    All of the advertising ploy it's a suckers game

    And people win the million dollar lottery all the time

    There's always a big winner when you have a large sample size

    Some hamburger took a shot on a tournament and binked it.

    Fantasy sports becoming too saturated. It's much worse than poker. Use to be that not many people had access to inside information or you had to work to get it. Now it's everywhere and you can even get it texted to you so Joe Schmo has leveled the playing field against pros. Difficult to get an edge now. Grinding $50 to 300k or whatever they claim over the course of a season would be a tall task.

    I feel like if you have the time and are math minded

    I think there is a huge opportunity to backtrack and come up with some great models and make money easier than in sports gambling

    and a think a huge huge portion of the people that are funding these sites and that you will or are playing against are EXTREMELY SQUARE

    the squarest of the square....

    so I would recommend doing the 50/50 type contests and not trying to take down a top placing in a contest with 3,000


    i spend 1 min making a lineup, kinda like filling out a lineup

    its great for fun and instant fantasy action, which is a different kind of action than pure sports gambling....

    if laws don't crack down on these fantasy sites, it is going to be a HUGH HUGH industry
