You're not wrong, though there's more than that. I never understood the "game of skill" argument, though. Pure gambling (e.g., flipping a coin) has no skill whatsoever. Due to the chaotic nature of the world, nothing is pure skill (simple commerce, e.g., still has small risk). Poker, online sports, etc. has an element of skill to it, but also an element of risk. I can run endless statistics on blackjack hands to improve my odds of winning, but they're still odds. In the same way, DFS power players can have a massive advantage, but if Tom Brady breaks his collarbone in the first quarter, it's still luck. You are gambling that your skills are better than the other guy's (and the chaotic nature of the universe won't screw you). I think DFS fails in two ways: 1. Corruption - All the stories in the last 6 months about FanDuel employees using insider knowledge to gain an edge on DraftKings, for example. That is screwing the fan, pure and simple. 2. Creating a Predatory Environment - The issue here is allowing power players to "rape and pillage regular players". In the same way that I'm not going to enter the WSOP, I'm going to have a much better experience playing against those at my skill level. You could probably throw "false advertising" in there, too, but we'll let the FCC deal with that.
