Yeah. If I were in the DFS biz, this would be the issue that would trouble me disregarding the possible inside-info scandal. And yes, I know the two could be related.
I don't see how these sites can thrive when the vast majority of players lose. I think that clearly wasn't the case during the heyday of online poker.
I think the sites need to prioritize protocols which lead to more players profiting. That may mean ranking players...like having what amounts to losers brackets. Severely limiting entries or lineups could help also. Lower rakes would help. But to allow mega-players to run roughshod over everyone, especially when some are likely to be DFS employees is a prescription for failure...regardless of how this specific scandal shakes out.
And its not like other gambling games where you know the odds are tilted against you. This is supposed to be a more level playing field.
