    The lottery only pays out 50% of what it takes in and daily fantasy pays out 90% of what it takes in. I like betting the game but it's also fun picking nine players and not having your whole fvcking bet be decided by a late fumble, bad call or some other nonsense.

    what about some idiot getting tackled at the 1 and not getting the TD? What about a player getting hurt and your entire team being screwed? Fantasy has exact same risks

    If it happens to all 9 players you start, maybe God didn't want you to win that week. I personally like the idea of doing some research, picking 9 players, paying $25 and having a chance to win $100,000, or just $50 if I finish in the top 20%. If you pick 9 good ones, it ain't gonna matter if the last player bombs, fumbles or gets hurt, you will win some money. If all 9 of your players have a great week, you will win a lot of money.

    In the tourney today my 9 players had 118.86 points and I finished 5,297 out of 80,459. Only won $60 on a $25 entry but at least I was sitting there in the second half of the last game knowing if Joique Bell and Terrence Williams went off I could win some real money. First place won $175K and only had 149.66 points. It's cheap action with a chance to win a lot more than your bet.

    JJ thinks "your" and "you're" mean the same thing, too.

    Based on what I've seen of your veterans, you need rookies. A lot of them. If this board was an NFL team it would be the Jacksonville Jaguars.
