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

      He's handing off play calling duties to fuging Brad Idzik as well so, either that mouth breather can run the playbook and Canales can grow as an all around head coach or it will be a horrible decision and both of them and BY can screw off. I'm fine with that as long as it isn't just another excuse for BY to get another year with another coach worthy of working around his limitations as a qb.

      Not only for Andersen but the whole team, having not beat the Habs this season before tonite.  Shows them that they aren't jinxed.

      I understand why people say things like it could be worse in relation to Tepper but it just doesn't jive for me. Are the optics bad? Yes. Would I want her to be the owner of my team? No. But I mean she's only been owner for a year and the Colts overall are a better run organization. As far as I know they've also never had the distinction of having the worst win percentage in all of professional sports either. Tepper has owned this team for 8 years and about the only thing that has been consistent has been the ability to continue to find different ways to achieve new lows. Even now people are saying things are different yada yada but we said these same things at certain points under Rhule Fitterer and Reich. I'm going to wait to see how the rubber meets the road this upcoming season before I make any strong conclusions about anything in relation to the longevity under this franchise going forward.
