stonewall 647 Posted December 4, 2014 I have wondered lately about us hard-core FF types.....you know, the type that hang out on FF forums, and endlessly search innumerable sources looking for that tidbit of information that might or might not give us an ever-so-slight slight edge. Do you think that these "types" are more probable than the general population to have addictive personality in other facets of their lives? Do you? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reality 2,884 Posted December 4, 2014 Definitely.. Job, family, kids, exercise, etc... Not one aspect of my life isn't affected by it. As long as you can focus or channel it with productive things you will be ok. It can easily go very badly though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bfros 53 Posted December 4, 2014 the die-hards are simply ultra-competitive dudes who enjoy socialized forms of aggression. FF is a perfect fit for that. Like the guy said above, as long as the "addiction" isn't adversely affecting your family/personal life, etc, it's a fine outlet. The problem is that when it comes to the adversely affecting part, most guys will say "it's all good". We are the worst ones to ask. Addicts always feel like they got it under control. Ask our wives, kids, etc....they'll tell the truth. I've had to really dial my ff involvement way back over the years...and I never play for money anymore. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thegame 8 Posted December 4, 2014 Yep. I'm pretty focked up. I wish I could have the success I have in fantasy picking stocks. On a serious note, I thnk we're pretty addictive but channeled the right way it's a good thing. I am glad though that this shizza isn't year round. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Filthy Fernadez 2,696 Posted December 5, 2014 Sure. I'm not that competitive but when I start doing something, it's usually a 100% effort. FF is just another avenue to focus myself and helps pass the time at work on Midnight shifts. I'm just getting into fanduel and regret that I missed the first 12 weeks of the season with it. Talk about addicting....You come up with several lineups and want to score on them all. It doesn't require much more effort than I'm already putting into my two FF leagues.

tanatastic 2,061 Posted December 6, 2014 No, no addiction here but I get obsessed with stuff. Nothing important like getting ahead in life or anything productive. I get obsessed over food, movies, sports and video games. It's a miricle I found a woman who wants to marry me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
