There is a simple fix to preventing this from happening again. They should just show the percentage of entries every player is picked in to everybody when u are choosing ur team

Rule that they have to stop showing commercials and make everyone happy

can somebody explain how this is a scandal?
this is nothing like insider trading. this would be like if a guy working in finance at a big firm had access to a great algorithm of the firm and used that to invest on his own, finding great success.

I think people are just hoping for the downfall of both sites so they're grasping at straws.

that article sounded like an excuse to discuss lack of regulation over and over again more than anything

Exactly, you are up against people who do this basically as a full time job.

Anyone know whether it's possible to actually gamble on lines on these sites? I get the impression you can't, which is shite.
I'm not some big shot gambler, just want to be able to place a couple of dollars a week on a four or five team parlay.

well it's not a sports betting site, so no you can't.

go to 5dimes or bovada and knock yourself out

I mean it's an advantage knowing what players are being played the most heavily in these to differentiate your line up. It doesn't guarantee you anything but it's certainly an edge.
Scandal? Nah. Shady? Yes.

he played in the other site using data that showed which players were picked up the most?
I think it would basically be the opposite of that. He probably played with top players who were picked up the least, because to win real money, you have to hit on "sleepers" - people who are unpopular picks.

If you use the same players as everyone else then you have less chances to make up points.
If there are 6 roster spots and you share a QB with 75% of the other players you only have 5 spots to outscore those 75%. If you pick a different QB you have 6.
Also you can take a chance on a cheaper QB and spend more on other positions. It's definitely an advantage.

As stated earlier in this thread, it is shady as frick at best.

how?
these companies are in direct competition with each other and use publicly-available data (crunched via proprietary means)
