Hi OgNasty, can you give an example of popular fantasy sports betting? I gotta be honest, I heard of this but I have not played this type of game and I don't know what kind of betting sites in the crypto space that are offering this kind of game.

Also, can I request the link to the full story or news, I'd love to read the full details regarding this.

Even if the question was not directed to me, I will take the liberty of answering you...

So this means that you can basically bet on the outcome of for example matchdays on sorare or other NFT based blockchain games? While i think this is an interesting idea for people that are interesting in doing that i also think this is kind of dangerous for the platforms that are offering this bets. I mean the outcome of those matches is pretty easy to manipulate in my opinion. Some bettor with a lot of money could just contact one of those sorare player and offer him 5k$ if he loses the next match where he is the big favorite and then of course bet on the loss of this player. In real sports this is pretty hard to do especially in big sports, but in fantasy sports i think this is pretty easy to do and therefore dangerous.

This is great news. In my opinion, betting in fantasy sports is more attractive for players because it minimizes the possibility of various kinds of manipulation in the sport of fake matches, etc. I believe that over time, this area of gambling will become more widespread.

That's for you though, I don't think not a lot of people knows about fantasy sports right now and from what I can see in some of them, I feel like it's not really fun to have bet on this sports since it can be easily rigged by a code.

More number of fantasy sports betting platforms are available for cash prize. It is very rare to see with cryptocurrency acceptance. In my country we've got dedicated platforms for fantasy sports betting for football, kabbadi and cricket. It is fun filled than common form of sports betting, because we choose our team picking players from both the teams playing the match. The fun part, at times the player we choose don't even get on the playing eleven.

Legalizing these services are good, but wrong way of promotion shouldn't be done. The truth about the game and how it need to be played and all should be briefed.

It seems, not just fantasy sports, but they have legalized the sports betting segment altogether. But unfortunately I don't see any crypto sportsbooks there, only fiat! So the news might no be enticing to a majority of us! It's just some fiat punks getting rich.

I’m just now finding out that last week Arizona changed their stance on sites like DraftKings for online sports betting. It seems like states are legalizing things that bring them revenue at a pretty good clip. I’m particularly happy about this one though, as I’ve had money stuck on my DraftKings account for a long time now. I might have to get into fantasy sports.

Just confused here. Why are fantasy sports banned in that state? Everyone knows that almost all US States are gambling-friendly states and we can't compare Fantasy Sports to the usual gambling where the former is all about virtual and not actually harmless although quite stressful.

Fantasy sports is good and I have a little experience participating in it especially Fantasy basketball and Fantasy football. I was just lured by my friends who are addicted to Fantasy Sports and Trading Cards, physically and virtually.

Hi OgNasty, can you give an example of popular fantasy sports betting?

The only fantasy sports betting I've ever done has been betting on games during the NBA season using DraftKings.com. Basically, you receive a certain amount of points to build a team. You spend those points on different players and they earn point depending on how good they play (what stats they rack up). Then at the end of the day your final score is compared to everyone else who built a fantasy team that day, and if you are in the top x% of teams, you receive a cash prize. It's extremely competitive, but a lot of fun and you get to know all the players pretty well. It also gives you something to cheer for during a game you probably would have otherwise not paid any attention to.

In a fantasy tournament, managers form virtual teams of real players who participate in a sporting event or championship. They receive points depending on the results athletes demonstrate in real matches. Points can be awarded for the athlete's successful actions, for example, for an assist, a reflected penalty, or a goal scored. In this case, the points can be negative for unsatisfactory game results, eg a missed penalty, a missed goal, receiving a red card.
All points are added up and, in the end, the managers, whose virtual teams were able to place them at the top of the tournament table, win.

In my country there's CartolaFC, which is a fantasy game based on the main football championship we have, it's a lot of fun play with friends.

Yeah, really good news.

Really a shame that DK had to deal with this regulatory garbage for such a long time and it's a deserved break I think.

It doesn't matter what state, people need to be able to choose for themselves and weigh up the options against each other with their free will. Makes no sense to keep that choice away from them imho.
