      99% of people who actually care about fantasy sports are squares/losers.

      Nothing worse than hanging around someone who treats fantasy sports like life and death.

        Problem with fantasy is people can't separate it from real life football. Just cause some guys great in fantasy doesn't mean he's actually a good football player. And vice versa. That's my beef

        But I just won my league so I'm feeling good

              I've been playing in a money Fantasy League for 13 years now.

              The nice thing about Fantasy is that it keeps you interested in just about every single game in the NFL and you don't miss anything. Especially if you have the Direct TV NFL ticket.

                Fantasy football is too much work. I played a lot of it last year. It was too exhausting.

                Gamblers are notably lazy.

                      JJ, thanks.

                      Let me ask you a question.

                      Why are people so angry here? Do gamblers start out angry, or do they become that way over time? Give me your thoughts.

                          Theoretically, good fantasy players should be good bettors. However, not necessarily true the other way around.

                            I think we discussed this before. And you're right, it's much easier to go from fantasy to gambling, than the other way.

                                Really? I cashed out several max checks from bookmaker, and 30k from fanduel the last 3 months.

                                      There are chest pounding threads I think.

                                      There is one where I chest pound about winning a $3 +2500 prop parlay with money I made selling cigarettes I stole outta my friend's mom's purse.

                                      Its all relative though. That was when I was in my late 20's was really poor.

                                          SBR is full of failed bettors.
                                          Not all of them play fantasy either.

If you understand sports and understand that fantasy sports and sports betting are no where near there same thing, there's no reason you can't profit in both. If you can't profit betting sports there's a good chance you won't be successful in fantasy either because you simply do not understand the variance that comes into play with individual game sports betting opposed to year long stats of certain players whether they are good or not...
