Anyone else sick of these two?! It doesn't matter what sport, what channel, what website, what app, it seems like if you do ANYTHING sports related on media one of these two (and usually it's both) will show up.

FXX plays Simpson's marathons pretty much every day and I usually have it on as background noise..
EVERY commercial break has the same draftkings or fanduel or whatever ad.
And this coming from a guy who just won a cool $8 on fanduel this weekend

To quote my wife , "Why does almost everybody in those commercials look like a 40 year old white fratboy that don't know how to wear a hat?"
I've been trying to find a good answer to that besides "It is what it is"

If betting on sports is illegal I don't understand why this is and so widely promoted.

It's basically a loophole that these fantasy leagues exploit. It's gambling in every sense of the word, but it gets away with being legal because you're betting on players' individual performances rather than results of a game.

And just like that, I joined FanDuel. I did one entry for two different contests. Cost me 30 bucks. We'll see how I do.

I was watching American coverage of the NFL games on Sunday. Seriously, it seemed like every single commercial you guys have was for Fantasy Football or Pizza.

The kicker is a lot of companies are investing millions and neither site has yet to turn a profit. So what's the point? How long before it becomes regulated or considered gambling?

Congress is interested in examining whether Draft Kings/et is gambling.

Did it this weekend and won $75 off of a $5 entry...seems like the best way to make money is to get involved in small leagues not worth much money and rack up...

Considering I do Kountermove Fantasy MMA (which is similar to FD/DK) almost every UFC card anymore, I don't complain too much about the rest.

Why do they have a different promo code every commercial break?

I hope they get declared illegal so I don't have to see their commercials anymore. I hate how the promo code is different every single commercial break.
