Was it a fantasy league? I guess it’s gambling, but not what most people would consider sports betting. I know lots of people who play in a fantasy league with friends every season and do no other gambling.
Drafting players and then fielding a team every week for a season can be fun if you like the sport.
- tombert 1y agoIt was a fantasy league, and yes I am sure if you liked football it could be fun to figure out players and the like and having a small amount of money on the line might even make it a bit more exciting. The problem for me is that I had no idea with regards to anything about football, so my picks weren't radically different than a random number generator, and unsurprisingly I lost. I had absolutely no fun in the process and I would have rather spent that $50 on a video game or something.
- matwood 1y agoIt’s unfortunate you didn’t have fun. We often do leagues at work and it’s great team building. People have won who just used the auto draft feature and a woman won one year who picked all her players based on uniform colors. You don’t have to know much about football, and it gives some common ground for small talk.
- tombert 1y agoI think a large part of it was the fact that it was mandatory, and I didn’t like my coworkers very much, but I don’t have fun with the selection process.
