Why do men like to gamble and take risks more often than women do?

I’ve been playing online backgammon for about 4 years.. 9 X out of 10 male players, when they believe they’re going to win, will ask to double the bet. In comparison maybe 2 out of 10 women do the same. I feel the men players are actually just being douches while the women have empathy for their opponent but let’s give men the benefit of the doubt and assume it’s bravery 😂😂... but why does this difference exist so clearly between men and women?🤔
