FanDuel in legal trouble with GT

I figured they were suing us because we obviously threw the Duke game.
 
Disney apparently has Draft Kings but FanDuel is it's own thing. It's secured hundreds of millions in series E from KKR, though, so it's still in good hands.
 
Win money on how many points a team scores: gambling. Win money on how many yards a player gains: not gambling?
 
Yandle is the one who first spotted it according to his twitter. Pretty low blow to use pics like that. They didnt even bother marking out "Georgia" from the "Georgia Tech" wordmark.

Their ads are just very misleading. Although I did see one of the most insulting ads of all time for one of those auction sites last night I think.

Guy telling couple how they can buy new Apple and other electronic equipment for about $10. Ugh.

You pay per bid on those sites so the final price is in, no way, reflective of the actual cost to purchase.

On dealdash, for example, it costs $0.60 to bid and move the auction up $0.01.

So a $30.00 iPad = 3000 bids = $1800 to buy an iPad. Sure you could have paid $0.60 and won the action, but the most likely outcome is that for every auction you win, you probably bid on 100 (multiple times per auction) and lost.

Do they offer $20,000 watches?

Beezid and those other penny auction sites have an enormously great business model / scam. I've been tempted to see if I can build a bot to snipe those auctions. I'll bet there are already many others out there doing it, though.

You can't snipe those penny auctions because every time a bid is placed, time is added. Not sure how much time though.
