Yes. What's the difference between playing Fanduel and betting props at 5 dimes? One is legal and the other isn't. I have friends that play Fanduel.

Only thing I don't like is the juice is a bit rich. Seems like the site could make just as much $, if not more if they made fees lower. Also it is the beginning phases of the business so they should want to beat other sites on price I'd think.

-120 is a lot considering the site has no risk on who wins.

isnt the juice on props usually quite high anyway though? so yes the site makes a nice commission here for allowing two parties to meet, but they also offer up a fair and legal way for guys to bet against eachother kinda .. heh - of course the house plays middle as per normal

Still though, they are assuming no risk. I just think they could cut it to taking 5% of the rake instead of 10% and probably get more volume but until competition comes along that probably won't happen. If it is legal it is just a matter of time until someone kills them on price though I'd think.

In their info page on how it's legal , it's because fantasy sports is a game of mostly skill. None the less pretty cool site.

That is the joke though, it is mostly luck with some skill as opposed to poker and sports betting.

Not allowed where I live.
did it for awhile til I found out I could not do it anymore.
very easy to win big money if you cherry pick your opponents.
cant tell you how many times people buy baseball players that don't even play.
all you need is a reliable sorce for starting lineups to make sure everyone you buy plays.
if you do that you are already ahead of a lot of your competition.
i heard fezzick has made over 500k in less then a year on fan dual

Don't think that is remotely close to true about Fezz, he isn't even near the top of the leaderboard and I know 1 of the guys who is top 5 in NBA and he hasn't made anywhere close to that much $. If he made over 50k profit I'd be surprised. I've actually seen Fezz lineups, nothing special.

As far as cherry picking, I try to do that but it is hard. You gotta be so fast to click when bad people post games because so many people are ready to pounce. If you post a game then a good person is gonna scoop it up in about 5-10 seconds. I will say I think right now is the easiest time of year to play because all the football degens get bored and venture into NBA.

Just curious where you heard that about Fezz chop? I checked monh by month leaderboard and he usually isn't top 20. He is top 20 in wins because he plays for like $5-10 a game. Not sure why the real fezzik would bother with such low stakes.

I read that on one of these forums.
dont know if its true or not that's why I said I heard he won that much. I don't know first hand.

As far as my strategy I have not played in a long time so my advice could be obsolete

Yeah he is a relative small timer on there (I dont even believe its the real Fezzik actually now that I think of it) Only has like $5 games posted.
I'm finding some soft games right now cause the football people but the prices definitely seem more competitive in NBA this year than last.

just joined this shit for a couple hundred to see what the hype was all about

their customer service and live scoring is shit, but i like the concept. need kenny boynton to not go off tonight

Never had problems with their CS or live scoring. Only thing I hate is the juice and when Bradley Beal fucks me.

Des you into NBA at all? That is mostly what I use it for.
