Default Guys, I almost hit a parlay for 26k, got me thinking...

If you had or have had a nice payout like this, would you tell your gf or wife of it?

You just know they will want you to buy shit.

I think I would try and let it slide...

The excitement would show, and she would be bound to find out. Give her $100.

Slicker, it would be very hard to keep quiet about it...

Especially if she asks how I managed to buy that snake skin wallet and those white gators.

I was in Atlantic City about 10 years ago. I had taken about $2000 with me and proceeded to turn it into $10,300 on one spin of the roulette wheel. I cannot remember exactly how I layed out the money, but the main component was 33 (Larry Bird's number). After I had won, I called my then gfriend in NYC to tell her the good news, and to get dressed up for Sunday Brunch because that's what we were going to do with part of the winnings ( I had won the money Saturday at about 3AM). After getting off the phone and cashing out. I walked to another roulette table and saw 2 VERY attractive girls sitting alone. I decided to l ook like a big shot and began to bet $500-$1000 a spin. Suffice to say the girls were not impressed and I lost ALL but $30 of my money in about 3 hours. When I FINALLY got back into NYC. I went to the Gfriends apt. She was all decked out and ready to go. When she saw the look on my face, she knew I had lost it. The look on her face was a bad as the loss I took in AC. I then lost $7200 in football that Sunday afternoon making my day not so enjoyable. To make a long story short, I will NEVER tell a gfriend how much I have won/lost unless I hand it to her and say "Here, enjoy". Don't need the added stress again..lol.

These are the items you would buy? Hm. A snake skin wallet usually runs what? Less than one thousand I would think lol. Maybe buy a car instead?

Casper that had to hurt.....unreal I can't believe that you lost all of that money. Well at least you know now that no matter how much money you bet with, you will not look like a big shot. Girls will always just think, this guy is a bigger Degen than the next and nothing more.

If you wear the pants in your relationship then yes you tell her. If she wears them then no you dont tell her.

I think most guys on here fall into the latter category.

I would not tell my gf, and when she wonders where my money is coming from i would say i was grinding out sports and doing okay... girlfriends don't understand the ups and downs involved with sportsbetting so any loses i take after a big score would make me feel like a failure, and letting her down or something. but this would never occur like this because i rarely do parlays.

I would tell her I won, but tell her a smaller amount. You can still show your excitement and do something nice for her and keep the rest in savings. Just make sure you withdrawl the money out of your online acct or you might lose it.

This is what you do if you are married. Most married men either don't get any action or get it on certain days or a certain amount of times a week. You know if you win money she is gonna get it anyway so buy sexual favors from your wife so at least you get something out of it. I was like I know you wanna go shopping and I am feeling horny now so how about I give you a few hundred, we get it on, and then you go out and shop your heart out. It worked.

Whenever I go on a big run and get a decent cash out I always end up spilling the beans when I have a couple drinks. Must be some sort of seeking approval. Oh well.

I wouldn't have any problem telling her. If she expected me to buy her something because of it, the relationship would be over. I would probably have a nice dinner with her but that would be the extent of it.

It's a great question 5teamer.....I like the woman to share in the joy, but one thing I've noticed is that anytime there is a big payday, it doesn't take long before she lets me know exactly what "we" should be spending the money on.....Example: Want to get the basement all finished and such but don't have the coin? Guess what honey...You just had a big pay day so we can do it now.....

I go with "No".....As someone else mentioned, just tell her you're grinding it out day by day.....

I dont talk about my gambling with my gf and she doesnt talk about her shopping problem with me either. Seems to work well if we both turn a blind eye. She tried once to get some of my winnings and ever since then she hasn't bothered. I earned that money and her paws don't get it.

Never tell anyone anything when you win or lose, gamblers got big mouths and that is why they are unsuccessful

You could have just spent 2500.00 to bang both girls in your room then gone to your women and been like yeah, turns out I only won about 5k... not 10k...I got excited

Now off the board - I just computed the payout and it would be exactly 52938. You bet 6 to win 523.38 and your book rounded up to 523.40.

Nice try.

bad thing is i didnt bet 6 bucks so now youre stuck wondering how much i exactly did bet if you would even care much!

buuuuut beyond this fact...im sure 99.9% of these clowns havent hit a 3 team parlay let alone an 8 teamer...feels good to have 2 under my belt in less than one year!
