Looking at ethans latest strings of GPP placings, its hard to believe he wasnt up to something. I mean the guy was placing towards the top on a consistant basis. Not really any bad entries.
Since july he has finished in the top 3 seven times..I am guessing he has the sports almanac from back to the future
No one believes that ownership data from DK gives anyone enough of an advantage to win that often on FD, right?
I don't quite get how this is helpful (or at least, super helpful). Dude had ownership percentage info
from Draftkings and was able to win money
at Fanduel? How can DK ownership % for Fanduel Sunday games be THAT much more helpful than Fanduel Ownership % from Thursday games? I mean, apparently it worked (or he just got really lucky with some educated guess that anyone
could have made based from Thursday games).

This wouldn’t be an issue if different DFS sites had significantly different lineup data and game structure, but salaries are analogous between the sites, and the structure is the same.
This just isn't true... salaries are different and there's no kicker plus a flex. Player X with Salary $z and y% ownership
on DK... ergo I should make THIS exact lineup
on Fanduel where player X has a salary of not-$z, and ownership percentage of not y%?
I'm willing to bet (heh, get it), he had Santos at Kicker to win that much, and yet DK has no kicker...
Does not compute. Gives a hugely sketchy allegation that will be massively bad PR, yes.... bad for the industry overall, yes... but if I had that DK data, I don't think I'd be sitting on $350k at FD today.
Given the amount of money that stands to be made and the ease of moving across sites, this is a climate ripe for insider trading. We see trading like this across industries. It would be naive to think DFS is immune.
This is like having insider trading information for Apple and making a killing on options trades for Google.
