    Nothing in there most people didn't already know. Chances are, you're going to lose money, but if you use it as a form of entertainment, it's just like anything else you spend money on.

    Yeah, I've got young kids and hardly ever go to the movies or the bar anymore, so this is my little entertainment splurge. And it costs less anyway.

    Yeah, that's mentioned in there. No different than playing the slots or blackjack. The commercials, understandably, make it seem like you're going to get rich.

    The fact that the sharks have it rigged and are just taking my money would siphon a lot of the entertainment out of it for me.

    At least when I go to the track with my $20 I can be pretty sure there isn't a small pool of the same people who will be walking away with all the winnings every day. And if I happen to win $5 or $10 I can take it home with me.

    Does anyone with half a brain really think they are going to win a $1,000,000. I won $125 once and was ecstatic.

    "Full brain" is not part of the entry requirements.

    But typing that might get you a $200 deposit bonus. Worth a shot.

    I don't know what the big deal is. The answer is not fewer DraftKings commercials. It's more of them.

    The only thing that stops a bad guy with a DraftKings commercial is a good guy with a DraftKings commercial.

    Less DraftKings ads, more guns!

    You would think so. Yet Budweiser doesn't seem to have this problem.
