This will probably get overlooked but I think there's a lot to unpack here.
1) Gunt has proven time and time again that he doesn't give a shit what Meigh says, and she's proven that she takes the backseat and lets him do whatever he wants. So why did she make such a big deal as to stop him from making this bet? And he listened?
2) He's publicly seething about her and calling her a "genius" which means he's surely hollered and said much worse to her in person, and since he has 0 friends he has no other outlet but to come on twitter to whine.
3) He also hasn't said much about gambling recently at all, but suddenly has the big idea to bet $1k, which is more than his stated usual bet?
So a couple of possibilities here. I think Meigh must have seriously put her foot down to actually get him to listen to her. This is a fairly large change from their usual dynamic. She of not only having to care for a baby, feed a baby, and clean up a baby's shitty ass, but also taking care of Rozy at the same time.
I also think they are starting to actually get worried about money. My guess is they did not expect to lose money on Ralphamania and this fact sent Gunt into a bender spiral. The fact that they used Harry's card on a big ticket item tracks with this. Someone flush with cash doesn't need to resort to that, and Ralph probably thought it was a temporary maneuver until the payday from Ralphamania came in that weekend.
His solution is to start gambling more, and larger amounts, to earn money, which is typical of a gambling addict. Meigh, despite being retarded, has probably taken a more pragmatic approach and reminded her pickle-brained chubby hubby that it is money they really cannot afford to lose. notion. With Harry gone, there is no life line anymore so they can't just frivolously burn money and expect to be bailed out.
The real question is, does Meigh control the money? Ralph makes it sound like he needed her permission to bet it, and he has never been one to seek advice from her or anyone when he wants to do something. He just does it.
Some interesting dynamic shifts afoot in the Ralph household.
