Yep, this is a point I've been hammering here and at RG with my lame frat boy jokes well before this scandal. The sites, RG, and many, maybe even most of the top players are so intertwined it reeks of insider trading. This small good ole boys club rakes the rake, collects most of the affiliate kickback, and wins a huge percentage of the prizes. Oh they also happen to share lineups and sell advice (a lot of which I fell is bad, or at least incomplete) all while patting each other on the back and rarely, if ever, speaking out against any of the horse**** any of them are doing, like gannondorf firing 200 entries into a small 2500 field QUARTER game, or Max's algo going berserk in every "hand the umpire a ball in Milwaukee" along with THOUSANDS upon THOUSANDS of MLB entries on DK, every day, at all stakes.
The whole thing reeks, and of course one ill timed dumb tweet coupled with an impressive hot streak is what's gonna blow everything up. crazy world.
