Yesterday, the two dominant firms in the Fantasy Football betting industry, Draftkings and FanDuel, scrambled to respond to allegations that their employees are winning big jackpots by applying information only available to company insiders.
A DraftKings employee released data early in week three of the NFL season and another employee was able to make $350,000 over on FanDuel using that information.
which one of them provided the info that the refs would miss an obvious and flagrant violation in the last minutes of a game that would totally change the outcome?
I’ll be darned. People are getting scammed while gambling over the Internet.
OK … I give up.
What the fudge is “Fantasy Football?”
No, that’s alright … I can look it up …
soon as I get the interwebz …
Someone please explain to me how this in not gambling.

I watched the championship game a few years ago at my wife’s father’s house when the Seahawks played against the Steelers and even with my limited knowledge of the game it seems to me to be about like Portland Wrestling in its legitimacy. Not that I care, but people seem to get a lot of enjoyment watching it. I know that the college games are Saturday and the pro games are Sunday because they are driving up I-5 with these little flags on their cars at 05:00 on their way to Seattle when I am going hunting on weekend mornings this time of year. Other than I don’t know much about it.
I am pretty sure this sort of thing is why every other form of gambling is tightly controlled by the gubmint.
