New York bans Fanduel and Draftkings

[Datawire]

Should have just banned the commercials.

Outside of that I think people should be able to spend their money as freely as they like.

Poo,I was winning enough for gas money each week. fugging gov't., need to get out of the way of a LOT of things.

As a avid user of Fanduel, this is absurd. I can assure you that I am a regular every day person with a wife, kids, full time 9:00-5:00 job and a mortgage with absloutley no inside information whatsoever on anything and I win consistently..

If you are smart and treat this as slow, methodical business using numbers and analytics you CAN consistently win money. The people that complain of losing are the ones that put down $1.00 with a top prize of $5000 with a pool of 45000 othe people and actually get mad when they don't win.. Morons.

The key is play 50/50 leagues, the prizes are smaller but you significantly increase your chances of winning. You will NOT get rich or hit it big overnight

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

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

The problem is they aren't getting their cut.  Thats the real issue.

Agree,  like Texas hold 'em that someone I know is still playing but finding it increasingly harder to find legitimate sites that will actually pay out on time and without going through a bunch of red tape or Anyway .. Uh, yea 

Agree.

VH1's "I love the 2010's" will prominently feature DraftKings and FanDuel in their 2015 show

"Today's show is sponsored by DraftKings. DraftKings is a play-when-you-want daily fantasy sports site..."

[usmcpanthers]

Well in the short term, people that want to play will, just use a proxy. Next step fanduel and Draft Kings will just go offshore. The govt should embrace and find a way to get their cut, now they will lose out.

[motocross_cat]

Im suprised this has not happened sooner. 

You cant have that kind of money moving without the governments hands in it......cause you know, they know how to spend it better than you..lol

 

[Jangler]

I count good.

I don't bet at all, do play the lottery from time to time, but It could go away and wouldn't bother me.

Yeah its banned in nevada

And Arizona. I've wanted to play, but apparently if they find out you live in a state where it's illegal, they just don't pay

[propagandamachine]

lol Fanduel and Draft kings are gambling... How they've been able to sneak in this far long is beyond me. :) 

What these fools should have done is LOBBY like a MATHA trucka... Lobby NFLPA, LOBBY EVERYONE... like Uber. States need that cash 

[PantherKing1983]

There is nothing wrong with the head to head leagues as that is traditional fantasy style and they offer it on a week to week basis. The big issue is with the large tournaments and these not being regulated enough, these are 100 percent gambling and no different than a lottery ticket / bingo / keno style game where the top 1 percent are the ones who usually are winning due to the high number of entries and some advanced analytic s.
