Illinois' Attorney General made Daily Fantasy illegal in the state earlier this week.
I just have to wonder this, and this is why I kinda stalled in getting this up (well, that and being way too tired this week -- and cursing Sony for a wonderful present I just got requiring me to buy something for myself): Why does someone not put one and one (and one and one and one...) together to get that these Daily Fantasy games are nothing more than a modern version of rigged Three Card Monte?
The players you see in the commercial are probably the inside rakes to get the money off the table before the fuzz come in to break the game up, just like in the street-side card game.
What shocks me is that, with so much advertising money and the like coming from the sports leagues to things like Scam Duel and Grift Kings (hattip Deadspin!), why it's even been allowed to get this far in making it illegal...
