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've really only begun to pay attention this week being that training camp is looming, so I was personally caught off guard by the fact that Nic Scourton remains unsigned. That's not necessarily bad news, but it's not necessarily good news either. Apparently it's a thing with this year's draft class. "Of the 32 players selected in the second-round, 30 remained unsigned and the clock is ticking. "Already we've seen one second-round pick hold out from the start of training camp with that player being Los Angeles Chargers' wide receiver Tre Harris. Harris did not report with the rest of the Chargers' rookies on Saturday due to his contract situation, a issue that could impact nearly every other team in the league. "For the Panthers, defensive end Nic Scourton is the player to watch for when rookies start showing back up to the team facilities next week. "The 51st overall pick is one of the 30 second-rounders who has yet to sign their rookie contract and the reason why is due to the other two that have actually signed. "Cleveland Browns' linebacker Carson Schwesinger and Houston Texans' wide receiver Jayden Higgins each signed fully guaranteed contracts as the first and second players drafted in the second-round. Prior to this year, second-round picks never received a fully guaranteed deal, only players selected in the first-round." https://atozsports.com/nfl/carolina-panthers-news/panthers-nic-scourton-contract-second-round-pick-training-camp-hold-out-tre-harris/ So, I suppose we'll see what's what pretty soon. It's definitely something to monitor.
    • overwhelming majority of kids in travel ball aren't getting scholarships though because most teams are rec caliber (and not watched by scouts)    and parents/leagues sort of helped create this system and narrative IMO where travel ball is now oversaturated and most of it is simply expensive rec ball.  is travel beneficial for some athletes to get more exposure? Sure. The ones travel actually existed for.   I still think travel has expanded entirely too broad at this stage......where they will now have 5 teams per year in your backyard area pending they can get parents to write those checks.   Ain't no scout ever laying eyes on 90%+ of the kids in travel ball at this stage of where it has morphed into.     
    • Im really curious to see how the defense is going to look once its playing with some leads.
