Good job, Dave.

I had never heard of Daily Fantasy Sports before. I did a search out of curiosity, and found an indication that the opportunity that your friend talked about may be slowly closing.

The number of ‘fish’ has decreased dramatically in the past year with the rise of RotoGrinders and other sites that inform new players and veteran players about basic strategy and daily advice. There are very few completely clueless fish out there at this point, but there are a lot of people playing who aren’t what I would call ‘sharp.’

An interesting article in the WSJ compares it to successful securities trading.

Good link, Clocker.

I have no real interest in pursuing it myself.

I have a different direction on my radar. (Still in horse racing.)

He's playing online?
I thought all that stopped a few years back.
Offshore then?

I listened to the interview today...thanks, it was worth the time. Maybe it was covered in part one (I haven't heard that), but what percent of the gambler's income is from poker vs horses?

I got the feeling he was more of a poker player.

Does it begin with the letter "T"??

"T?"

Huh?

"T?"

Huh?

Tournaments.....I don't believe the "whales" are concentrated there.
