canada goose Meet The Guy Who Lost $70,000 Playing Fantasy Football Christine DiGangi Canada Goose womens sale , Credit.com Sep. 19, 2014, 10:06 AM Stein, pictured above, pays $1,000 to join some of his leagues.Alex Stein / Credit.comAlex Stein loves watching football, playing football, and betting on football. That last activity has emerged as his favorite over the years, and at times it has been a lucrative pastime. He just has one problem: The Dallas Cowboys. “It kills my fantasy team, because I always draft the Cowboys,” Stein said. “I can’t bet on other players in the NFC East because I hate those guys.” Stein, 27, said he’s lost a lot of money because of his emotional investment in the Cowboys. “I’m down maybe 70 or $80,000,” he said. He’s not sure exactly how much, but he’s at a net loss over his years of betting. Still, he loves it. He really, really loves it. His voice is full of excitement and happiness, even when he talks about losing thousands of dollars, because he’s still talking about football. Little else seems to matter. He’s in five fantasy football leagues (for the uninitiated, that means he has five rosters made up of players around the league, whose performances earn him points against his opponent’s roster), and he also bets on the head-to-head matches. The Dallas Cowboys are Stein’s weak spot. Wesley Hitt / Stringer / Getty Images It may seem crazy how someone could lose so much money over fantasy matchups, but betting on football adds up. Some of Stein’s leagues require a $1,000 buy-in, and he bets on college football as well. He says his alma mater, LSU, usually makes up for a lot of the money he loses on the Cowboys. Stein said he doesn’t have debt, but he also doesn’t keep detailed track of his finances. His work in reality TV (behind and in front of the camera), as well as his work as a bail bondsman and car salesman allows him a comfortable lifestyle, to say the least. “I can’t watch a game without putting money on it. It’s boring zoetermeerinbeeld.nl ,” Stein said. “It’s an addiction, honestly, but I don’t think it’s ruined my life.” Read the original article on Credit.com. Copyright 2018.
