There is a Fandual or Draft Kings commercial litterally every single commercial break.

Until people who wager or want to wager on games in whatever state they live complain to the Feds that Fantasy wagering is the same thing it will continue. People who want to wager on sides and totals on sports are being discriminated against while Fan Duel and Draft Kings cut deals with professional sports leagues. They are making money hand over fist while offshore and street bookies get arrested if they are in the United States. This pisses me off to no end. Bombarded non-stop on radio, TV and print ads by Fan Duel and Draft Kings. Some states have seen through the hypocrisy and ban fantasy wagering in their state. I'm not against Fantasy wagering even though I'm sick of their ads. I'm just pissed how they are permitted to exist while people who want to bet on games are not given the same right unless they live in Nevada.

Yep you got it right man, fucking hypocrites

Are the commercials reenactments from the actual winners?

 

[KingofNicotine]

Is this shit worth trying? It's peaked my interest and I'll deposit $20. Is it too late to join this week's fantasy?

Nope - you can enter up until game time. They also offer tournies/cash games only using 4 oclock games - its almost never too late to enter

If I don't know where the remote is I will turn my tv off to avoid seeing and hearing those commercials.

You're Not Crazy, DraftKings Commercials Really Are on All the Time


The NFL kicks off its 2015 season in Foxboro, but local sports startup powerhouse DraftKings is already in midseason form. Having spent heavily through the entirety of 2015 on television advertising, the Boston-based daily fantasy company hit uncharted territory just in time for professional football's curtain raiser in New England.

According to iSpot.tv's rankings of estimated spending, DraftKings dropped more on television advertising in the past week than anyone else in the United States. Not even cellphone giant AT&T could match the staggering sum dolled out by a company founded in 2012.
That in itself reveals just how steep an incline that DraftKings has grown even in the last year alone. After securing numerous team and league sponsorships, the latest strategy has been direct: spend, spend, spend on TV ads.
The top five spenders from iSpot's rankings:

1. DraftKings. Estimated total spending: $22,535,747, National airings: 6,053
2. AT&T. Estimated total spending: $22,501,228, National airings: 3,966
3. Warner Bros. Estimated total spending: $15,287,284, National airings: 2,784
4. Geico. Estimated total spending: $12,789,988, National airings: 4,393
5. Universal Pictures. Estimated total spending: $9,714,384, National airings: 2,318

And beyond the spending, DraftKings' total airings have occupied the top spot by an even wider margin.
Viewers have collectively seen 1,660 more DraftKings' ads than the second most prolific advertiser (Geico). That number by itself outstrips those on iSpot's list who occupy spots six, seven and eight (U.S. Army, Twentieth Century Fox and Nissan, respectively).
The commercial blitz comes at what is clearly an optimal time for DraftKings. Week one of the NFL season promises to be a massive time for a daily fantasy company, given that it will mark the debut of the company's new (and bigger) Millionaire Maker competition.

This is remarkable. I knew they were on a lot, but damn, outspending ATT?

DraftKings has their own channel now on DirecTV.

I had to LOL when I was flipping around and saw it this morning.

How many halloween parties will be attended by "backwards lid" sporting douchebags carrying giant cardboard draft kings checks?

And this is what is looks like when you don't win a million dollars with Draft Kings.

 

[bukis1]

I'm confused about all these commercials are showing people winning a million dollars. Is that true? Do you have to enter a $500 league to win this much? I have a friend who joined a $ 1 league and won $2.63 lol

 

[Vlad the Impaler]

I just signed up for a fan duel Sunday/ Monday night game type of fantasy thing. So between 4 teams, and there are about 75K people in this. I would think so many people will have identical line-ups. Entry fee was $5. 1st place pays 50K. I forget I had some $$ there so why not. I'll take a shot. Pays all the way up to 1,000th place I think. Only Colt I have is Dwayne Allen and the Colts D

Best I have ever done was finish 14th out of 300.

I believe they have $25 tournament each week where 1st pays 1 million and of course other prizes below.. so it is a pretty small investment for the shot each week.

You have The Greatest Avatar in the History Of The World.

I most like it when that one guy said...in response to some input you'd given on The Market:

"I don't know that I wanna take Stock advice from a guy carrying a 30 Pack of Keystone."
