Thanks for posting that. As usual, the article gave us the facts and the
"Comments" provide the entertainment.
Commenter "Marc" points out that "These 2 companies were publicly accused of
collusion: Their response: a joint press release saying that they were not
colluding."
Commenter Jaimen Perez, who identifies himself as a "semi professional online
poker player", offers the following: "The difference between the stock market
and gambling is that gambling is a zero sum game, where money out of your
pocket is money into someone else's, minus the rake. Given the rake of 2-3% on
Fantasy Sports bets, I don't need to look into the details to know that 90% of
Americans are losing money playing these games.[b][i]By and large its only a
select few who are putting in many hours studying sports and using statistical
analysis software that are beating these games at a rate that offsets the rake.
/i][/b] Of course poker, a game which involves using logic to construct and
continually adjust optimal strategies against various opponents in the context
of extremely limited information, has been illegal in the US since 2009..."
Will be happy to see the endless TV/Radio commercials end.
