    1. I'm so tired of their commercials.

    2. How is this legal but online poker isn't?

    Mags and I are going to start Draft King for weapons owners. We'll call it Gun Dual.

    Never used the site.

    Never will.

    Saturation doesn't mean a good (or legit) product.

    look at the NFL.

    I was thinking of starting "Homer Duel". Whomever wins each prediction game gets a choice to date either Mag's wife (Homer #1) or Kingspeed (Bi-Polar Homer #2).

    My only guess is because the outcome is -always- left up to chance.

    .... you make a fair point.

    When you bet and how much isn't chance.

    but whenever you do bet and however much you bet begins the action potential of chance. All the other time is just blegh blah blegh.

    I love playing on both sites and I play a lot on them. Their rediculous commercials and name being plastered everywhere made me want to stop playing something I find quiet fun, 1 commercial every damn commercial break is to damn much.

    From the article the companys dont let their own employees play on their own site and since both Draftkings and Fanduel have slightly different roster construction and scoring as well as different ways of determining a players starting salary, then any info Draftkings had would would be almost useless on Fanduel.
    If employees are giving out information to other people that aren't supposed to have it then thats a huge issue and needs to be dealt with. The fact both sites run with almost no regulations is a little disturbing.
    Doesnt seem like the writer of this article ever played on either site but if this removes or at least lessens the Ads these companys ram down our throats then I will stand up and cheer this journalists name.

    Not saying it isn't. Just stating the facts.
