    Really sucks for those states.

    Daily fantasy sports just keep getting bigger and bigger, it's going to be bigger than the poker boom.

    I just hope the idiots in government dont try to shut it down.

    No money in it if you like winning two and five and $10 fine but it takes too much time and you can't win much


    I love how they advertise all these big winners it's just like the lottery of course there's some winners

    How you figure? There is a winner in every contest. Little different than the lottery

    Yeah, but the rake is still too much, not highway robbery, but they do take in 12 and pay 10

    One of my buddies keeps trying to get me to play at DK. I just figure.... it's just another website that could be rigged. If it is or isn't... who's to really say? You don't know everyone's log name. Why couldn't it be rigged?

    They advertise false dreams if you really analyze these fantasies sites, sure it's fine if you like sports don't get me wrong but if you're in it to make money you're going to be very very surprised that most of the time you will not be cashing… The more people that get involved the more becomes a lottery every week

    I know, that's why I finally quit playing. Just too much hold on their vig.

    You would think another company would open up and become the Pinnacle of the fantasy leagues.

    It's not rigged.

    Well, I guess they could add bogus teams to tournaments. Heads-up games certainly aren't rigged though.

    There are some other sites popping up, but all they can really do is try to get cash game players by offering less rake.

    Can't see anything taking much other business from draftkings, simply too much prize money in their GPP's.

    Congratulations. That's awesome! The only negative thing about this site is a member can enter a contest 500 times and that makes it an uneven playing field.

    Yeah, I guess most people do play the GPP's, which would make it pretty difficult to steal their clientele. I always thought of those as crapshoots, and would usually just play heads-up games, and typically got beat by better players. I swear it seems like I would play the same guys over and over.

    Rake is too high to be a grinder. You got to get lucky and win a big one to really make money.

    Agree 100% with you guys, head to head you see the same people in all the contests. Even the guys playing for $5000, enter the $10 contests as well.

    Tournaments are the way to go, id compare it to a poker tournament. You need skill, but there is luck involved as well.

    NBA is the easiest money, for sure.

    When Jarred Jack was starting for D-Wil, Jack was rock bottom minimum salary, and he was getting like 16 points and 7 dishes a night for 2 weeks, allowing cap room for Griffin or Harden and I was cashing regular.

    Low to mid range cashes, but it was nice

    there is Draftkings and Fanduel. I personally like Fan Duel better but Draftkings has taken over. Their logo is on everything. In my opionion, there should be single entry tournaments and not the way it is now. It would show who really is the best.

    Do they offer single entry only tournaments?

    If they do, it's very little. this is a site focused on guys who want to throw 100 entries into a tournament and that's the part I don't like. On the other hand, they do have good offerings (prizes)

    Yeah they really need to work on there advertising although it seems to be working. But for someone like me I see that and already see Red Flags. They should just have someone talk about there big 1 million dollar tournament and how easy it is to play. Instead of showing a 300 lb overweight fuk say "I won 64,000 on draftkings"

    I might try this out. I don't have an account at any of these fantasy sites yet, I will have to do some research now. Do they offer any kind of recruit a friend thing so someone gets credit at least? If yes I already chose Nash because he once showed me that he played there. I think it was DK's? Wonder if Flipper made an account for this fantasy stuff, he had a thread going before.

    not really the content but the frequency of it. they play that shit on every commercial break in every sporting event. it gets annoying as fukk. i think draftkings signed a huge deal with espn to play their commercial or something.

    Actually I pass here still. The more I think about it I do not follow twitter like others and take advantage of every piece of player news daily to keep up anymore. It would be flushing more down the toilet I think then necessary.. I'll just keep losing to vegas on parlays and underdogs and live dealers.
