I (33M) hang out with this group of friends, mostly high school buddies, who are obsessed with betting. On sports, life, anything really. And it’s like become their entire personalities. Our wives are all friends too so we will hang out together or the girls or guys together at once. Anyways, whatever we do, betting is injected into every part. Oh, we want to watch a basketball game, let’s bet on this this and this. Or we are out at a bar and they bet on what color car drives by next. It’s getting to the point where I don’t even want to hang out with them and I feel like I am pretty forgiving and thick skinned to take shit but holy shit it’s exhausting. Like fuck I am sick of hearing the word “bet” injected into every little thing. It might be terrible to think this but I feel like they are kinda losers for this. And they will razz anyone who doesn’t want to bet on everything lol. My other friend group, we will play billiards, go get wings, etc and it’s more refreshing talk instead of damn betting talk all the time. How can I subtly insulate that all this betting is loser activity? I don’t want to not see my boys but I’m starting to make excuses not to hang with them at times. Need some help lol
