      FanDuel has finally separated West Virginia from Virginia today! If either of these teams are in the final 4 will cost them money since no bets can be taken from that state.. Idea: They won't be!

There also is just not that much money to be made in sports gambling so it is just easier to buy something so you can say you have it.
        Agreed. If somebody comes out with better lines instead of blowing that money on advertising many would move over without them needing to advertise. Then they can grow by word of mouth. Basically the pinnacle/aldi model. Keep it simple. It’s money. For every $1 spent on advertising is a $1 less that can be in the players pocket. The longer gambling in US the smarter the gamers get. Most of the ones lured by shiny lights will be broke in a couple of years anyway.

                  And their CEO Matt King said it was worth every cent to see the racist anti-freedom-of-choice cancel culture snowflakes scream they would not play there.

                      They are proving much better than I ever expected for NASCAR this year.

                      Post race markets first on Mondays. 25% vig, which is as good as even offshores, apart from 5Dimes who is still under 20%.

                              Maybe JJ Gold should take over Draft Kings Ads since he is the expert on Advertising

                              An "Armchair Advertising Manager"...


                              just what we need....


                              I am sure Draftkings will be contacting JJ Gold to help them out....

                                  If these numbers are 100% true the advertising dollars are ridiculously excessive. You could cut the advertising to 50% less... most people who gamble tell their friends.... it's like anything.... you're shooting the sh#$ at a bar or party.... and say... Hey! Who do you use??

                                  It's wasted money on DraftKings part. Go with word of mouth.... if you're a degenerate gambler... you're just going to gamble. Hard to convince someone who's conservative... to.... start gambling.

                                        location of casino that FD and DK are affilated with has big impact on advertising too. They have to blast out the marketing esp in Chicago area market since they are based at southern Illinois and have to rely on online registration ect....Its huge business and the cost of gaining a customer now vs in 5 years when things are established is actually much lower now. As far as the lines/juice 95% of people do not care. Its the same at offshore where more people play at -110 shops then doing work to find the relaible -105's. Its all about convenience for most in all aspects of life. Most of the new(Non Offshore guys) DK sign ups have no interest in using offshore learning cryto ect. they just want recreational book with easy in and out funds and could care less if they are betting a -112 or -108

                                          Yes, and that's why it's also so good for sharp bettors. There's thousands of squares to make up for it, so they are willing to take it on the chin here and there to not alienate anybody.
