But football chat has become more interesting, Wallflower, with the VAR debate. Arguments now about marginal offsides, accidental handball, fouls, etc etc has now enlivened my Saturday evening Match of the Day! Though it has spoilt the game overall. There needs to be new rules brought in.When I was young no young man chatting me up mentioned football, I wished he had.

If we're courting we keep sport locked away

Betting? would never mention that to a lady either

In fact I would wager the first 3 months of a new relationship for a man sport/gambling goes on the back burner, its only when they've tied her up and dumped her in the kitchen we resume those games

That is where we are different, Sontaram. I would never let my love of gambling be on the 'back burner' where new, or existing, men(or women) are concerned

you re a very rare woman annie lol i have never known a woman to gamble

By:

peckerdunne When: 28 Jan 20 17:22

Coach you haven't lived..

A lot of hard core female gamblers about, just a tad harder to spot.

By:

Coachbuster When: 28 Jan 20 17:28

interesting ...must be something they keep under their hat .

I have never known an openly female gambler then

Coachbuster When: 28 Jan 20 17:28

unless you count bingo

By:

peckerdunne When: 28 Jan 20 17:33

Bingo is quite expensive nowadays, some women play many books several nights a week..

They buy bundles of scratch cards, 49s , lottery, on line games, and they enter bookies too, often in the am period...

Buy next week you will now see them gambling at every turn........

Coachbuster When: 28 Jan 20 17:53

i know there are problem women gamblers.

they bet on roulette and stuff and get hooked

Aren't women suppose to love football now? that's what we're told anyway

Its like these people just move the goalposts whenever they need to implement any kind of c***

Bullseye SS. Oh how these feminists get all tangled in the web of their own making.

The sad thing is, Coachbuster, is that I have rarely had a boyfriend/girlfriend who loves gambling as much as me

In fact the opposite, most of them have disapproved of my love of horseracing, then, and now poker, football etc etc

I don't gamble huge amounts and I think 'gambling' is the wrong word. There should be another word for those of us who study the games and not just use chance such as roulette etc.

Coachbuster When: 28 Jan 20 18:34

my old man used to call it 'speculating'

By:

Coachbuster When: 28 Jan 20 18:44

I remember there was a lady on here called galloping carrot decades ago ..i think she liked the dogs/horses etc for a bet .

also there was Cathy 22 ...but i think she was a hoax

I remember galloping carrot and Cathy22 as well, Coachbuster. Like you I have had my doubts about some of the 'women' on here, they just don't sound like women.

I think 'speculating' is a much better word for playing poker and football betting as there is a modicum of intelligence required. Unlike roulette etc. My dad was a gambler as well, he started me off putting on bets for me on the Grand National - starting a long love of horseracing that only ended some years ago. Although I often miss it and think about going back to it, but I haven't got the time to study form, bet on horseracing and play poker as well

Coachbuster When: 28 Jan 20 19:41

it's interesting that you study form Annie and so gives you a head start over the rest of us ,and i hope it's paid off ...very few gamblers i know study much of anything ,neither do I these days

I sometimes get a good feeling in my bones about a game and will punt ,but more often i bet on something if i feel the odds are out of place ...i've just got to know the prices over the years .

I still never seen a woman in a bookies though back in the day except for Derby day

By:

annie. When: 28 Jan 20 19:55

When I was betting on horses and on my days off I was always in the bookies! It wasn't the same when I could get all the racing on my tv, but it was better in lots of ways.

By:

annie. When: 28 Jan 20 19:57

All that studying didn't pay off, Coachbuster, but I think I lost a lot less that if I hadn't
