    Rudy fantasy stuff also requires lots of luck

    The paypal thing is cool though

    I guess if the sites grow and winning pots grow it could be worthwhile.

    Fantasy requires a lot of luck? No it doesn't. Preparation, knowledge of the game and making sure you get into a league with a bunch of hamburgers. Like he said, who is easier to beat: the books or a bunch of average Joe's who load their fantasy teams up with their favorite players?

    When RR -- arguably the top poster on this site for finding winners -- talks about abandoning sports gambling and the difficulties of making profits long-term at it ... talk about a blow to SBR. Unfortunately, there are so many degens out there who want to give their money away to the books that no one will listen. Falls on deaf ears. But he is 150% correct: it's much easier to turn a profit at fantasy sports vs. gambling. Instead of the public's money going to the books, it goes to the sharpest guy in the room. I don't doubt that's RR in one of his typical fantasy leagues.

    Hard to predict players performance
    Once these sites become more popular like poker did it becomes pure luck
