This was on DK. He was 5900, "(player-popup #jason-smith)Jason Smith":/players/jason-smith-1467 was back but did not start and only ended up with 8 mins. Read More
I'm certainly done with Fanduel now, until they get rid of their current management and prove to me they have the best interests of players. Might take federal regulation and oversight AND a new CEO for me to believe in them again. Read More
+3Great post carney259. The tone pisses me off as well, how can they not make have not safeguards that prevent access, targeting, etc, and only ask employees to try to avoid it. And also, why are there not stated consequences for what will happen if employee... Read More
+1Trust the process, not the results, Fading Utah is +EV long term, of course there will be nights they allow 110+ points. "(player-popup)John Wall":/players/john-wall-1084 at home without Beal in a high scoring game is +EV long term, he just had a bad game.... Read More
+3Surprised no one mentioned this, but I like FD over DK because there's 9 players compared to 8. Greater chance one of your players bomb and you can still cash. Read More
+1 Please ban scripts and limit multi-entry (may 10-20 max per GPP), and a lower total daily entry limit that funnel more skilled players to the higher $ tournaments. Read More
+2If online poker is any guide, higher regulation will not lead to higher rake, the operators will have to eat the costs as costs of doing business. Hence, why it will kill the smaller sites. Read More
Linkedin states Draftkings as 200-500. Just a guess, maybe 100 are active players? Out of 11 million winners (as advertised by Fanduel), that would calculate to be .0009% of the players winning .3% of the money. Or about a 330X winrate of the average playe... Read More
+3The product will be fine. There are many super smart management consultants, product managers, data analytics folks that will pick up the nuances of this industry quickly. In fact, the industry could probably use some more professional heads around. I know... Read More
+2My thought is DK and FD had the chance to be transparent with the player community and answer our questions. They refused, and now get to answer the same questions to the AG and eventually congress. I wonder who will dig deeper and be more forgiving if any... Read More
As long as their are lax data management and controls, a lack of transparency, and employees allowed to play on other sites, it's would've just been a matter of time before a scandal erupted. Read More
+4The point is that if 40% of DK profits are made by FD employees and vice versa, that would be a huge black eye for the industry in the public's eye. Given 1.3% of players make 91% of all profits, I'm sure this number is pretty big. And this is the number O... Read More
+3The question Darren Rovelle asked on OTL: "How many employees are playing? What % of the money on FD/DK are won by employees on their sites?" I have a bad feeling if these numbers were released public opinion would get real ugly real fast. Read More
+16DK/Fanduel are going to do more than this to restore confidence. The poker sites supposedly banned employees from playing, but still had superusers. After poker, today's players and particularly the media are a lot more skeptical. A good start would be (as... Read More

I would argue the opposite. From the operator's point of view, sustainable business and growth actually comes from putting as much of the profit into the hands of the general public as possible, and not concentrating profit in just a few sharks/employees w... Read More
+5Fantastic post, agree on all points. I'd also add they need to lock lineups at the start of the first game and immediately after publish the csv of all lineups in the tourney. Read More
