Doesn't matter about the size of the bet, I can handle it if she is in the room. But my one game a week in the NFL (don't laugh the Lions) she has to be out of sight for me or I will get irriatated and annoyed very easily. Can you watch a HUGE game whether it be a big bet (ok in my case) or just your favorite team with significant other with you, not me I have to concentrate and be left alone the ENTIRE game.
