NFT: DraftKings is BS!

nyjuggernaut2 : 6/18/2017 7:36 pm
So never played any sort of DraftKings fantasy games until this weekend when I paid $33 for the US Open 3.5m challenge. I'm currently ranked in the low 40,000 and have no shot of winning anything of course. However, I just looked at the overall standings of the game and the same username is current in 3 of the top 5 spots. Not only that, but the thing I find really fishy is each of his lineups are different, except for two golfers; Trey Millinax and Xander Schaffle (however you spell it). No way in hell this is legit. I've heard DraftKings be in the spotlight before because of allegations that employees were tampering with the game and joining late, and this just seems pretty odd to me. No way am I going near this site anymore...
you did a featured contest

that allows you to have multiple entries, look at the details and see how many entries you are allowed to have...

i do muktiple entries all the time during football season, really nothing rigged about it
It's a multi entry tournament

That guy is probably a pro who rocked 150+ lineups to your 1 lineup.
It's not rigged.

You are going against professional gamblers in that contest. They all have multiple entries.

Stick to the "casual player" contests from now on.
I'm honestly surprised that DraftKings and and FanDuel

are still in business.

Hadn't seen or heard a thing about them in a couple years, since that hateful NFL season when every commercial break ran the same commercial.

Worse that the year we had that endless loop of that John Mellencamp song, "This is our country."
Not rigged

You have zero shot of cashing for much on a single bullett.

Stick to single entry and 3 entry max tournaments. I've made good money
this year on DFS golf sticking to those games.
One of the things that always happens to beginners

whether it is draft kings or fan duel is that they don't truly understand the system. Dropping $33 on a tournament like that is such a long shot. If you are not also betting on some head to head of 50/50 type of games to help fund those huge tournaments, then you will surely be a loser in this.
Tried golf for the first time
