It's easy access to funding and considered legal (a test of skill and they say it's not gambling). The commercials are idiotic as they put up the winners. However, there are huge players on there in head to head matchups aside from tournaments. I think it's skill and luck. People can win massive amounts of money as one poster here stated that he did, but the volume makes it a bit of a lottery like J.J. said.
I say play tournaments with money that you can afford to lose because there's definitely the capability of winning something. Fan Duel avoids "stacking" where as Draftkings doesn't. I hate stacking because that takes no skill and the guy with the thickest wallet has the best chance of winning. I love to see the guy with the one entry beat those sharks with 100 entries or more. What a joke.

Rake is way too high I don't get why it has to be so high

Since this thread I have been playing multiple $3-9 big tournies every day in MLB and Soccer.....I seem to do better in the MLB turbos where there's only a few games to choose from from one start time
Haven't hit the big one yet but have tripled my deposit so chipping away....Had a couple decent cashes, including a first place in English Premier League last Saturday but it was only for like 80 bucks (not many people)
So far, it's pretty fun...just waiting for that big cash

I wound up playing so much that I'm now a "VIP". They occasionally have special contests.
Wednesday night I won four tickets to a suite at a Mets game. Can't make it that night unfortunately.

Sucks that Govt allow this but won't allow sports betting. Just like they let people drink but not smoke weed. Both are the same but one is illegal. bull crap

A fellow SBR poster just won 500k at the MLB championships. It's crazy how many tournaments they have daily. The rake they're collecting must be insane.

Whoever owns Draft Kings... guy is loaded like a motha. Making so much dough day in and day out. Government just waiting for that dude to fuk up on one tax error to storm in that company. You bet your life on it.
When they said this was legal... (for whatever reason....) I said... it's a matter of time... the gov will be zoning in soon enough. It's considered gambling. I don't care what anyone says.

I asked if I could give them away but they said no. They're under my name at will call, and if I can't use them, they'll give them to someone else.

the government ?
think about it.. who stands the most to lose if sports gambling is legalized nationwide ?
1. Vegas - aka the mob.
2. Neighborhood bookies - aka the mob.
3. offshore market - aka - mob related.
why would you want legal nationwide ?
i can see adding a few more places but not fully
every time you win 600 bucks the IRS is on you ?

I have an account, but have not funded it. I've been playing around for a few dollars on FanDuel for baseball to experiment with DFS.

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.
