    Would hate to own a fantasy site right now

    Sites are popping up nonstop and giving money away. Now is the time to sign up boys. Gotta get in before the "Moneymaker" of fantasy shows up.

    Yes, but the established ones will still profit.
    Draft Street, Fan Duel, Joust, all have devoted players. If the regulars go bust, they will still re up, the will not shop around.
    DraftDay is starting to get some traction too.

    Fishhead would love the fantasy sports sites, freerolls for cash galore.

    Used to love making money off CBS Sports a few years back. Haven't done fantasy in a while though.

    Agreed, there are so many sites popping up basically all doing the same thing. Definitely a players market right now.

    overlays, deposit bonuses, free cash giveaways, etc etc.

    advertisements everywhere...its only a matter of time.

    of the major sports I think baseball could return biggest profit but football will no doubt have the biggest ROI.

    ^
    The bigger sites make big bucks on the rake.
    For instance, my favorite is the 20 dollar, 10 man daily, salary cap (points) baseball league.

    They take in 200 dollars (20 x10) pay out 170 dollars across the top three finishers (90 and change on top, 50 and change for second, 20 and change for third)

    Take in 200, pay out 170, you get 30 off the top without risk, multiply that by, God knows how many daily games they have (tons on the weekends).

    If, let's use FanDuel for instance, offers just 50 of those 20 dollar leagues on a Saturday, their profit is 1500 dollars just on those leagues alone, then you got the 2 dollar leagues (tons of those) for the casual player that just likes to mess around, and don't forget the few 109 dollar leagues..................
