HELP!!! God Damn Weddings are going to ruin my Saturdays this fall

**SBR_John** · 08-28-05, 11:25 AM

Get one of these Theo 650's fast! At least you can hang out in the bathroom and watch the drives on Sportsline.com!

Any guy who gives in and lets his wife-to-be miss a horns game is rightfully destined for failure.

C'mon, grow a set! This is the year!

This thread reminds me of the beginning of Old School where Vince Vaughn is trying to talk Will Ferrell out of getting married.

"Do I look like a happy guy to you, Frank?"

The only "special event" that could ever come between me and my Saturday betting in September would be a funeral - my own.

good grief bear,

As men we certinally love the games and even more $banking on them but if we lose our family over it what is it all worth ?

I been at this well over 2 decades and have been able to get my long time wife involved by letting her do some email work, calling in plays, opening new accounts for us and the SMART part of it all collecting the money on Monday morning pay day!

Grin and BEAR it BUDDY, be a little smarter than she thinks she and it is sooo much better and relaxing and you WIN more $ cash !

course i'm as square as a box.

**Senator7** · 08-28-05, 12:32 PM

Square,

I, too, have been very successful at getting my girlfriend interested in the things I love. "Sports Investment", however, is one thing that I just can't seem to get her hooked on. She'd probably be a big help too with an advanced degree in Math!

**BuddyBear** · 08-28-05, 12:35 PM

It's not that simple....the two weddings are one for her friend and one for my friend so that is even. But then the peripherial stuff I might be able to work around now that she found a job that looks like it is going to take up a lot of her Saturday's. But during the week, I am a student and teacher and have my hands full. So the wekend is the logical time to relax and relaxing to me is watching a game and having a beer and a snack. Relaxing to her is something different altogether.

SBR John--this is not a wife to be just a girlfriend. yeah it would suck to miss the Texas/OSU game and ND/MICH game which i am actually looking more forward to.

I'd like to find a girlfriend like Mudcat

And you are square as a box

? I'm one of those closet bettors. I get knocked off sometimes like when I'm checking the Hawaii vs Rice score at 3AM.

John,

Charlie Brown ? I am not, square ? I AM NOT!

Billy and I have golfed together for years my friend.

Just a joke buddy.

Pleasure being on you and Bill's site. I do respect your position, in most cases, and think that you guys are a good service for the industry in general for sure.

Let's Smackem buddy,

Buddy is seems to me its time for you to dump her and stay home like us and bet all day

Buddy gamblers do not like commitents

get out of relationship

**Brick Tamland** · 08-29-05, 02:57 AM

BuddyBear,

Post her Picture so we can make an informed decision. If she is better lookgin than you go where she tells you. If she is a beast... she makes you nachos during the game. Thats just nature and its always been like that.

Good Greif,

REAL GOOD point Brick!

Put your bets down and go to the weddings and have a good time. Forget about the gambling for a couple of hours for crying out loud. Some things are more important! When I have days like weddings, funerals, family outings are just don't gamble or I bet it and check the score the next day so I can stay focused on what is more important, life!

**pags11** · 08-29-05, 03:21 PM

holy cow...I feel for you...I'd get a sports pager at least or have a phone that gets the scores...

Check it the next day?? Not me. I'm the guy with the earbud in at church. Laptop at the dinner table. My own wedding was during half time of a Celtics game. My friends tell me I should quit gambling. I might quit life first.

If you gamble your marriage will crumble

**victorygallop** · 08-31-05, 10:03 AM

8 weddings is my record for one summer

**jjgold** · 08-31-05, 11:20 AM

8 weddings!! Wow!!!

Galloper cut down on your friends or just throw them a nickle each not too show

**Watson** · 08-31-05, 02:06 PM

I had four weddings all in the same month and mine was the first one of them. I like to give one dollar more than they gave me. Just to get the last word in.
