I am always willing to sacrifice a fantasy win for a Redskins win any time.

Me too. It really not that bad of a conflict of interest. I usually chose not to have Redskins on my team, cause ill get too pissed at the team.

Now i have a friend who will gamble and actually gamble agaisnt his team which I think is blasphemy. His rationale "If they win or lose, ill feel good either way" I think that is bullshit...i never feel good when the skins lose, meaning i feel bad alot

I think there is a fundamental difference between rooting as a fan and gambling.

Rooting is done with your heart and your emotions.

Betting is done with your brain and your wallet.

I have exactly ZERO difficulty in separating those two activities...

I completely Agree I do it all the time.

In fact when I bet against Dallas because I feel the line favors me it becomes some what a win, Win for me... If Dallas loses well at least I made so money and if Dallas win I don't care if I lost the bet because my team won!!!

Agreed.

And once you learn to separate the two, it's no big deal.
