DraftKings Clears Employee, is the Decision on the Up & Up?

[SBR Natalie]

What are your thoughts about DraftKings clearing the employee accused of insider trading? Can we trust that this decision is genuine?

[daneblazer]

No.

[Optional]

They did say almost immediately that this guy didnt get the data until 40 mins after rosters locked.

I kind of believe that.

But I'm not convinced that a bunch of employees of both sites have not been screwing the players on the other one... and it sounds like with full knowledge of both companies from the way they could so quickly say how may employees played and how much was won.

If it was my business I would be making sure no one outside 1 or 2 key people can ever access data early in future though. So think they would have done that now.

[Robber]

I don't think they should be playing on other sites but this leak was overblown

[DrunkHorseplayer]

Read the article about this guy on 538.com; they listed his results for an entire month and there's no way he's that good without some kind of inside info.

[mpaschal34]

don't trust these sites at all...glad i don't have any money there now, because i think the us government will be suspending their activities soon. i have no real information if this is true...just a gut feeling.

Link? I would like to see that article.

I'm just so tired of people stealing money from the average joe. Inside info on stocks, fantasy, stealing peoples 401 K on the next stock market crash.

[jjgold]

It doesn't matter the general public knows now you can only win $10 if you're very very lucky

[agendaman]

Very true, the thievery that's going on at DFS is peanuts to what goes on at Wallstreet. That's where the real crooks are.

[pavyracer]

That's like announcing the New England Patriots have cleared Tom Brady from any wrongdoing in Deflategate.

The troubles that DraftKings and FanDuel are having are directly their own fault. When you advertise every 15 minutes on TV and radio about how much money you are reaping in and giving away, then show that are spending millions more a day with marketing, it is basically saying to the government....... please come take some of our money -- we just have too much. Plus the government will want to know just who is getting rich, and who is paying all of their taxes on the cash. Then you get the states who see money going out of the residents hands into companies who are paying no taxes whatsoever to them, and well...... goodnight Irene.

The fantasy contests are legal. No doubt in my mind that the UIEGA law allows it. But the companies showed their hand, and this fiasco gave everyone the excuse to see just how much money is out there.

I expect most of the states to shut them down, regardless of legality, until they pay up to the states.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

[Auto Donk]

shit, i better request my remaining 80 bucks asap....

and as far as what I expect..... the same as always: some good fellatio

[agendaman]

any states with casinos do not want DFS around now I have my money at paypal just play DFS freerolls and $0.25 entry contests lotta people have jobs in the DFS industry what a joke draftkings cleared their own employee of wrongdoing

agree with this guy

[El Nino]

Zero chance it's on the up & up. Guys are sharks.

[Kermit]

I like to play head to head against other players or against maybe 10 to 20 players in double ups where the top half double up.

This way you see what they have and they see what you have. There is money to be made on those sites. Yeah, not everyone is going to win $726,084, but you can still win money if you have some knowledge. Last week on DraftKings, Chris Ivory was cheap(like $4,500) why everyone didn't have him in their lineup at that price boggles my mind.

[TheSchafe]

This will end up being the Napster of sports gambling.

If you’ve been in the game 30 minutes and you don’t know who the patsy is, you’re the patsy.

[Kermit]

If you're in a room and can't pick out the fool, you're the fool

I was shocked at how many people(5 out of 20) had Colin Kaepernick as their QB in their lineup in the double up contest I played in this week.

Unrealllllll

I can't understand the love for that guy, he's terrible. He's been terrible. He's going to continue to be even more terrible now that he doesn't have Harbaugh, Gore or a solid line.

[Cross]

They need to get fan duel cash in the SBR store again!

That is the thing about Draftkings, anyone with football knowledge should win something every week if not break even.

I only play one of those $3 or $20 contests every week to win a million+, but some people have dozens of entries(this is where they get you). Even if you finish in the top 75,000(or something like that in the big contests) you at least win your money back. I much prefer to play heads up or double ups, and some times multipliers. When you are only playing against a small amount of players and you know who people have, you can't get fukked over. It is impossible to try and keep track of 400,000 other line-ups.

So you never play in the pools with multi entries?

[Kermit]

Maybe 2 at the most. I usually do a $3 and $20 every week for the big payout.

I much prefer to do head to head or the double up contests for $100.
