They've started doing it in college too. Last week there was a Baylor vs SMU game which was a complete blowout but they left it on til the end because Baylor was up by 35 and the line was like 35.5. Normally they would have relegated the game to like ESPN news and started the next game. They've added in cover alerts and even their pregame predictions were half straight up and half by betting lines Also they've just been flooding Fan Duel and Draft Kings commercials like non stop this year | ||

It's kind of ridiculous than Fantasy is generally considered a game of skill and poker is still considered a game of luck. Poker >>> Fantasy in the skill department. Fan Duel and Draft King are going to dupe a lot of people in the next few years. :/ Basically .000001% of the fantasy population should be playing that stuff. I mean look at that ad where they claim they'll match up to $200 per $1. If that's not deceptive advertising, I don't know what is. | ||

See, IMO weeklong fantasy is not that different from regular sports gambling, while season-long is usually the same top 3 every year, in my leagues, so IMO it appears very skill related | ||

Personally, I'm losing a bit of interest in the actual sport of football. I'm still very interested in fantasy, though. I'm slowly heading to a point where I don't give a shit about who goes to the playoffs and who wins the Super Bowl but will still tune in to see how my players are doing.

I mean look at that ad where they claim they'll match up to $200 per $1. If that's not deceptive advertising, I don't know what is. It's the same with online poker. Most people playing it shouldn't be playing it. I know there are people who make a living out of it, but they're pretty much earning money from the people who have no business playing it. The first thing I thought when I heard that ad was signing up, getting the match and withdrawing all the money. I'm pretty sure they will have restrictions and I couldn't be bothered to read the fine print to see how to get around it. | ||

Too hard for the prosecution to prove the DUI beyond a reasonable doubt and the other charges are minor misdemeanors without any serious punishment to them. On top of that with the Commissioner losing his last 6 cases in a row, Smith will be just fine. Also the fact they waited over a month to file charges shows that the DA doesn’t have much otherwise the charges would have been filed only days after the arrest. | ||

But really hes just upset that the headset issues distracted him from tripping Patriots. Actually, isn't it time to star questioning Tomlin as a coach? I mean, he isn't Caldwell levels of coattail riding, but as a defensive guy, his defense has been regressing quite a bit over his tenure. | ||

Not until people start questioning Lovie Smith and Marvin Lewis as coaches. | ||
