Took out all my money. It really wasn't even fun. I didn't even memorize who I had on my team.

Another possible coffin-nail:

http://www.reuters.com/article/us-fanta ... UA20151211

A New York judge on Friday ruled that daily fantasy sports companies FanDuel and DraftKings must cease operating in the state for now, in what could be a crippling blow to the fast-growing, multibillion-dollar industry.

New York Supreme Court Justice Manuel Mendez granted an injunction sought by Attorney General Eric Schneiderman after hearing arguments last month over whether daily fantasy sports games amounted to illegal games of chance or lawful ones involving skill.

A lawyer for DraftKings said the company would immediately be filing for a stay of the decision and plans to appeal the ruling.

The ruling comes amid nationwide scrutiny at the state and federal level as to whether the games amount to gambling. It has the potential to ripple throughout the country, as eight other states have gambling laws similar to New York's, according to DraftKings.

But FanDuel and DraftKings, the privately-held leaders of the fantasy sports industry which both boast billion-dollar valuations, may have painted targets on their own backs with aggressive advertising at the start of the National Football League season that promised large winnings.

FanDuel has said it planned to pay out $2 billion in cash prizes this year.

Took the rest of my money out of FanDuel on Monday. Left $10 to do some wagering for the Championship games. I really enjoyed it and made quite a bit of money off of it but I won't miss it at all when its gone.

In perhaps the biggest blow yet to the daily fantasy sports industry, a company that handles payment processing for daily fantasy sports operators notified them this week that it would no longer handle their wagers or payouts and that it was leaving the space altogether.

Vantiv Entertainment Solutions told its daily fantasy clients, which include FanDuel and DraftKings, that it “will suspend all processing for payment transactions” related to daily fantasy sports in the United States and its territories on Feb. 29.

Bump

I wonder if there still like that, I was looking at those tournamnents, where not a big fee to enter, but can win a lot of money, say you entered 2 and got first, on some number 1 was 15000, or they going to give you a check for that much.
