"FBI involved now, the truth shall come out. Can't hid behind your computer screens when the feds get involved, nor can you brush it off as 'nothing to see here.' \n \nhttp://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/15/sports/draftkings-fanduel-fbi-investigation.html\n \n \nAlso, ITT lots of stupidity. Any industry left to self regulate will have issues, it's human nature to be greedy. Hell industries that are heavily regulated consistently end up with scandals. Where there is money involved, and especially lottery type free money like this industry, there will be shade. Sure as corporations, neither of these companies need drama. Their business is raking. Doesn't matter who wins, who loses, they make $ on every cent wagered. End of story. Or is it? THe individuals working in these corporations are not the corporation. Same as some rouge banker is not bank of america. Human nature will prevail. If you think a dude making 15-20 bucks an hour is not going to try and gain an edge, walk a fine line between skills and illegal behavior, well I have a bridge to see you in BK.\n \nForget about the sharks, and the people using scripts and such to essentially turn the average player into a sucker that feeds the system at best. That's a whole other story. Let's talk about the real story, insider trading. Taking confidential info to gain an edge. insider trading is a very serious problem here. Forget that a new guy won, and with a bunch of outliers. You have to have outliers to win the lottery contests, and whether a guy is new or old is absolutely irrelevant. If you have access to what player is owner in what % across the board, and you also are somehow connected with creating the market, aka determining what price each player should fetch, the combo will make you a lot of money in the long run. You might miss on 10 weeks in a row, but that 11th week based on that insider info you'll come up with that magical lineup and cash in on 350K. Or 2 mil. And the upper mgmt folks will not care because they're not being asked to regulate anything. People are winning, number of users increasing week over week, we're all gonna be billionares! They're too busy burning through other people's cash on incessan, horrific t advertisements to care. Until the feds get involved that is. THis business model is nothing different from online poker. The corporation is interested in making 100s of millions off the rake, don't need any drama. But the corporations are filled with nefarious cats working there, because guess what, gambling attracts degenerates. These degenerates will always walk the fine line between having more knowledge than others and engaging in illegal activities. Add in the fact that you can literally off 5-10 bucks, over the course of a single sunday, walk away with 6-7 figure winnings, and it will be shady. Until it is regulated, and even then there will be shade involved. Too much money for there not to be, and too many degenerates attracted to this type of gambling model to even keep it completely clean. Again, look at our banking industry as a blueprint...\n \nAs the old saying goes, if you look around the room and can't spot the sucker, guess who the sucker is...\n"
