I have made one $100 deposit on each site and have yet to add anymore of my money. I play about every weekend with usually 4 lineups. I have made some money on each site. This is my first NFL season to play.My first lineup ever to play cost me $20 to enter and I won over $700.One account has a little over $2000 in winnings and the other has about $1500. I don’t have the time to manage a season long team and worry about trading, sitting out a player who’s injured, etc…so I like the daily league setup.I can spend a couple of hours on Saturday to research the upcoming games and hopefully put together a winning team. I don’t make up any college lineups. Those 18 year olds can be like a pendulum…. I may jump in and try my hand when basketball starts up.
Re: Fan Duel – DraftKings – Nevada says its gambling
But Nevada says brothels are ok… Well Brothels can be a gamble too, especially if you are a pastor. GAmbling is a hard thing to prove, sin wise or nail down. Our church fathers in their wisdom basically said the stock market was a gamble and taught against investing in Cotton futures. What some would call recreation, to others is gambling. I had one lesson in Poker on the first ship I was on, cost me a month’s pay, best lesson I ever had.________________Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/

I think it’s interesting that we say it’s a sin to deposit money that you’re not promised back, but actually could get back, but it’s okay to spend money you definitely won’t get back, for example, by buying a round of golf.Paying money so I can participate in an activity is okay, unless there’s a chance I might get some or all of the money back. THEN IT’S SIIIINNNNN
I bet some a you fellers buy scratch off tickets too.
Some people even spend money on junk food that kills them. It would be better to buy a scratch off ticket than a chili dog.

THEN IT’S SIIIINNNNNI wouldn’t play Draft Kings or Fan Duel because they’re designed to separate folks from their cash, but there is an element of skill in the games in addition to the element of chance, so if people are having fun and are being good stewards of their money, then more power to them. A round at the golf course is designed to separate folks from their cash as well, and moreso because there’s zero chance of the customers getting any of it back. But if golfers are having fun and being good stewards of their money, then more power to them. The problem is that you might be playing against guys that are a lot more knowledgeable than you. In your case Dave…that would guarantee you would lose every time. Sorry man________________
The reason these fantasy sports services are able to spend all of the advertising dollars is because they are making a mint! The handful of guys who testify that they spent $30 and made $100k are either lying or are the epitome of results not typical.
Agreed.You can’t do that much advertising and not be making a fortune.I see this killing college kids finances. Get a new credit card – try to pay off tuition with their knowledge of football. End up maxing out the card________________
Much of what you wrote also describes investing in the stock market. If I purchase a share of International Paper for $50 in the market, I have ownership in a company. I will receive a dividend not much but something every quarter and it is possible that the value will increase (yeah it could decrease too, but highly unlikely would ever be zero)
This is how you make money on these sites. Its simply playing the best matchup of positions against any given team. Its not about always playing the best QB or the best RB. Prime example is last week the top QB on those sites was Matt Stafford with I think 35 points and the best defense last week was Miami of all teams. Its all about the statistical matches each week by positions and those numbers are always available to see.I have deposited $100 on each site and have yet to lose that money. I have not always won or placed in the money but have NEVER lost that initial $100 deposit.The way these sites are set up is that your lowest winning will usually be double of what the entry fee is for your lineup. If a contest cost $20 to enter a lineup and lets say there are 200,000 entries, then you will win money($40) even if you in 40,000th place.
If you enjoy it, a couple hours of fun and a chance to make some or all of your money back or make money on top of it.With a round of golf, you just get the couple hours of fun.What’s the better investment?

Having fun is OK. Being a bad steward of your money is not.I’d argue that a game that’s purely chance, such as a scratch-off or the lottery, is always bad stewardship of your money. The system is rigged against you and there’s nothing you can do about that. You are virtually guaranteed to spend far more than you ever get back.But, some people enjoy the fantasy of what could be, and it’s fun to scratch off a few bucks’ worth of tickets every week, even though they know in reality they are throwing that money away. How is that different than throwing the money away on a movie ticket, or a bag of chips, or a video game? Am I being a bad steward if I spend $5 on a video game I’ll enjoy for a few hours? Or $15 on a movie I’ll enjoy for less time than that? How can I call them bad stewards of their money, if they’re just spending a few bucks to have a good time?
