DraftKings Worth 1 Billion?
I assume you are referencing the Compete graph, which is unique site visitors (not users). I'm referencing the data that FD published on their users + a DK estimate to get to 1.5mm. Regardless, my point was that it's pretty pointless to even try to anal... Read More

DraftKings Worth 1 Billion?
I think this is an outrageous projection for active players this year. I don't have a great guess as to what it will do, but going from ~1.5mm actives last fall to 9mm+ is not realistic IMO. Regardless, it's a waste of time to sit around and discuss val... Read More

FD PBC Package valuation?
i've been to the mansion twice and both times it was $500/head and did not include bottle service. Yeah there was more eye candy and more of "party" experience than a fantasy sports event would be. Whether or not those are better experiences than a FD even... Read More

FD PBC Package valuation?
In general my opinion is that the sites have no obligation to give these things away at face value. They are businesses that are losing money and trying to grow an industry that has a lot of challenges ahead. They would be silly to do anything other than w... Read More

Is the future of DFs really that great?
first of all this guy sounds like a major donk (i know that because i have a good read on people who call other people up on Wednesday afternoon complaining about mass multi-entry in fantasy games). i kid. more seriously, a large number of casual DFS pl... Read More

Is the future of DFs really that great?
this is true. but just because not many people will be able to make a substantial profit playing the contests, doesn't mean the industry won't thrive (see also: the stock market, sports betting). Read More

Rake going up?
This is a good post. The sites don't owe anything to the players, affiliates, etc. They can and will do whatever they can to further their own best interests. However, there is a balance that must be struck. There are people that drive significant amoun... Read More

Rake on FanDuel Qs
You have a choice. You don't have to play, but you are choosing to keep playing even if you don't think the rake is reasonable. I'm just trying to say that instead of taking the approach of "i want a big score...so i gotta play these things," maybe you ... Read More

Rake on FanDuel Qs
I agree with the posts saying that it's up to the players to decide if they are willing to pay the rake. If you don't like it, play on another site. If you aren't willing to do that, then there's no reason for them to lower the rake. In fact they'll probab... Read More

Football season was a disaster for me!!
IMO both sites have tons of casual players -- look at all the TV ads for both. the biggest factor by far is that NFL GPP's are massive now. even a great player playing big volume could go years without a top finish. it's only going to be more difficu... Read More

is there a monopoly in dfs?
The interesting thing about the condia/1ucror "h2h monopoly" is that it affects only a small number of people directly -- people who want to post $109+ h2h games, but it affects everyone indirectly. The people who cannot post the $109's+ end out flooding a... Read More

is there a monopoly in dfs?
Yep - and this is the reason why if FanDuel cares about their ecosystem, they should limit the amount of h2h contests a user can join. "Post as many games as you want, but you can only join 25 h2h games per day that other people post." Similar to the 50... Read More

is there a monopoly in dfs?
The opposite is actually true for every point made in this post. And to answer OP, yes, DFS is a monopoly. It's more like sports betting than poker for the reasons discussed in this thread. Anyone getting into it now is too late to make any real money, ... Read More

DraftKings (or Fanduel) Data Access
That's not the point. The point is that one player was given access to the results of data analysis done by the DK team and those results are not available to everyone else (unless of course you did the work yourself). That is by definition "not fair." ... Read More

Is Late Swap too much of a liability for the sites?
Yes and no. Yes from the perspective that there is a huge potential liability if DK goes down during the hours of Noon ET - 4 ET on Sundays. Even if the outage wasn't DK's fault, which could happen. No from the perspective that DK doesn't have to take a... Read More
