$10? They have 20k double ups. You really sound ignorant,

[daneblazer]

Legalizing what was legal just a few months ago but now just taxing it more

[jjgold]

I would never waste my time playing that random stuff but if you like it God bless you

[Jrod124]

Good to hear, now it would be nice to get some legalization on poker in the U.S.

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

real men bet spreads and underdogs.

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

"The bill also requires operators to pay a 15% tax on gross revenue made from interactive sports contests in NY, which will go to the state lottery fund for education."

Unreal.

Good luck with that.

Will fantasy sports fade over time?

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

[darrell74]

I'm still against it

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.

A great pocket drainer

Zero skill

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

So Draft Kings and Fan Duel headquarters are both located in NY?

[Auto Donk]

decided it was better to make some money off the shit themselves than to shut it down.....

let the sin begin!!!

[jjgold]

Fuk fantasy

Failed bettors

[BarkingToad]

Vice World of Sports episode said 91% of profits in fantasy are won by only 1.3% of the players.

[shaunovery]

Good for New Yorkers

Able to bet sports and fantasy

[rkelly110]

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.
