Keep in mind, I am not disagreeing with you, just giving you the reasons.

Fantasy sports are considered a game of skill and poker (especially online) is considered a game of luck (chance).

The UIGEA of 06 gave a specific carve our for fantasy sports.

Yes they carved out a niche because half of the lawmakers probably have fantasy teams.

There's as much skill in fantasy as in poker. You can guess player A may get a lot of points against defense B because the matchup is good, but it doesn't always work out. He can break his leg on the 1st play. You can optimize your chances of pulling a winning card by running the numbers but it doesn't mean you'll get what you need

They are one in the same. Skill games with an element of luck.

I agree they are the same as far as luck goes. Its like arguing why alcohol is legal and pot isn't.


Both are games where you can use all the skill you possess to get the biggest edge you can, but luck ultimately decides the outcome.

I don't know but Fanduel is awesome..

Almost like it better than straight up wagering. Won $800 in a $25 league last week.

Lots of fun enjoying while I can. Prolly won't be long till its gone.

Awesome, nice work man.


Damn Karpernick went off and when V Davis caught that TD pass it kicked me way down in the rankings..

Still won $500 not bad.. I entered 6 times so I net $350. Last week won $600 on 4 entries..

Lots of fun enjoy more than straight betting


Starting to get the hang of it I think this week I will give a shot in the higher priced entry leagues.. They cost more but only half the entries allowed not so many damn people to compete with
