The rake and venture capitalists are paying for these stupid ads and when the money dries up, players will get fleeced to reimburse investors.

#88If this stuff is being allowed poker should be too.
a huge amount of time has to be put into dfs to be successful long term.
The commercials don't show the grinder putting in 2500 teams and 16 hours a day winning. Nor do they include the guy putting in $20 to play and just wants to have fun but only runs across these grinders who use algorithms and advanced programs to wipe him clean. They show Johnny Hamburger who cashed out a lotto ticket in a tournamentComment -

#89you guys are the biggest whiners. Who cares let it do what its doing, all it can do is help pave the wave for poker or sports betting. If it crashes oh well. Just ride the wave and get out at the right timeComment -

#91well, it is not a raffle mainly because raffles a PURE luck. Weekly fantasy actually takes skill to win.
Like I said, regular season long fantasy leagues are raffle because you're drafting before week 1 and can't read the future. With weeklies you have no excuse not to excel other than poor handicapping.
And yes, more than the top 5 generally get paid unless you do smaller contest. But for the majority of the big contest, like this weekends, it was top 125700 out of 520k; last place got $25 for $20 entry. If you can't cash in that, the honest truth is you're not very good at handicapping either unless you just solely follow line movement and don't even watch the games like I do in MLB. If someone even pretends they know football and can't cash on these fantasy leagues, they have shown their hand.
It is really no different than anything else, when people lose they must find an excuse instead of being critical on why they are losing. Much easier to say "its a scam, I'm done there."

#93They categorize it as a game of "skill" on their website rather than "chance". Since it's a game of skill it's not considered gambling.
It cracks me up that other entrepreneurs have thought of this idea... and clearly washed it away because it is gambling. But, this DK owner is still living it up.
You guys need to consider the TRUE OVERHEAD of his business operation. Think about it! This has to be the lowest overhead and highest revenue idea ever. Clearly there's no brains making this business.Comment -

#95I think the legalization of fantasy was just to fuk with the bookies. Give the degen public a legit way to squander away a little cash and legal betting can be kept off limits forever.Comment -

#96Yes it's a money printing operation. Unlike a bookie they take no risk on the games. Never sweat the MNF over under, just skim that rake and repeat.Comment -

2. People don't necessarily play these to win money. Many play to make the games they watch more exciting and to talk trash with their friends/co-workers.

again, anyone who can't cash is showing their hand on their real capping skills which obviously are not very good unless you just follow line movement. For the rest who pretend they know football, they don't. Just reality people, look in a mirror instead of blaming someone else for once. If you can't cash, that means you are not skilled at what you're doing. You are the same people I would dominate year after year in fantasy leagues with no add/drop limits and then come up with a bunch of excuses why you lost; year after year.
Now everyone go ahead proceed with their excuses like children lolComment -

#101DK has 50/50 tournaments with buys in up to $5300. No multi entry worries in said 50/50 and even head up games. Only worry fantasy sports has right now is that ahole (D) Frank Pallone is requesting a hearing on fantasy sports. With MLB and the NFL backing these sites he is fighting a losing battle. And with that he lost his reelection bid because everyone is playing daily fantasy now.Comment -
