      This seems pretty interested but will be a daily grind like the rest of gambling

        i might try it out, but only if it will accept my ********** debit card. Kind of stunned on some of the selections though

          It worked for my **** debit card. Should be no problem.

                  Lost 64-38 today. Guy I was playing is ranked #2 on the whole site so I'm not surprised my rookie effort was awful.

                  I will return with a victory tomorrow.

                    I have won thousands of money playing daily fantasy sports over the past 4 months, salary cap games are where a savvy player has an advantage. Also, fanduel is not the best site to play, draftzone is way better, they have drafts and salary cap games, web site is better, payouts are faster, etc. This industry will explode soon once people find about it. If you dont want to play at -125, just sign up as an affiliate, and have a friend sign up through your affiliate code, play under the friends name and that way the affiliate money, usually 25% in most places will cut the vig down into the -117 range. PM me if any of you are interested in cutting down your vig and making some money.

                        Site is getting better now they have 5 and 10 man groups. So you can get +350 to beat 4 guys or +800 to beat 9 seems like that is easier to win money.

                        Should be about even or so after day was down but two good days in a row.

                                    Salary cap. The site is pretty good; easy to use and easy to match up with a random opponent... If you don't have a friend in mind, you can have it automatically match you up with another player.

                                          Fishhead-

                                          I would be happy to give you my stats for my play over the past 5 months and give you updated payout information, just not interested in posting it on a public forum, but I have won 5 figures playing daily fantasy sports the last 5 months and I think NFL is even more fertile ground that basketball and baseball.

                                              you can play pretty high stakes at fanduel just got to do a lot of matchups, I got up over $350 in my account but lost in fast because I put over $100 on the same lineup couple days in a row. But maybe draftzone is better in terms of lack of commision will check it out.

                                                        Is there a reason why this forum removes posts that mention fantasyfactor.com? I noticed my message got removed and anyone who replied to it was also removed. I think they have a great site...one of my favorite places to play.

                                                          That's just what he won... his ROI could be negative - no way to know.

                                                          Eventually third party comes out with player tracking for fantasy sports players ala Official Poker Rankings (ttp://www.officialpokerrankings.com/).

                                                          That said, some big money is being tossed around. If this thing takes off fantasy sports will have mini celebs just like poker.

                                                                    Any forms to fill out?
