Re: DraftKings and FanDuel: Irrational anger?
You know, for the most part, I think it's kind of silly that it's illegal to gamble on sports in most of the US. But then, I see how much asian and UK betting sites advertise and how annoying they are (it seems that half of the teams in the EPL are sponsored by obscure (to me) betting sites), and th...

I'm pretty sure Hood won the title in that league.
He posts a new picture of his league-winning team about every two weeks. He must be in every rec hockey league in the tri-state area.

Sure, Jesus is a big scorer in Draft King of Kings, but he's just priced too high. If you want to win, you're going to need some value picks. I recommend taking a look at Artemis and possibly Anhur as sleepers who can really score big for you at a reasonable price.
