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'm convinced Harden wants to do nothing but put up pretty shots and try to draw fouls and then do nothing on defense lol. Brunson went off though

      what does Bryce's 2026 season need to look like for you to be oaky with extending him?

      Baker was traded before he played his 5th year.  RGIII was cut before playing his 5th year. So it is rare but it happens.

      Time to hit 4000 yards and 30 TDs (including rushing). I don't care about INTs anymore. That's a big part of the problem. He plays uber conservative until the game is on the line. Playing not to lose, instead of playing to win. Time to let it friggin rip from the get. The team can win with a pick or 2 if he has 3-4 TDs. Stop playing scared.  But to be fair, his WRs have not been great. You all can bash about 1st round picks and O-line cap all you want.  Chuba as your #1 RB his entire career.  Adam Thielen as your best WR for 2 of 3 seasons is ridiculous. Then a rookie as your best in the 3rd season. Legette is not a 1st round talent. Probably closer to a 4th if you compare him to Brazzel this year. Coker has been a walking injury report. Nothing else to really speak of at WR or TE. Jimmy Horn has potential, but he is not an NFL starter yet. Oline has been better as run blockers than pass blockers. Ickey has always been so-so as a pass blocking LT. Center has been a revolving door for 3 years. Damien Lewis has been as marketed. Hunt is a great run blocker but an ok pass blocker - when healthy. Moton has been solid at RT. Biggest problem with the oline has been depth. When someone went down, their replacement became a glaring weakness. Overall a good but not great unit the last 2 years. 2023 was a ish show. Nothing else to say.  Not one game breaker, take it to the house offensive weapon since DJ Moore. Hopefully we get a little of that from Brazzell.  Either way, in his 4th season, it doesn't matter. You have to be able to overcome whatever comes your way. First 3 seasons with a young supporting cast is defendable. Can't use that anymore though. 3rd year in the offense. 3rd year with the same HC.
