Table 2.

Percentages of players (n = 4045) who reported they had gambled more or less money than they expected or had spent about as much as expected by gender

	More than expected	About as much	Less than expected	Total
Female	403 (34%)	701 (60%)	71 (6%)	1175
Male	833 (29%)	1846 (64%)	191 (7%)	2870
Total	1236 (31%)	2547 (63%)	262 (6%)	4045

The average age across the two first groups was 42 years (see Table 3), and players who reported that they lost less than expected were on average 39 years which was statistically significant (F = 6.246, df = 4043, p = 0.0125)
