Draft Kings/Fanduel Scandal

[Habib]

I love how sanctimonious the NCAA gets when they aren't getting a cut.

So I logged into fanduel tonight and received a message, there will now be a limit to 500 entries to $10 and less games for football. Does that mean there are people submitting 500 and more entries to games. That is crazy.

There are dudes out there making a living off fantasy sports.

 

This is the reason I don't play many multiple entry games.

So I'm guessing this will be treated like gambling? Each state will eventually decide if they allow it to take place? Kind of like Nevada and other states having casinos? How does this differ from online poker which was banned federally?

From what I can understand sports gambling is outlawed federally outside of about four or five states. I assume this will get more interesting if federal courts get involved.

That's how I understand it. Could get very interesting consider FD/DK has big money behind it now. Could this be what leads to the legalization of gambling everywhere?

It's like Poker Stars all over again....booooooooooooooo!!!!!

It is, BUT they didn't have the backing of the MLB, NBA, and NFL.

I don't think Congress can agree that the sun is bright, let alone on something controversial. :lol2:

 

But, I think the way the leagues have embraced daily fantasy like they have could dent their armor when it comes to opposing legalized gambling. It's made gambling appear much more mainstream than it has in the past.

 

Probably the best that could ever be hoped for is that the federal law is re-written to allow each state to decide. And Kentucky would probably state A1 to ban it. :lol2:

So we will be able to gamble in KY in 2400.
