If mods have to delete this post it's all good, just thought this was right up OT's alley. GP made a new site called draftday.com that basically runs like a SNG would in poker. Up to $200 buy in for each game and you draft your team for each game you join fresh every week.

Pretty sweet, give it a look see.

Again, sorry mods if this doesn't belong. Figured it'd get some kind of press on here anyway just cause of Taylor and Nat.

I gave up on trusting poker players.

Gotta love how creative GP is.

draftday.com

Didn't check it out but def wish I did. Still will support GP/Wiggins/those clowns whenever though. They've always done things right.

I now have teams running this week. This site will absolutely bankrupt me.

oh shit....this could be the end of me.....

Wow this looks awesome and I'll def be trying it out this week with the few bucks I have left in my paypal. Thanks for posting

yah they def just got a whole bunch of free advertising. You getting paid OP??

I figured because of GP and Nat's relationship with this site it'd get some front page plug anyway, esp with the $1M freeroll they're offering.

Would rather more people just sign up to fill in the games I'm signed up for this week and figured OT was hella into this stuff anyway so thought I'd share something that's potentially fun for a large % of this site. My b yo.

I'd feel more comfortable giving my money to complete strangers (i've used FanDuel successfully) not associated with the online poker at this point. Just my feeling and I'd be curious to see how others felt with the whole Full Tilt fiasco.

Really? I don't see how you can even bring up Full Tilt in this thread. It makes no sense to me...they're completely different and Taylor had nothing to do with the "Full Tilt fiasco"

If you're curious about the legal aspect, here's some more info: http://www.draftday.com/legal - There's a Fantasy Sports carveout in the UIGEA.

I understand why you wouldn't trust poker players. Ultimately you shouldn't play on a site where you don't trust the people managing it. We do keep our player funds segregated from our operational funds, there will be more posted on our site about this as soon.
