    Some of these DFS sites will fold with the players' money or will be found to be operating major scams. Only a matter of time. Tread cautiously on some of these sites following the football season.

    i don't mind making picks on fantasy performance
    straight like a books
    but what i don't like is decreasing my likelihood of winning
    by competing with thousands of other ppl.

    Adam Silver has made public statements to legalize sports gambling
    it will be owned by the New York tribe lawyers.
    All info will be hard-wired to the I.R.S. and N.S.A.

    I made a nice cash in an NHL GPP for 2nd place. Was a single goalie save away from getting first. Might re-up for NHL, but prefer to focus on betting NHL.

    If we're gonna talk about commercials we hate, I hate all the football related commercials during football season. Every penetrating commercial is some asshole watching the big game. We get it. We're watching football. When I watch basketball or hockey almost none of the commercials are related to the sport itself.

    The juice in some of these games is sick. They take something everyone thinks they are good at and rake the shit out of it. It's such a level playing field now. Use to be nobody knew what rotoworld was, now there are thousands of sites, people can get injury and player updates on their phone. You really have to know what you're doing and put a lot of time into it to make money in the long run...unless you're just taking shots

    Reminds me of all the "dot.com" companies that bought all the Super Bowl ads one year. They were all bankrupt and out of business soon after.

    Despite the rake, Draft Kings still doesn't turn a profit. This year is make or break for some of these companies. They are throwing a lot of advertising dollars at gaining regular players, but if they continue to overlay big events, this shit will be a fart in the wind.

    The promo codes crap me up..

    You could probably put any word on the dictionary in as a promo code and would grant you something.

    those promo codes are just to track the advertising so they can target where the money gets spent

    it does seem like they are running out of promo codes though
