Girl About To Dump Me Due To Sports

[AddictedToBetting]

My advice...

If this girl is important to you, skip this fight. Take her out on a nice dinner Saturday night to make up for your time loss with her. Why don't you go get TiVo or do some old school TV recording. Sometimes, you gotta sacrifice something you love for the better good.

Then the UDWF system which is what, 5-0 since I started tracking and 3-0 for me since I played
Haha...


Whats the UDWF system your referring to and where is the group at that you were discussing? I did some googling but couldn't find much outside of "Give me your money and Ill tell you who will win"

Seems to me that you two just aren't on the same page. Instead of just saying "I'll skip the fight & spend time with you" you should just sit her down & tell her that sports is part of who you are, & that if she wants to be with you, she's going to have to accept it. Girls are crazy, she doesn't want you to skip the fight to be with her, she wants you to want to spend time with her so bad that you would skip the fight, ya dig?

In the first couple years I was with my fiancee, she gave me a bit of trouble over the whole gambling scenario. She never had a problem with me watching sports, as her brother & I grew up watching every sport together, so she is used to it. That's football all day Sunday, Saturday & every Sabres/Yankees game. She's fine with that, & enjoys going with me to Sabres games & to ballgames up in Toronto (no Bills games, too cold & she's not allowed LoL). However, when I started wagering she would always ask me if I was winning. If I was up say $600 one day, then lost $200 the next, she would be like why didn't you just stop if you were up. She just didn't get the whole gambling thing. It got a little annoying for a while, but eventually I just decided that it was better if she didn't ask me about it, & I didn't talk to her about it. Now she's fine with it, never asks me anything, & I always find the time to spend with her... not because I have to, but because I want to. I get the living room when my games are on, if there's something she really wants to watch, the tv is in the bedroom. Usually she TiVos whatever the hell it is she watches- really bad reality tv :puke:

The year the Sixers went to the championship, i literally watched every second of all 82 games. I had been going out with this girl for 3 years or so, and if the game was a night game, which was often, i would up with her and friends after. She never complained once. She also understands that I will never miss an Eagles game. EVER. I havent missed a Birds game since I was 12. She complies with this rule as well. I bought this girl a ring........

My point is you gotta find the one that give you what you like, but you also have to back that up with showing her you'll make sacrifices to her.

Ya know bud seems like this one is going to mind fck ya! Me and the wifey have been together for over 17 years and the only thing about sports she ever complained about is when I was booking it I spent way too many hours taking in phone calls. Missed some functions because of it. She doesn't bitch a bit about me gambling on the sporting events and she even cooks for the big ones I have at the house with my buds over drinking and watching. I also know when I've been pushing it so I'll skip a Friday night game and rent some movies and snuggle up with her! Little give and take goes a long way! To make a short story long....there are some good ones out there that will understand...hell my wife
couldn't give a **** about football but every now and then she'll even sit down with a cold strohs and watch a little of the game with me!!

I'll add my two cents here too. I just got out of a relationship right before football season started - and given the amount of time that I spend on the couch with laptop in hand betting games, I am glad I don't have a significant other. Also, going to Vegas here in February will be key. What happens...

Anyway, good luck bro. I know where you're coming at that's for sure. However, I've made it a point whenever I have gotten into a little relationship to let them know that I am probably more attracted to sports than them. :p Maybe it's why it doesn't last long.

Oh well, I'm only 24, so we'll be okay.

GL bud.

Whats up everyone, this is really the only outlet I have and can get feedback from people who understand or have possibily been in the same situation.

The last couple girls I have been with have accepted that I like to spend my weekend nights watching sports if possible, and then I see them after. I'll skip a small game, but won't miss big games of importance, and I won't miss any fights, period.

So this new girl Im with I actually like (didn't really like the last couple, but whatever) and she is pretty fed up with my showing up "after the game". Has anyone been in this situation, or can someone shed some light as to what to do? Was it worth it (whatever you did)? I know it sounds gay posting on an Internet forum about it but I don't really have anywhere else to turn, plus Im sure some people can relate here. I'm only 25 so it's not like Im pressed for time, but I really do like this chick.

There is a huge fight this weekend, and she made it pretty clear that this is my last chance. She took it as "he rather watch the fight than spend time with me", ha, which is true. Girls come and go, but fights like this are once in a lifetime. I just dont want to be 50+, single, over weight, and still "watching the fight"...damn, she put me in a bad position.

