Re: Why is fantasy baseball sports legal and gambling not?

The difference is that in gambling, if you exclude the vig the odds of winning and losing are identical, similar to a roulette wheel with no 0 or 00. In fantasy sports (or poker, as an other example) that is not the case. This is where skill comes into play and is distinct from pure luck. You can pu...

Re: Rotoworld.com Magazine Industry Draft
