Games Not Gaming

After spending a weekend figuring out Fantasy Football, I've decided to start a faux advocacy group, Games Not Gaming. GNG is founded on the idea that if you have to bet on a game to play it, the game itself is boring. It's not an anti-gambling group, it's an anti-lame game group. There's no real game in Fantasy Football. It's just gambling dressed up and nerdified. Ever play Blackjack NOT for money. Bo-Ring. However, people play Monopoly, a game about getting money for free, with no bets everyday. The only betting game I can think of that's interesting is poker. And really, it's just mildly interesting. Playing for no money renders poker pointless. Slots ISN'T a game. Real games of skill and strategy are only played for money by hustlers and fools. Case in point, pool. And you can enjoy pool without money changing hands.
So remember, if you have to pay to play, the play is lame. Word.
