Daily Fantasy Sports

Daily Fantasy Sports are a way for fantasy sports players to forget their season long commitments and focus on a new lineup, sport, or league every day. Is it a legal loophole for sports betters? As the audience for sports grows, so does the number of fantasy sports players. On these sites, you can bet money as little as 25 cents, or as big as thousands of dollars. But its not gambling because it takes a little bit of skill? Wrong. Daily Fantasy Sports is as close as you are going to get to gambling. Although it takes a little bit of talent to pick out a good lineup, for the most part it is luck. As long as you are not completely ignorant to the sport, you should be able to pick out a good lineup.

Daily Fantasy Sports gambling may not be as serious as poker, slot machines, or scratch tickets, but, people are still getting addicted to them and messing up their lives. "There wasn't enough money in the world I could have won that would have satisfied me,' he said. 'My body was telling me I had to gamble, and I had to gamble more and more each day."(http://www.grandforksherald.com/news/local/3842980-daily-fantasy-sports-are-they-legal-are-they-addictive)   An everyday user from a Daily Fantasy Sport said this quote in an interview about his addiction.  He soon starting facing financial trouble and trouble in his relationship with his wife and kids.  He was even thinking about suicide.

Daily Fantasy Sports does not affect soccer as much as other sports. Although it is available on the DraftKings and FanDuel sights, it is not overused and abused like it is for Football and Baseball, but, this is only because fantasy sports are not as common in Europe, where the most competitive leagues compete.  These fantasy sports sights promote the MLS and most soccer fans will make the case that they would rather watch a game from the Bundesliga, liga BBVA, or the Premier League before watching an MLS match.  It's simply just not as popular.
