fantasy fanatic is way worse and lamer b/c he doesn't actually have money on the line.


I think 90% or more of fantasy leagues involve money on the line

Gambling guy because he thinks he's cool but he's really an idiot.

But fantasy guy is almost as bad. I think the fantasy guy who talks about his team is the guy in a money league, which kind of makes him a pseudo gambling guy.

Basically, anyone who talks about himself or his interests during the game sucks.

The gambling guy who talks to most is usually the guy who has relatively small amounts of money on the line. Just like with everything else: the guy who talks the most and the loudest has the least.

Negative. I will bet on the Falcons but won't have them on my fantasy team. One is for real money and the other is for fun (though can bring in cash, too).

I'm going to have to go with the fantasy guy though. Look at someone like wegotdatwood. Even on the fantasy board where everyone is encouraged to talk about their team, he goes overboard bringing up his team in a thread that doesn't even involve one his players.


I do that because many bitched about me making threads.

I got something that's worse. My father in law and uncle who think LSU is going to the national championship when there are like 9 undefeated teams ahead of them.

The gambling fantasy fanatic is the worst. I know a guy who is equally a gambling and fantasy addict.

The worst is:

Gambling guy that talks to you ad nauseum about a game you didn't bet on

Fantasy guy that talks to you ad nauseum about his fantasy team when you aren't matched up against him

Fantasy Guys

These guys usually believe they know something you do not. As in, you haven't been a sports fan who doesn't keep up with stats.

News flash Fantasy Guys.. we all have played fantasy sports since 10yrs old and gave it up because it really is pointless.
