Our contests are 10 or 2 man. We think this makes the experience more personal because
you know every one of your opponents, but it does result in
a ton of collusion opportunities albeit in ]small prize pools. I don’t personally think DFS and lottery-sized payouts need to be combined, but
if I’ve got that wrong we’re basically cooked as there’s no way we can approach the payouts offered by Fanduel and DraftKings."

fyp to add
[the insight that a small field in which most folks pretty much know each other tends to be fertile for collusion], especially in something like DFS.
See, also their marketing study of what customers like .... wrong = cooked ?
