what kind of ridiculous wager is this

I have always just assumed bets like that are money laundering of some sort. I don't even understand why casinos offer betting lines like that on things that are nearly certain to occur. I guess because they want to make money from suckers betting on the longshots (aka anyone other than Ohtani to win MVP)
 
CT is flying these days. Well done, squad.

I feel weird about $, because my wife and I do just fine for ourselves, but a quite a few of our friends, particularly Wake friends, make like 2-5X more money than we do. Definitely some dumb pangs of jealousy and "keeping up with the Jones", even though we certainly don't need more money.
 
And I also once challenged a dude to a 500 dollar workout contest over an interwebs argument so let’s not act like my wife is the only irrational one in the marriage.

whatever happened to that dude

he offered to give me a few thousand dollars if I left the country and even followed up via PM when I said I was interested

Idk. We made nice and we were planning to meet up and have a friendly competition and grab some beers after and then he disappeared.

One of my closest friends and his wife are both partners at name brand venture capital firms. I’m not even jealous because they are so many tiers above us despite my wife and I both having very successful professional careers.

One of my closest friends has most his wealth in the stock of a public company that routinely goes up and down 30-40% per week. He’s down a couple mil this week, it’s nuts to watch
 
The vast majority of my family outside of my folks are pretty wealthy, and my brother probably makes around 20 times what I make. It’s never bothered me. It’s actually almost like being rich because you can take advantage of all their nice shit, and they feel good giving a poor public servant a taste of the good life. Plus they rent mountain houses when they come to visit and I don’t have to worry about a million people in my house.
 
I have also learned to mask my “bro, why you so torn up about such insignificant shit” face. That was definitely a relationship game changer. Because what’s petty to one can be life shattering for another.

It's tough for me because that's my face.

What can I do if that's just my face?

A friend said he began asking "am I providing support or are we problem solving?" Or something like that. I am hoping this will help me reframe my own responses.
Similarly, I've heard "do you want sympathy/support or solutions"

at least you didn't participate in a dick measuring contest
 
My wife left a cushy corporate job to start her own business so we took a hit last year. We got some inheritance from a deceased family member so that plus things re-opening and we've been very spendy this year and will need to dial it back going into 2022. I think I probably do ok compared to my Wake friends, probably somewhere in the middle, but it's hard to tell. My BIL and SIL hit it big with an IPO last year...like fuck you money big, so that's going to create an interesting dynamic for us, though they did let us stay with them in a DOPE house in San Diego they rented for a month, so I suspect we'll see some benefits like that going forward but it's going to be interesting to see how our lives start to diverge from theirs based on this windfall.
