LINK

Can't copy and paste for a quote. But basically they are using information gathered on their site to place bets within the rival site. The guy who fessed up to it won $350k the week before.

Last week, a DraftKings employee admitted to inadvertently releasing data before the start of the third week of N.F.L. games, a move akin to insider trading in the stock market. The employee — a midlevel content manager — won $350,000 at rival site FanDuel that same week

That's interesting. How is daily fantasy governed? Not like there's a NGCB for this stuff

This

To go a whole day, especially a Saturday or Sunday without seeing a single commercial from either site would be a blessing

I'm so fricking tired of these beta sites. Gamble your money like a real man instead of playing the "penny slots" version of fantasy bullshite like grandma dropping nickels into the slot machine.

the funny thing is that a large number of sports fans and gamblers would probably use those sites but their marketing has pissed so many people off

the homeless people you see at the corner bodega buying scratch off tickets are akin to fan duel players IMO.

how is that info useful though? he played in the other site using data that showed which players were picked up the most? I don't understand how that gives you an advantage since it doesn't affect how the players play. all it is is playing match ups mixed with a lot of luck.

Im sorry. But that isnt the same as insider trading. The players still had to go out and perform, it wasnt guaranteed. The only real info he could get was which players werent being picked much

only when you win.

you have people who play it for a living and play hundreds of lineups in those big tournaments.

they'll win the most money.

hopefully something bad will happen to them all!
