KD in CA Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Lottery's fund education, so it's for the children.... Apparently they aren't doing enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal Man Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 this is what always gets me. State lotterys, scratch offs are legal, not a game of strategy. Online gambling, Poker, Fantasy sports, frowned at..... None of the gambling laws seem to make a lot of sense to anyone thinking logically. Better lobbyists is the only thing that makes any sense to me. I thought I read somewhere that ESPN was an investor in Draft Kings too but I couldn't find a link quickly.

bbb Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 I saw the segment on Real Sports. No thank you to this crap - you're going against pros basically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Barbarian Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 yes, very annoying. But just goes to show what a brilliant idea it was, they have tons of cash for advertising, so I have to give them that... that's because SOOOOOOO many people lose their money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maury Ballstein Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 I saw the segment on Real Sports. No thank you to this crap - you're going against pros basically. Pro fantasy players ? Are they as unbeatable as pro poker players ? Meh. Just another "pro" with a gambling problem. Not buying the "pro" angle. Any shmo can study the numbers.

Not buying the "pro" angle. Any shmo can study the numbers. I noticed last night while checking the scores that on top of each leaderboard was a ".com" username. Usually had something to do with "Draft" in the name. Seemed very odd to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbb Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 (edited) Exactly. These guys they were showing - it was baseball they were playing - poured over the numbers all day, factored in things I never even thought about, etc. And, then were making 6 figures a year doing it. Good luck playing them. Edited September 12, 2015 by bbb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beef Jerky Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 (edited) Draftkings. I haven't had to deposit money in over a year. Thing is I don't do it to make money, just for some fun. Edited September 12, 2015 by Beef Jerky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck playing them. Similar to online poker I would think. If you want to stick to the $5 and under games you can probably keep breaking even or make a tiny bit since everyone is basically treating it like fantasy football. In the expensive games you're going to run into people who are doing it for a living. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maury Ballstein Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Sounds like Ryan kicked the pro pokers players' butts, too Turned 20.00 into 12,000 online fwiw. I'd dissect your home game with ease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbb Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I've got no home game. I don't even know what a home game is. But, if you turned 20 into 12K, you should be figuring out how to put your skills to work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
