The Pros And Cons Of Fantasy Sports

Daily fantasy is not as simple as it seems. It’s not just gambling on professional and college sports over the outcome of the game. Daily fantasy or fantasy sports in general, can have no effect on the outcome of the game as fantasy sports comes down to many of the little things in the game, like a single catch or even scoring point by one of the teams not scoring points. Fantasy sports can be easily compared to the stock market. It may be very different worlds but they share a lot of the same qualities. Both the stock market and fantasy sports are not like gambling, but are not betting directly on the outcome of the game or the products. Stocks rise and fall sometimes without any warning or reason. Something like a company being bought out can be compared to a player switching teams. The players stock may greatly rise or fall into a type bankruptcy. The best way to look at fantasy sports
According to Dustin Gouker, a writer at legalsportsreport.com, has ranked what states the daily fantasy companies are targeting the most at this time. Alabama and Georgia are at the top of this list as they are the closest to completing a real bill. Oregon is trying to pass a bill to call daily fantasy a game of chance. This could be a very alarming turn of events for Oregon, as they have not had previous talks about the subject. Just like in the election, what is important is the number of people in the state. Texas and Florida are the two major prizes, due to their massive population. Although according to Dustin, “If Texas does not pass a law this year, the legislature doesn’t convene again until 2019” (Gouker). This could become a total game changer for the daily fantasy industry. Daily fantasy is relying on this highly populated state to pass legislature, as it could cost them millions if it does not pass. Other states of concern but not to that magnitude include Iowa, Vermont, and Ohio
