Why is Brit Devine providing expert picks on yahoo when he doesn't play there
Is it really an opinion to say that it adds validity? I'm not saying that he doesn't have the expertise and knowledge to write about Yahoo without regularly playing there, I am just saying that it adds to his validity if it does. I guess I just dont under... Read More

Why is Brit Devine providing expert picks on yahoo when he doesn't play there
It adds validity to play there everyday. The more familiar you are with the structure and ownership tendencies on a platform, the better your content will be. Sure, you could follow all of that without playing, but for an outsider looking in it becomes mo... Read More

Playing 6 figures a Night
As someone who ran operations for a couple DFS sites, typically you'd see wire transfers for deposits/withdrawals over 10k. Although we did see some people use CC deposits at 3k a pop (max allowed in one transaction by our payment processor). They'd do 10x... Read More

Why is Brit Devine providing expert picks on yahoo when he doesn't play there
As someone who managed affiliate relationships for DFS sites (Rosters and OwnThePlay), I requested that anyone who create content for us regularly play on our site for the exact reason that that OP outlined. This is an incredibly valid point and I dont see... Read More

Who does tight pricing benefit?
Tight pricing is better for experienced players and the data points to that. I've experimented with tight vs. soft and experienced players win more with tight pricing. At the extremes its the same, if every player were priced perfectly it would be a craps... Read More

Genuine Concern for the Industry, Regarding the Cash Position of FD and DK
An important thing to note is that contests filling is no real judge of a websites solvency. Contests were filling at a large rate for DK/FD and neither was profitable, thus requiring them to merge in an attempt to save costs. They were also not profitabl... Read More

FantasyDraft Statement About Fantasy Aces Players
As someone who has inside knowledge of what a site like FA has in users with a cash balance I would set their userbase at about 5-10k. You'd be really surprised how many people just leave Read More

FantasyDraft Statement About Fantasy Aces Players
A couple things. 1. The .4% of top account balances could be 500k of the ~1M in customer accounts. So its likely a huge amount that they had to cut out to make this possible. 2. This is going to result in a horrible customer acquisition cost for FantasyD... Read More

Pretty much this. There was no investment to be had by any DFS operator at that time. They were not profitable so if theyre out of money and that's the only offer they can get, then they sell. They likely retained the software to try to sell as FA had thei... Read More

You can do an asset purchase to get the userbase with balances and none of the other liabilities. They wouldnt have to wait for bankruptcy. Read More

Same. I really don't know how it could have gotten that far to break down. The only thing I can think of is FA shows FantasyDraft a list of all customer account balances. FantasyDraft says ok, we are basically making 750k (number pulled out of a hat) in ac... Read More

I would also like to add that every affiliate we had a partnership with, RotoGrinders included, wanted to know about our investment and management team. The amount of runway we had and our solvency was very important to them all. I think they all did a goo... Read More

I am also not working for any operator and had no balance on FA. In between jobs in the DFS space I played a lot of volume so I have been on that side of the fence. Just wanted to give some perspective, want companies to do the right thing and like the spa... Read More

Let me preface this by saying I've worked as the head of operations for OwnThePlay and iTEAM (Rosters) both having shut down operations. Essentially that was the #2 guy in charge behind the CEO at both companies. I am proud to say that both companies paid... Read More

If they could have sole their company for the total liabilities (which include player balances) they would have. That was just under $3 million. The sale funds just make the company solvent to cover the liabilities. The FA owners get to walk away with no l... Read More

Even with a pending sale there is no reason to stop player withdrawals. The value in acquiring a userbase is in the users continuing to play on your new platform, that quickly erodes if players can't get their money. A sale like this would have the terms a... Read More

Head to Head Win Percentage
I don't think you should be looking at game count and more looking at lineup count or game set count. Because you can play large numbers of games with the same H2H lineup that can lead to flawed data due to big swings from injured players or a value play t... Read More

At this time I don't think we have the interest needed to warrant spending development resources on the NHL. We will certainly get it in the future as we grow, we just need a little bit of a bigger userbase to support NHL. We've been collecting requests ... Read More
