The beauty of fantasy sports is that it converts sports fans, a subculture noted for excessive enthusiasm, into suckers.  That&#x27;s a feature, not a bug. 
Think of it as monetization of the sports sucker demographic.<p>From the industry perspective, they don&#x27;t care who wins. They&#x27;re a pari-mutual operator; the players bet against each other and the house takes a cut, like horse racing.  This is different than casino gambling, where the players play against the house and the house can lose. That&#x27;s why casinos don&#x27;t permit blackjack card counting. FanDuel doesn&#x27;t care how you plan your bets.<p><i>&quot;91 percent of the prize money was won by a mere 1.3 percent of the players.&quot;</i> Right. There&#x27;s a sucker born every minute.
