Is where the lawsuit starts referring to him as "heralded wide receiver Pierre Garcon." Lol. Who the hell does he think he is, Jerry Rice? He may be an ok player, bit one thing he is not, is heralded.

These commercialized football betting sites are scams with rife insider trading.  And I would not be surprised if some of the HORRIBLE officiating we've seen this year is being influenced by some of these referees having money on these sites.  It's not like we haven't seen corrupt game officials in the past.

Just like playing the lottery...a fool and his money will soon part.

But I guess those commercials could be appealing to "bros" making $25k a year and paying off a bmw 3 series.  Somebody's got to win, right?  Problem is, the "winners" are the big fish that throw around serious money and use algorithms to game the system.  If you only play with a few hundred bucks, you're almost guaranteed to lose....unless you get lucky.

Please elaborate. The lottery is purely luck. Daily fantasy is heavy combination of skill and luck. If you do your research, you have a very strong probably of winning. There is a reason there are DFS sharps, just like poker. It is a skill game and that provides and edge. With an edge, you are more likely to win than lose. A pure luck game like lottery would mean that everyone has the same chance of winning - almost zero.

What algorithms are these guys using? I am an amateur that does my research every week and I consistently perform well without wagering large sums of money.

Surprised to see this level of ignorance on a Michigan forum.

Allow me to fill in for Lester Munson, who is almost always wrong about everything. I'll try to do a bit better. There is a reason why Pierre sued Fan Duel but not Draft Kings. The former has a names/likenesses deal with the NFL. The latter does not.

Pierre will mop the floor with Fan Duel.
