Just saw this on the news feed:  DraftKings and FanDuel were just shut down in Nevada:

"Nevada regulators ordered daily fantasy sports sites like DraftKings and FanDuel to shut down Thursday, saying they can't operate in the state without a gambling license. The decision comes amid growing backlash by investigators and regulators over the sites, which have grown in popularity in the past year."

This this daily fantasy industry grew to a billion dollar industry seemingly over night. That's why you see so many ads. They have cash they can throw around. Soooo many people buy into these things and lose all their money. Only a saw percentage of people get the big payouts. 

All that money so quickly. Of course people are going to be poking around

Those daily fantasy sites can be a scam if you do the big payouts. I've had some pretty stellar lineups and haven't made it into the top 50% when I'm in the lottery style setups with 250K people. 

But when I play the games with ~500 people and a $10 buy in I always seem to win $20-$75. I read an article about whales that put up $30K a week in entry fees and use crazy algorithms to screw the common man. 

Bottom line? If your gonna use daily fantasy sites, do a few hundred players and below in your games otherwise it's a sucker bet.

Corrected your grammar and highlighted what is the main point. Because DFS companies take 10 percent of your winnings off the top, you better have an algorithm if you're going to make money over time. Most are suckers

Yeah,  recall a blowup about one of those sites having it set up so that you couldn't see other players' lineups untill after the game. Shady poo.

That doesn't really mean much at this point.  Of course Nevada would shut down an online gambling site to protect their own interests (the casinos).  Until bigger states follow (there are already a few small states that ban DFS), or the federal government steps in, these websites aren't going anywhere.  If the government finds them to be gambling websites, then there will be years of lawsuits.  So best case scenario, it will be a few more seasons of this thrown in our faces every commercial break.

I know you can't use fan duel in Arizona. You're right. Too much money at stake for it to disappear over night.

    • I respect his enthusiasm. Time will tell if it's warrented. 
    • Oh I went off and fully entertained my wife last night as my emails go to her phone as well because of my health. So she got the whole conversation as it happened.    Like I went to games in Detroit for the cup finals, I've been to games in Greensboro, Raleigh, and Chicago as well. My mom and her nurse friend double dated one of the players from when the team was in Greensboro. "He's still with the team in some compacity as well." I know people who work for the team at the arena as well. How the hell would I not be considered a fan. Only reason I haven't gone to a game since 2022 is because of my health and money situation. Last game I went to was at United Center in Chicago and me and my wife spent around 1k for glass seats and some food at the arena and we were next to the penalty box. The pictures of the hurricane players I took are lost because my phone crapped out a few weeks later. 
    • The Falcons win was a fantastic way to end the season and I think just about every Panthers fan would agree the team the coaching staff and particularly Bryce Young were impressive. We really needed that. Credit where it's due. At the same time. Now we have to establish it wasn't just a flash in the pan. We had one of those earlier in the season against the Raiders. As a tortured Panthers fan I have to acknowledge that. I know you're joking but in all seriousness I don't think the QB sneak is something for us to be concerned about in general but I would be lying to myself if I did not acknowledge that looking back at one particular game last season where we continually trotted out Eddie Pinero on 4th and short on the opponents side of the field we could use some creativity in those situations and it's also a matter of predictability. As time goes on it's something for Canales to work on and figure out. Especially with our kicker situation as it stands.
