    fantasy sports sucks too much work involved and have to get lucky as hell.

    That's exactly what the NY state legislature would have you believe.

    And then you play under their rules.

    And then you change your game to something else - guaranteed.

    They got to get a piece of the action. If they make it illegal then the money just leaves the country

    Unreal.

    Agreed, but it's fun to throw in a lotto ticket or two in the big tournaments. Glad NYC can participate

    Why not do both? Actually easier to win money in fantasy and there are plenty of high stakes games available. I intend to do a couple of 250s and one 500 buy-in this year.

    Pure luck and random unless your playing tons of computer generate combos that most people cannot do

    PA is passing a similar law. They are also allowing video slot type gaming in clubs and restaurants.
    While taxing heavily. (sin tax)

    All I know is that a 15% tax on gross revenue is massive takeout before DK or FD even get their slice of the pie. Actual players left fighting for scraps. Makes the horsetrack a value play by comparison.

    yep -- wasting time is bad. time not wasted on fantasy could be better spent averaging almost 60 posts/day for 11 years
