I am curious, who on here is using either DraftKings or FanDuel? Whether you are or not, what is your opinion of them being 'Gambling' sites? If you think they are gambling sites, do you think they should be outlawed? Explain why or why not. If you have been using them, have you won or lost money? If so, how much have you lost/won? Have you heard of the "insider information" controversy involving these websites? If so, what is your opinion about that? Fantasy football is something that I was interested in, but never tried. These websites make it very easy to get involved in Fantasy Football. They also make it interesting since it is Week-to-Week and not a year long involvement.
C'mon fry, you know what he's talking about here is much different from that thread which is basically people just discussing the lineups they are using
The entire last page of that thread is talking about what this thread is trying to start up. Bad thread. 0/10.
I think all online gambling should be legal, so yes I think fanduel and draft kings should be legal. My guess is both will be illegal by next season. I see very little difference between betting 25 on a game or a fanduel 50/50 league. I put 200 in fanduel a year ago. Last year I played a variety of their games and ended season with $150. This year I've only played $25 entry tournaments with the highest payout, 1 per week. At $135 with and entry for this week. I'll be interested how this effects pay fantasy leagues like yahoo sponsored leagues where they keep 10% of total entry fee. I'll be very disappointed if they get caught in the crossfire.
Thank you for being forthwith Alex. I concur with you, I believe that Draftkings/Fanduel and their ilk will be, at least, outlawed in many more states, if not outlawed federally. My question is, how is the "Lottery" legal, when skill games like Poker and Fantasy Sports are illegal or soon will be (Depending on the state or federal decisions). Most would say the lottery is just a Tax on the Poor. Poor people spend money they don't have hoping to get rich on a completely "random" chance to hit it big, so they become even more impoverished. Whereas, betting on something like Poker or Horses or Fantasy Football requires some skill and knowledge. It is an interesting debate.
