PBS's "Frontline" 10 pm Eastern goes in depth into fantasy sports and online gamling
The New York Times gave a little preview on what's to come.
One of the many angles they explore is how one 1 reporter set up an account with BetOnline using a legitimate credit card with a phoney transaction to circumvent US law.
I hope this thing blows over without too much noise.
PS - Forgive the typo in the title

Wow. BetOnline really looks bad in this show. They flat out claim that they were told how to get around the system with the help of BetOnline reps.
They also spend about 15 minutes following Pinnacle.
Anything of real meat in this thing?
not that good
everything old news
interesting stuff...thanks for sharing
If it doesn't mention SBR I'm not watching.
It was pretty good, although most of the show was more about the daily fantasy instead of about sportsbetting. JJ is right though this seemed out of date a bit as they didn't have much about say bitcoin, how that has changed things. But still was a pretty interesting watch.
It wasn't great, wasn't horrible. Just another way to paint gambling in a bad light.
A lot of it was discussing whether fantasy sports is gambling or not. And the loophole that was created in 2006 which has kept it from being shut down, for now anyway.
Did you see the runner in NYC called Mr Gold?
It makes me laugh when people can look at the camera and say fantasy sports isn't gambling with a straight face
It's an interesting argument.
When you take into account mostly it's the same people winning all the time, that kind of supports the skill argument.
You could say the same thing about sportsbetting. At the end of the day it's the same thing to bet on if you are going to pick the right players that night or on the Knicks to cover, it's still betting money to win money.
Embarrassing.
it makes me laugh that as a society the stock market or investing into something that you cant control isnt called gambling though.

I have to say the people of Curacao are amazing. Jurrjens, Andre Simmons, Profar would be good friends to have because I don't think they would ever flip on ya.

The stock market isn't gambling. Investing does take skill. Creating a balanced portfolio takes skill.
I hear they owe a player for like 6 moths
Both investing and gambling takes skill if you wanna be successful. In both cases investors and gamblers look for an edge in order to help enhance their performance. The key difference between investing and gambling though is that stock investors and/or traders have a variety of options to prevent total loss of risked capital. Another difference between investing and gambling is the availability of information. That's why I always say that investing in Bitcoins is pretty similar to gambling. The BTC price bounces back and forth 10-15% for no reason and no one knows wtf is happening.
I could say the same thing about the sports markets and point out many more similarities between sports investing and equities, bonds, currencies, etc.
Sometimes, in stocks, you don't know if you made a winning bet for months, or longer. In sports, you usually know within a few hours.
very true....you can always try to scalp the fukk out of forex on single session momentum- then you'll know within seconds/minutes if you won or notSometimes, in stocks, you don't know if you made a winning bet for months, or longer. In sports, you usually know within a few hours.
I'm watching this on comcast cable on demand.
If that's skill then sports betting and fantasy sports are skill too.
Futures bets take monthsSometimes, in stocks, you don't know if you made a winning bet for months, or longer. In sports, you usually know within a few hours.
Of course, but that is seldom a good way to trade.
This documentary probably influenced ESPN to stop making deals with Draftkings.
