As a resident of Iowa, I'm not even allowed to play.

I had to pull some shenanigans to even pay for my buddy's yahoo fantasy league.

ND is horrible.
It shouldn't be legal under current laws anyway....

Tell me how it makes any sense to be able to gamble on football stats/outcomes but not on poker or backgammon?

Anyway, if you aren't a serious sharp, you probably should know you're dead money in the long run at DSF anyway. So many super bright kids from poker made the switch and are annihilating. Kinda jelly I never got into it.

Yeah, I played for the first time last year, and my very first game I placed top 50 out of about 50,000 people. That made me think I was good, but I didn't come close to winning like that the rest of the year. To have a chance at those big pots, you have to have a large bankroll and computer algorithms. Those guys buy like 300 entries and have these formulas to come up with the best lineups.. kinda hard to compete against that.

And rightfully so. They really have botched the DFS market. If you saw the actual chart of the guys winnings since he started working at Dk, literally every day was top 10's.
