pretty annoying reading the DFS shills on twitter, who constantly pimp their affiliate links and act like theres nothing shady about anything involving DFS. its to the point now i hope the companies fail. these cocksucking DFS ceo's are out there comparing this shyt to chess, and spelling bees and shyt calling it skill and not gambling. its unbelievable, really

Fellas help me out. I was about to start playing the one on one competitions on draft kings. Is it safe?

the head to heads are raked where you pay like -125 to play in a toss up with a guy, and thats assuming its not one of the DFS pros who load up on head to heads where you are a decent sized underdog. if youre truly playing 50/50 toss ups with little to no edge, you will get raked to death at the -125 rate and just bleed your money away. but by all means, if youre just looking for a few 20 dollar matchups or some shyt each weekend with your disposable income, give it a go and see how you like it

So basically what ur saying is everybody has a ranking prior to what they've done in head to head match ups and that the more u bet the better chance you''ll be facing one of the pros?? But that their not really tripping off of the low priced games so those will be even?

This could be big. You can't online gamble but you can online gamble on fantasy players.

nah a lot of the DFS pros play stuff down to like $10 head to heads because they see it as going against low rolling novices and literally free money

maxdalury's FanDuel Recent-results Game Results

thats a pro, and you can see he enters head to heads from 10K to 10 bucks (and winning damn near every one of em). no real way of knowing who you are up against, and even if its another low rolling novice, youre gonna be raked at -125 in a 50/50. youd have to win more than 55% of your head to heads to see profit with that rake, which is a real uphill battle if youre at best 50%. i lasted like one week on draftkings, because i knew almost instantly i had zero shot at winning anything because i was going against guys with 200+ entries sometimes in the big tourneys. was in a baseball 100K pool tourney, and the same guy was 1st-14th place. i withdrew right then

I got what you're saying with the exception of being raked at -125.What does that term mean?

if you play a $100 head to head, theres 200 in the pool from you and your opponent. draftkings just collects 20 bucks from each of you, and the prize pool for the winner is 160. im not sure the exact rake, but its something near -125, which is fukking horrific. youre honestly better off picking a team to cover a spread at -110 (or some sites better like -108 or -105) and going that route if you want some small action. the pros are good enough to overcome the rake and still profit. the vast majority will get swallowed up playing into those odds though
