New York bans Fanduel and Draftkings

Historically, NY dictates significantly to the rest of the country.  May take other states some time and some will remain in play for this season but this will be the end of daily fantasy for a bit.  

It's nice they are looking out for the people....now the people can spend more money in the NY lottery.  B/c that type of gambling is totally cool

Agree that it is total hypocrisy to have a state lottery and not allow draft kinds or fan duel. 

 

The lottery is the dumbest form of gambling for the dumbest people. At least fan duel and draft kings require some kind of knowledge to play. 

Due to my line of work I've seen some books involving contracts between New York state and gaming organizations.  Corruption would be an understatement here. What do you really expect when we have a society that believes heavy taxation is justified if aimed towards "bad habits"?

That's precisely the issue Mr Igo. The states aren't getting their cut in a multi-billion dollar industry.

They'll gladly make it legal again once their "taxes" are imposed under the "new" rules

No more non stop fanduel commericals? One can only hope.

I agree.  About every sport website, pregame show, etc. is now even is dedicated to one of them too.  CBS, yahoo, etc all have DFS advice.  Pre game they pick players on all the networks.  It is everywhere.  The fact it is getting so big plays against them IMO.  

This reply was sponsored by Draft Kings.  Be a winner today!

I think Draftkings and Fanduel make appeals to the people in fighting to keep their sites alive.  I wonder, do the people have that much power to overrule the government saying something is illegal?  How would that type of fight go about?

It is about money.  Powers that be won't care what the people say.  Once they figure out how to get in on some of the action...the people can have it

I guess the only other way would be to take it to court.  DFS sites would have to show a clear link to their games being one of skill vs gambling.  Of course that would be hard to show.

They don't help their cause with the fact they keep expanding what you can get in on.  Now you can do MMA, golf, and the over/under for Panther United threads in a week

    • I mean, I hear what y'all are saying, but Derrick could have been positive without being negative.  He essentially accused people of not seeing Bryce's improvement because of their desire to not be wrong. He could've kept it about Bryce and the team. For example, he could've said: "Bryce has made strides, and we believe in him. This coming season, his continued improvement will turn a lot of people into believers."  That would've been supportive of his teammate and sent a message to the doubters. That being said, his tact almost summoned and left the door ajar for more skepticism. That's my take anyway. Bryce has improved from the bottom to perhaps skirting the line between the bottom third and mid-third at best...after three seasons. We've all seen it. Yay! In my mind, Bryce has still got a long way to go and a short time to get there, but my expectations are top five--at least top 10--always! Yes, I am a fan, so there's that, but I don't believe it's unreasonable to expect excellence. Hopefully the Panthers FO has the same mindset (and that doesn't even necessarily have anything to do with what we gave up to acquire him). That is the lens I'm looking through. Derrick Brown has his homer glasses on. He just needs to be more diplomatic and thoughtful with his words in my opinion, but I get it that he's a good teammate.
    • I have no doubt the Canes will come out like gangbusters, huge bounce back from game one - my only concern is Freddie, if he lets in a couple of softies and Dobes stays hot we could be in trouble.
