I dont see how it is gambling... But oh well. I have only made like 20 bucks

You're betting money for a chance to win more money. How is it not gambling? This is every bit as much gambling as online poker was.

And I'm not against gambling. I think it should all be legalized, regulated, and taxed. But there is no regulation or oversight going on with DFS and there are some shady things going on.

Don't hate the player, hate the game!

I don't even hate the game. I just hate the fact that this particular form of unregulated gambling is somehow legal when most others aren't. And also there's the matter of employees of DFS using inside information not available to the public to win big on the competitor's site. That's fraud.

Agree 100 percent, the way they the bill passed by attaching it to a rider on a Homeland Security/Terrorism bill during a late night session, somebody who knew their way around congress was waiting for a moment like that, and they took full advantage of it.

But yea that's a problem I don't have but I wouldn't keep lots of money in a fantasy sports account.

What do you think of this team for week 7. I have spent about the last hour, hour and a half doing research and think this team is a winner!!

Carson Palmer

Devonta Freeman

Latavius Murray

Larry Fitzgerald

John Brown

Stefon Diggs

Antonio Gates

Josh Brown

Falcons Defense

I like it a lot. Devonta is guaranteed to get at least 30 points a week and he should shred Tennessee's defense and Gates should have a big game against a Raiders D that can't defend TEs. My only criticism is pick either Fitz or Brown and pick another receiver. It's usually not good to stack in DFS for football especially with receivers.

Yeah. I thought about trying to find another receiver to replace Brown with. Still doing some research on that. So far I haven't found one I like.

I think I'm gonna have to start Ladarius Green because my lineup locks for the 1 PM game and the Chargers game is a 4 PM game. I can't afford to wait on that one. I was hoping I could somehow afford to get Greg Olsen but so far I haven't been able to find a way to afford him. I don't know what other TE's I could look at that are actually in my price range. Jordan Reed is an option but I don't know if he will play after missing the last couple of games with a concussion.

Draft Kings I put in $105 and got back $70 and on FanDuel I put in $20 and won $45. So not terrible but there's obviously room for improvement. I think my problem is that I make too many unique lineups. But this week, my sleeper, Danny Woodhead, got a ton of points so I'm proud of that.

I did terrible. Didn't win anything. Pathetic.

Solid Lineup IMO. I'm sketch about Latavius Murray this week against the Jets. But overall solid choices.

I've been getting into the 50/50 leagues on Fanduel.

The reward is low, but you only have to get in the top 1/2 to win, which I feel like I'm solid at.

I've put in $10 so far this year, and won $13.30. (Started 3 weeks ago with daily fantasy).

50/50 is the way to go. I put in $20 last year and cashed out $575 playing mostly $10 and $20 50/50 games (cashed out week 15 to ensure that I wouldn't get a 1099-G). I haven't played many weeks this year, but I've come out positive every week, but one so far. I was always a fan of parlays when I bet on football, so I have trouble staying away from the multipliers.
