I agree it's not skill, however those guys are still considered sharks because of their high bank roll and skill in knowing which GPP or Cash they have the best odds of winning. It's one of the reasons why I don't like to play a $1/$2 50/50. Because when a team has $100 in one of those contests if you only have 1 or 2 lineups, if you are off a point you can end up losing.
    How do you like FD NBA, compared to DK? Also, are the point structures the same in FD and DK for NBA? That's one reason why I didn't like FD, because of the .5ppr in NFL.
    I've never thought about that in 50/50s. That's a good point. I think I have an advantage over almost any h2h lineup to be honest. So I crush those. No "shark" is gonna consistently pick a better nba lineup than me based on their stats and algorithms when i am using my knowledge of the game and matchups. i'll lose like 2 out of every 10.

    I've never tried DraftKings for NBA, I tried it once for the 5 million dollar NFL tourney and did not like it. I don't like 1 point ppr bro. I think that's amateurish. Suddenly guys like Danny Woodhead are more valuable than like a Doug Martin or something. I never play fantasy like that. But in my real fan leagues I play that DraftKings style. 3 wrs 2 rbs and a flex. I think that's great. 1 point for every reception is way too much. It actually creates a lot more luck. Some scrub could have 7 8 catches that never played a snap the previous game...that's huge.

    Yeah, I think the last play I made was on baseball back in June. I might get back into it a little bit when spring training rolls around but for now I've given up all other sports and the season long grind of MLB

    No, I have a full time job. I need longer success in DFS before I could consider giving up the security of a job.

    NHL is my best. NFL/MLB probably a tie at #2. I gave up NBA this year although I had some success last year. Too many injuries and lineup rotations to stay on top of for someone like me who doesnt watch the sport

    I won a couple thousand this spring in NBA for the playoffs. Money was in my DK account within an hour of contest ending, then I withdrew a portion of it and had it in my PayPal account within 8 hours of the contest ending.

    Never once had any payout issues with either, it's extremely quick and easy. I have a very hard time believing this, judging by the "I will contact my political friends. Let them lose another state." I'll go out on a limb and assume you like to exaggerate mightily.

    You're doing it wrong then....

    They never have issues paying out. Get a paypal you fukk.
    You think they're worried about paying people out? This isn't a broke as sportsbook.

    "Contact my political friends and let them lose another state"... Oh, so you're in the business of putting tons of people out of work and hurting the entire professional sports industry? Because at this point, NFL, NBA, and MLB would take HUGE financial hits if these DFS sites were to be made illegal.

    More and more states looking to regulate. Which is much better than banning it.

    There's always going to be people trying to sue companies like this because they didn't win. They're the equivalent of someone who you beat in a game and the loser says you cheated because they can't face the reality that they aren't very good/you're better.

    Also, as for Snowball, if you didn't send verification then they shouldn't send you a dime. Would be way too easy to launder money through these sites if no verification was required. Get a PayPal, then you're verified through them so no issues with payouts. Get PayPal to send you a business debit card and then you can just use the money right away without having to wait for them to transfer it to a bank account.

    Requesting a check, unless it's for some absurd amount of money, is stupid and outdated with other options. You probably write a check at the grocery store, too, don't you?
