darell1976 Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 I didn't know where to put this topic, so I stuck it here. Anyone do one or both of these sites? If so have you won it big like the commercial shows. I play Draft Kings and have only won a few bucks on a contest no hundreds or thousands of dollars. Quote
Hayduke Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 Can't believe the gov't hasn't stepped in to totally shut these sites down. Quote
darell1976 Posted October 20, 2015 Author Posted October 20, 2015 Yeah invest $35 win 2 million Until you read the small print on the bottom of the screen that says the average winnings is like 22 bucks. Quote
darell1976 Posted October 20, 2015 Author Posted October 20, 2015 Can't believe the gov't hasn't stepped in to totally shut these sites down. Its not sports betting by definition of federal law. Federal law states its illegal to bet on teams (outside of Vegas), but these sites you are not betting on the team you are betting on the players. Thats how its legal...for now. Quote
Hayduke Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 I heard that. Interesting loophole that will be closed soon...imho... Quote
Cratter Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 Probably shut them down about as much as they do with all the other sports sites I can gamble from on my computer? Quote
darell1976 Posted October 20, 2015 Author Posted October 20, 2015 I heard that. Interesting loophole that will be closed soon...imho...It came out in that story about the Draft Kings employee who won like $300,000 on Fan Duel. They explained about the two sites, how much money they are raking in and that loophole. I put in 50 bucks about a month ago and have been playing every day with the winning i get until i strike it big (which will be the day after never). Quote

ScottM Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 Its not sports betting by definition of federal law. Federal law states its illegal to bet on teams (outside of Vegas), but these sites you are not betting on the team you are betting on the players. Thats how its legal...for now. And Nevada begs to differ and is requiring these sites to get a gaming license. There's as much "skill" involved in fantasy sports as there is playing the slots. Anyone who thinks otherwise is either lying or completely delusional. And the fact that the bigger sites are run by professional gamblers doesn't really help their cause, or pro sports' attempts to show how "clean" they are. Quote
UNDBIZ Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 IMO, they will eventually go the way of most of the online poker sites. Make sure you get your money back before they do. Quote
darell1976 Posted December 11, 2015 Author Posted December 11, 2015 Tonight's UND-NDSU game made Draftkings. They list Hooker as the top player salary from the game. Pretty cool to see that. Quote
