My winning ticket....Yeah baby.<><>

Also,the paper ticket is thin as can be.

Like i said i`ll try and get some inside pics tonight.

 

[Greenbacks]

Juice was only -110

Not bad....Standard

 

[Greenbacks]

Thinking about putting $110.00 on the Portland Trail blazers +2.5 tonight

See what happens later on.

 

[Betallsports]

Oh yeah they have plenty.

When you walk out of the room off to the left is simulcast area.

Nice.....Bunch of TV`s and windows.....That`s where it should be.

Monmouth is perfect.

The area is on the back end.

The betting windows are the same type of windows where you would walk up to bet a horse.

TV`s are great and the odds TV`s are also great.

I`ll try and take some pics tonight.

I got 1 of the front entrance thats it.

I've seen some online, weird how when lit up it looks normal, but what's with the Dark crap ??

[Greenbacks]

Yeah.....When you walk through those doors.

You see on the right there....You see that guys head...lol

4 windows...lol......5 deep would be a problem...lol

Then when you go inside they have a bar that takes up all the room.

With 4 more windows.

I`ll sneak some pics tonight if i can.

I just looked at those pics.

The screen odds are ground level TV`s.

They had like 4 of them.

Monmouth and Vegas have screen odds up top.

The futures,daily odds,etc,etc.

My complaint is this....Monmouth you can hang around and watch a full game and be comforable.

Not in that little room at the Meadows...No way.

Anyways i wasn`t impressed.

See what happens down the road.

They are probably counting on the majority of business being mobile in the near future.

I'm sure all of NJ is counting on a mobile app. But the Meadowlands Complex is HUGE and they could even build a stand alone Sportsbook if they wanted

Gural, the owner of the Meadowlands should have been ready before the ruling, just like Monmouth did

I'm sure in time ( hopefully by Football ) they will have a nice place up and running

I'll ask them tonight about another location.

Yeah I agreed with Hache before Paddy Power bought them, because the old owners couldn't be trusted after it went out that they were cheating their customers
with employees having their own teams and winning the big prizes.

With Paddy power, I trust them a lot more

What happened was a draftkings employee won on fanduel, sure that is bad from an optics standpoint but the data that people said he had was the ownership % of players. I doubt he had it and I don't think employees of diff sites should play on each others platforms, but the advantage this would create is extremely minimal.

For instance, week 1 this year in the Millionaire Maker, I could pretty much tell you what the ownership %'s will be within a 3-5% margin for error for the 50 highest owned players. It was just bad optics but not much corruption going on there.

 

[PatsFan1283]

Correct

Was the purchase price revealed?

158m for 60% of the company and options to buy the rest at later dates. I'm sure they will exercise those options as long as legalization continues at a reasonable pace.

They are a publicly traded company if anyone wants to take a stab. I don't know much about BetFair other than that anytime I watch a fight on a UK stream that they advertise all over the place.

Yes i remember what happened but I don't believe the whole story. I went back to pull the story and it's just my opinion that something smells fishy

DraftKings employees reportedly won nearly $6 million playing daily fantasy sports at rival FanDuel


Scandal has hit daily fantasy sports, and now ESPN is reporting that DraftKings employees are making roughly $6 million playing on rival FanDuel's site.

The scandal broke after The New York Times reported that one DraftKings employee had admitted to "inadvertently releasing data before the start of the third week of N.F.L. games." That employee won $350,000 at FanDuel the same week.

DraftKings later issued a statement saying that it had conducted a "thorough investigation" and found that "this employee could not have used the information in question to make decisions about his FanDuel lineup."

This still has left doubts in the minds of many as to what information employees at sites like DraftKings and FanDuel have access to, and if they are using that data to win money at rival sites. But one thing is clear: Whether they have insider information or not, DraftKings employees have been successful playing daily fantasy sports at FanDuel.

On ESPN's "Outside the Lines," Darren Rovell reported that a FanDuel representative had provided data on how much money DraftKings employees had won at FanDuel.

"Their data shows that Draft Kings employees have won 0.3% of the money" won at the site, Rovell said. "FanDuel has given out in prizes close to $2 billion, according to my calculations."


If DraftKings employees have indeed won 0.3% of nearly $2 billion, that would be close to $6 million won. Rovell put the number at "less than $10 million."


What is not known is if that is net winnings — accounting for losses also — or just the gross winnings.

That is a big difference, but it would also seem that either number is significant.

According to research by Sports Business Daily, over one three-month stretch 91% of the player profits at DraftKings and FanDuel were won by just 1.3% of the players.
There are still plenty of unknowns in the daily-fantasy-sports industry, and that is the biggest problem. More transparency is needed and, without regulation, it is not clear when that will arrive.

We have asked DraftKings and FanDuel for comment.

"Winnings" in that article refers to gross winnings, not net. Which is meaningless obviously. People didn't net 2 billion either. The reporting was just so bad. I dunno if that was intentional or not.

Mostly amounts to fake news but obviously every article about all that stuff was highly embellished because that's what the media does. I didn't feel like explaining it to people in 2015 because it was incredibly polarizing to some since they HATED the commercial onslaught (which was obv fair, companies were stupid to blitz that hard) but the controversy about that Ethan kid winning 300k was pretty trumped up.

You can't really get information from working at draftkings and just log-in on fanduel and crush the site. Hell if you could, I'd pay some low level employee to give me that info, lol.

That being said, they don't let people play on each others sites anymore if they're employed by the company, as much as they can stop it mostly for optics purposes. Obviously you could get your friends or family to play on the site if you truly had superior info, but just knowing Leveon Bell is gonna be 30% owned in a big tournament isn't having superior info.
