Do you play Draft Kings and/or FanDuel?

Markus Heinsohn · 11-17-2015, 03:24 AM

Hey guys,

do you play Draft Kings and / or FanDuel? It seems to be extremely popular and only growing, so we are thinking if we could add some features in OOTP which could act as a tool for users of those services.

Is there anything you could see as useful in OOTP? Would you take advantage of it in order to optimize your daily picks?

Thanks!
Markus

For Fantasy Draft add Trade Option and with September 1st Rosters Mike Trout is usually what my Scout suggest for First Pick. Give Rankings or like type meaning from All-Star to Blue Chip Prospect.

As a dirty fer'ner I am forbidden to partake in the "fun".

Or so their site told me when I first checked it out.

jpeters1734 · 11-17-2015, 08:53 AM

how about a no or other option lol? Interesting idea though. I used to play fantasy baseball before i found ootp. i never thought of using ootp as a prediction tool

UKRedSox · 11-17-2015, 08:55 AM

Neither

They wouldn't let me sign up as I don't live in America.

Reed · 11-17-2015, 08:58 AM

I've never played and I think my state is going to make it illegal.

da commish · 11-17-2015, 09:17 AM

Neither. Based on their commercials which make it sound like everyone wins and it's too good to be true, it probably isn't.

Kent814 · 11-17-2015, 09:23 AM

I dont think it would be wise to invest in that because New Yorks Attorney General is trying to make it illegal as a lot of people consider it gambling

Questdog · 11-17-2015, 09:27 AM

no

RchW · 11-17-2015, 09:28 AM

Should be a neither option.

r0nster · 11-17-2015, 09:31 AM

Never touch them sites.

aderosa32 · 11-17-2015, 10:23 AM

No I have not tried them. I just stick with regular fantasy football. Sounds like an easy way to lose $200 bucks.

redranger · 11-17-2015, 10:23 AM

Tried it. Burned out from it rather quickly. Too much like playing the lottery

OakDragon · 11-17-2015, 10:38 AM

no

Habsfan18 · 11-17-2015, 12:18 PM

Nope.

ohiodevil · 11-17-2015, 12:22 PM

Nope

I have friends that have used both and they all said they would win $10 one day and then lose it the next, like someone said earlier in the thread, too much like playing the lottery.

Plus they are already illegal in New York, I see them both going the way of Online Poker real soon.

This.

cmaug · 11-17-2015, 12:38 PM

no, I would be against OOTP being involved with either of them in any way
