Draft Kings

If he's in the position group you picked from, he's good. Otherwise, they wouldn't have him listed.

 

Thanks. That's what I assumed, but didn't see it explicitly stated anywhere.

 

Has anyone gotten a check and cashed it from these companies?

 

I miss the original Wall Street Sports. Now that was addictive.

 

Thursday, they were analyzing fantasy picks for daily games for PRESEASON NFL games! If I had some extra money, I'd give one of these sites a shot, but it has to be stressful if you ever have a decent amount of money on the line. And people actually play these games for a living. I could not imagine.

 

It's legit.

 

That's not what I asked.

 

If it makes you feel better, his winnings were deflated by about 40 percent.

 

My lineup tonight in FanDuel:

P Clayton Kershaw $13,400
C John Jaso $2,500
1B Justin Bour $2,300
2B Enrique Hernandez $2,400
3B Derek Dietrich $2,500
SS Juan Segura $2,200
OF Aaron Hicks $3,100
OF Curtis Granderson $3,600
OF Khris Davis $3,000

I badly wanted to get Ryan Braun in there, and still might, once I check in at lunch on some of the recommendations by the experts for the night. For now, I thought $4,100 was too steep and I didn't have a lot of slack elsewhere in the lineup to sacrifice for it. Granderson is a poor man's Braun tonight, looking at the matchups.

I'm really interested in how Hicks does. He destroys LHP, and he's batting in a hitter's paradise.

 

Well, it was what you wanted to know.

Do you really - I mean, really - think that MLB and other leagues are very visible business partners with some fly-by-night operation that doesn't pay out?

My god, the pearl-clutching here.

 

DW, when online poker went belly up, were people getting paid out then?

And have you ever asked Draft Kings for say $500 of what you have made on it, in a check paid to you to cash, and left $100 or so in there to keep playing with?

I'm just curious.

 

I believe that if you spend five seconds or an hour coming up with a lineup you'll get the samr results
