Improprieties on online gambling? wHo could of possible seen that coming. No shit. Like online poker. Lock robbed me of 3 grand bet online always has an excuse to delay delay delay and now it seems full flush is about to go belly up. The only legit one is Bovada but cashing their bullshit fucking checks are a pain in the ass. Western union max withdraw 800 i win that in one game sometimes. You need to do it the old fashioned way Bookie and or casino. friend in vegas |

OK, I actually forced myself to read that article and I still don't know what inside information these fantasy sites have.

So, MLB can own a stake in a gambling site, but Pete Rose can't be on the Hall of Fame? Seems about right.

From the NY Times article: "The episode has raised questions about who at daily fantasy companies has access to valuable data, such as which players a majority of the money is being bet on; how it is protected; and whether the industry can — or wants — to police itself." My guess is if you know what players are being used the most, you can stay away from them. I guess if you use he same players as everyone else, it's harder to win. |

So this is gambling, pure and simple. |

Fatty Francesser was all over this today...its not regulated as a paramutual betting operation, as it should be, and there is no oversight ensuring the legitimacy of the computerized betting, meaning, there could be tons of inside people who can manipulate the betting dead-lines, etc. no one is watching... |

Was only a matter of time. And the leagues have gotten into bed with these companies. BUT these same leagues (MLB for sure) forbid the players from participating. Whatta buncha hypocrites. |

I invested $10 dollars and won $3M.....BS. They owner of Fan Duel defended the kid who won the $300K on Fox Business the morning. He said he only gained access to the insider information after he placed his bet and could not of used the information to gain an edge. I call BS on that, as there are continuing trends. For example, how many people take Brady, Manning or Russell Wilson on a constant weekly basis. The kid has access to this from past weeks and structured his picks based on this. Personally, I don't have a problem with gambling sites but know what you're getting into. They're not thriving because they are paying out big bucks to people.

If it walks like a duck, sounds like a duck and looks like a duck......... - Did you know Fan Duel and Draft Kings spend 500 Million in advertising this year? I hope they lose their asses. |

I can't agree with most of what has been written here. I understand that this might be a sensitive issue to some people but I think that DFS are as close to gambling as is, for example, securities trading on the financial markets. It is a ridiculous notion that FanDuel and Draft Kings would simply be allowed to perish. I believe they have simply reached a too big to fail status. And, as you all may know, the professional teams and also the leagues have stakes in these companies, not to mention that there are numerous other websites, like fantasysportsdaily.com, dailylineups.com and many others, whose services revolve around the industry, that also attract revenue and create jobs. |
