Is everything to do with sports finished or will they come back one day?

CWD · 03-22-20, 11:19 PM

they print money with no real overhead im sure they will return

No way. As soon as the sports come back, they will be up and running... too much money to be made.

If they don't come back soon, there will soon be fantasy in simulated leagues, same as you can bet on em now. Draft your team then each week they have a regular sunday. You will be able to stream all games much like you can on fanduel mybookie and other books that supports it. It will be in all books soon in quite a few right now.

I did consulting work for a daily fantasy sports site. They certainly do not print money, in fact, they all lose tremendous amounts of money. Their end goal was always to use DFS as a path to sports betting legalization. Now they have no money coming in and lots of overhead.

Daily fantasy is surviving by offering huge contests on esports. Draftkings decided to offer contests with huge prize pools for the iracing that NASCAR has been putting on every weekend. The amazing thing is these contests are filling as if it were the real thing.

People might bet more and play more when sports come back

Wabashwonders · 04-05-20, 12:41 AM

FanDuel has a free horse racing game going on tomorrow for Gulfstream.

paulll · 04-06-20, 06:29 AM

Everybody just waits for the end of this horrible story, so definitely when sports come back, I might bet and play more

pologq · 04-06-20, 06:54 AM

i am def going to bet more just for missing it like a degen and i am proud of it

jjgold · 04-06-20, 07:21 AM

Hard to say

The Draftkings and Fandual are not profitable sports or fantasy right now and its been a while they have been offering these

No sports is not finished by a long shot.

The big two (DraftKings, and FanDuel) will survive just fine.
What they are doing now is real smart.
They're offering freerolls in NBA, MLB, and NFL as well as e-sports for small cash prizes.
Reason being (in my opinion) is to keep the current base interested.
Seems to be working by the number of entries I see in some of the events offered.
