Let me preface this by saying I am guilty of both quite often.

So you have the guy that when watching a random NFL game will cheer when some obscure WR catches a TD because "frick yeah, he's my flex."

Then you have the guy when watching the Thursday night Western Kentucky/San Jose State game "frick YEAH, I had San Jose State -3 in a 4 team teaser with Central Michigan, Utah State and Northern Illinois."

So which is worse? Equal?

All my friends do that for fantasy. Only pisses me off if I have someone who puts fantasy points above their favorite team winning.

Don't know any gambling degenerates

if you stay away from your favorite teams, your not a smart bettor

a lot of money to be made on and against your favorite team.

There is nothing more painful in this world than hearing your girlfriend and her sister talk about their fantasy teams. I can fricking promise you that.

That woman in your office in a 6 or 8 team league who always talks about how good her team is.

Either person that mentions their fantasy team or bet in a game thread is an annoying frick.

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.

Fantasy guy because he gets mad at things happening that make no sense


"Dude that team is up by 20 points, why would you start running the ball?!! I have your QB so you need to fricking pass!!"

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

second worse is gambling guy who is freaking out about a $50 bet.

most respectable is a relatively high roller who plays $500 or higher on average.

A high roller doesn't get too excited either way after a single bet.
