So can I too turn $125 into over $60,000?

I've made $55 on a $10 deposit

 

edit:

total after 6 weeks not in one game lol.  

Making some money as well, but small bets. Pretty cool site, and interesting ways to bet

I like draftkings more.

Is it easy to get your money out after you put it in?

Yeah, it really isnt much of a hassle, like I was worried it would be (which is why I only threw in $10 to start).

 

You get your winnings almost instantly after your games have been played (assuming you won anything), and withdrawing it is just a matter of telling it how much you want to withdraw.  It removes it from your fanduel account but takes about a day for it to post to paypal (I assume it's the same for credit/debit cards, I've only ever used paypal). 

What actually is it and how does it work?

Im considering signing up.

You can prob just play in a free roll to see if you like it. But just deposit and enter whatever kind of game you want: head to head, 50/50(half of contestants win), ir gpp (guaranteed prize pools, big tourneys with tons of people). Then build your team under the salary cap.

From my limited experience with it, you basically join a small (or very large) league of people and have a salary cap to build a "team" with.  The thing is that there isn't a draft, and many of the teams in the league could be made up of many of the same players.  The salary cap aspect does encourage trying to find the not-so-obvious players that you think will hit that week.  It just bothers me to hear commercials promoting it saying you can "draft" a new team each week, when in reality it isn't a draft at all bc many of the teams in your group will have the same players you do. 

Like bleedingteal said above, Draft Kings is way better.  

 

Things I like about Draft Kings:

 

You have a flex position (FanDuel does not)

entry fees as low as $0.25 (FanDuel has entry fees as low as $1)

Freeroll games every week (if you deposit money at FanDuel you get access to a freeroll game in the week you sign up)

No Kickers (FanDuel has kickers)

ability to pull the player pool into a spreadsheet with one click (this is one of the biggest reasons I favor Draft Kings, not sure you can even do this on FanDuel)

Overall interface (Draft Kings Interface is way better than FanDuel's)

 

 

I signed up for Draft Kings last week with a few bucks and won a few more bucks over the weekend.  I just signed up for FanDuel today with a few bucks to compare.  I'll play there, but I'd never add any more money if I end up losing what I've deposited.  I would not recommend FanDuel, unless you have no idea what you're doing... then by all means play at both and enter as many games as you can afford to.

yeah, it seems misleading, I think the ones who won big risked much more than $125
