I have an account and its better than fantasy football you play for the year IMO, each week you choose a new team...I love it

57 mil profit? Thats awesome, sure wish I would have thought of it myself

they take 10% just like a bookie does

The bookie takes a little less than 5% usually, they take 8-12% depending on the game but 10 being the avg

I've been playing it for a few months now. Think it's really difficult.


I think you could say..... it is just like a "slot machine" for sports gamblers. More like.... for people who don't feel knowledgeable to bet sports...... any granny who reads the paper can pick a few names out of a list. Very huge market for this activity. Far bigger than for sports betting.


Part of me hates these guys because they're legal and sports betting isn't.. But the fact they are legal should help get sports legal in the next few years..


Not to totally disagree..... but when Uncle Sam sees how much dough he can make off a site like Fan Duel..... what's to stop the government from just saying..... the hell with sports betting...... we will avoid all the controversy.... and just push everybody over into this half-assed deal and skin them that way.

Sports betting is a far more passive activity than DFS and thus a lot more people could do it if it was legal.

At any rate..... what's the over/under on how many years until the government makes any move towards sports betting?

What's the over/under on years on approval for offshore sportsbooks?

Appreciate your opinion. I am sticking to my opinion about Fan Duel being more like a slot machine. And..... even if more people feel comfortable betting sports....... there won't be any legal sports betting in the lifetime of most everyone on this site...... and people will willingly move over like sheep to betting on Fan Duel or like sites.

Just mean it is easier for someone to click 3 mouses and bet a game and over time not do awful unless they are a huge degen.

That is why there are 2 fantasy major fantasy sites and tons of casinos, sportsbooks, bookies all around the world.

It is a more passive and casual activity, thus more people can do it.

wish people were smarter to not play this dumb shit. It is a fad in my opinion and will vanish eventually.

If sports gambling gets legalized in the US how much will this hurt Fan Duel & Draft Kings?

What's dumb about it?

Plenty of money to be made if you know anything about stats. No where near a fad and it's not going
anywhere unless made illegal.

time= money. and the time consumed on daily fantasy leagues are not worth the small return in daily cash in my opinion. I not only do not like it, but it is a scam. I played everyday for a week and got tired of winning $16 when it told me I was projected to win $40. Not worth the time and if you miss on one player who blows up then you lose that day. They advertise it like a get rich quick scheme to try to get you locked in. The only REAL winners here is fanduel. They try to get you locked in because they make a rake like poker off of EVERY lineup submitted. lol

NFL is the main driver of growth and that isn't that time consuming.

:facepalm:
Ive been playing ff for 20 years it's not a fad


Face palm yourself. Nobody said fantasy football. That is way more legit.

Does fanduel decide your payouts in your fantasy football league?

Fanduel is way different than a fantasy football league