Advice?

Dude, just wait til your 30s. The older you get, the more attractive to women you become, and ironically, the less you care. Seriously, just be glad you aren't married to her, and the only thing at risk right now is some disappointment and the fact that you will have to look for a new source of poon soon. It could be worse! Much worse!

You know how long it takes to get over a woman? Exactly as long as it takes to get laid by another one after she "dumps you for watching sports".

I guess my advice is to just get another one :beerbang:. I know, easier said than done... but trust me - as Chris Rock says... life is LONG, especially if you are with the wrong woman!

[yomonte]

Like and love are 2 different things. As far as fights like this, **** there will always be another one.

And she will be bitching then too. I get to watch NFL and Nascar if its on and the TV is hers the rest of the time. Move the bitch in and get two TV's. You'll still be together just not up each others ass 24-7. Try meeting girls at a sports bar. At 25, you'll go thru more girls till ya settle in. She seems controlling to me.

You say you like watching "the fight" do you bet on boxing often, I am looking to get into it a bit because it seems easier to predict 2 people going at it vs 2 teams of 5-11 people I noticed the boxing section on here isnt very active.. where would I get started to get pointers?

Concerning the girl, I hate to say it, but if shes gonna give you crap on this, then if you give up the sports its very likely the relationship will end over something else down the road.. women seem to always find something wrong with what we are doing :)

Ya, I bet on boxing. You DO NOT want to look at it as "2 people going at it". Fights take months and sometimes years to happen. Know who they are training with (sparring partner), their actual trainer, follow their weight, nutritionists, who the cut man is, who is reffing the fights as well as the judges (this info comes out late), the weigh ins, where the fight is taking place, who is promoting the fight. With ALL that being said, you still have the politics. Which fighter is better for boxing? Which fighter winnnig will make more money? There is no centralized sanctioning body in boxing, which we have been asking for forever. Have no central allows each org to be as crooker as they want, and all you can do it take it up with that body.

Imagine in baseball, if something happend the only thing you could do is take it up with the AL East. Instaed, they take it up with MLB and the hammer gets put down. Boxing is so crooked its ridiculous and I've been on the bad end of crooked scoring more than than good, but sometimes it favors you.

You can pick everything apart, know its going to happen and it does. But hey, the judges say otherwise. Or the ref stops is too early. When you are right, you are wrong. When you are wrong, you can be right. I've lost Over/Unders by seconds, on horrible stoppages. I've also had my boxer get schooled and I still won the decision.

There are just so many factors and you really have to follow all of them. Inside info always helps, knowing if a fighter is hurt or not in training, has the flue, etc. I know fights dont happen that often, but we got a good group over there when it happens. MMA has been a little tough lately, but boxing has been kind to me.

I know there really are no "locks" but having a "lock" on a fight is as close as it gets. Put it like this, if you were getting 10K to fight, and someone offered you 5x that to lose and you are a nobody to begin with, ya...you will probably take the dive and leave with 60K.

Then the UDWF system which is what, 5-0 since I started tracking and 3-0 for me since I played :thumbs:
Haha...

Join us over there, we got a good group.

all suitable places to find a replacement if this one doesn't work out....just don't get deuced coming up Newport Blvd.....double opportunities now that CMPD is in on the game.....

Haha, I'm North OC. I hate South OC, just not my scene. I stick with Anaheim, Orange, Burna Park, Brea, Fullerton, etc.
Newport, Costa Mesa, Irvine, etc...just not my scene. You know what I'm saying, 2 totally different atmospheres, types of people, mentality, etc.

Mularkeys does have some BOMB food though. Whats up with the Fried Zuchini topped with melted cheese?! Yard House, the Spectrum right? I've been, its bunk. Pretty classy for an over sized bar though.

Ha, Woody's..ya, some old people there. I have Fox Fire down the street from me, talk about old ladies. It's alright though.

I know what you're saying though...thanks man.

Ha, because I've done the "F U Im going to do what I want" to girls my whole life, Im actually trying to make this one work. I know, what the hell is wrong with me...but I just thought it was the "right thing to do". You know, the whole comprimise thing, and it wasn't worth a damn thing!
