Largest sites hav spent more than 200 million on ads promising big paufs. Users compete trying to pick the best player for the virtual team. The winner is determined by the player stat that is day and a cash prize is awarded. Nearly 57 Million People ininhe United States and canada play Fantasy Sports. Up nearly 90 since 2008. Professional sports leagues and Big Companies iested in the concept. But as daily Fantasy Sports have grown in popularity so have questions about the legality. Thats spurred protest. Most players lose money. A study by sports Business Journal found in the first half of 2015, 91 of baseballs daily fantasy player profits were won by 1. 3 of users. The attorneys general of six states call it gambling or illegal under state laws. Investor like the Dallas Mavericks owner mark cuban say it is a game of skill. Daily fantasy arent gambling. Period. End of story. Comcast and nbc universal, the Parent Company that produce it is program own a stake in fan duel. Are daily Fantasy Sports skill or gambling . Timothy fong is from the ucla Gambling Studies Program and rick ca are, ro is a sports attorney. Thk you for being here. Rick, what do you think . Is it a game of skill or gambling . Its a game of skill based on my prior history. In the 60s i would send draft picks in the mail to friends. We would play a forerunner of fantasy and frankly 5 of the entire industry is the daily fantasy industry. The rest of the industry is fantasy on a seasonal basis that nobody questions. I think well see in the future most of this evolving into Technology Companies as opposed to Media Companies which is another issue. Why do you think the daily Fantasy Sports are seen one way, season long sports are seen a different way. In my opinion seasonlong Fantasy Sports is skill based. Players are constantly making moves. Things are changi. Daily Fantasy Sports is gambling because it is a game of chance. Any events can happen that day, alte the game, outcome and essentially be just determining the outcome which is gambling. I want to come back to you. When you say its legalal attorneys general say fan duel and draft kings isnt legal in their opinion. In fact its been this week we saw an aorney general stand up, from rhode island who said he thinks it is l gal but needs to be regulated. What do you say to the attorneys general . It needs to be regulated. Different kind of game. My point is this. The games themselves are evevving. I have lost money on both. Dont judge it by that. The bottom line i that the game of skill is evolving and it really doesnt turn on whether its one week, two or a season. The companies that are prevailing are the ones that will figure out how to use the communal aspect of playing these games because every league has relationships and teams do with this kind of process. The issue is not to put your head in the sand and say its illegal. The question is how you regulate it, tax it andvolve it. Im not sure where i come down on this. Lets talk about your expertise in gambling. Some of the concerns from people who look at this say, wait a second, you can get addicted to Something Like this. What do you think about this with the potential for gambling addiction . Have you seen cases like that . Absolutely. There is definitely risk to develop addiction. Clinic as well as the state Treatment Program for men and women w suffer harmful consequences because of daily Fantasy Sports or fantasy gambling. Its a new and emerging form of gambling and a potential for addictive behaviors from that. Is that enough to make it illegal, to ricks point . Again, its not that it should be illegal. This is a form of gambling. It should be regulating. At its best its entertainment. Modern Day Entertainment that can bring people together. Whats important to me is that all forms of entertainment are regulated to protect consumers and businesses to make sure we have a really effective product that moves society forward. You mentioned all of the major leagues have had a relationship with these fantasy sport sites. Although a lot of them backed away since attorneys general started making noise about thth. Out . Regulation and clalification of where this is going. More and more people understanding that fantasy, as a communal activity whether moe bile or otherwise is going to evolve. The attorneys general are right. They need to protect their interests. If it is taxation, evolution. Again, the Media Companies have been driving this. Lets understand in the future Technology Companies will emerge to take it to the next step. Rick, tim. Thanks for joining us. Thank you you. A now a look at whats making news.

His back is originals, how nonconformists move the world. Me we talked to him about what it means and his research may surprise you. They are not necessarily the crazy ones. You dont have to be a round peg in a squarele hole to be original. Many originals hate risk. I think of somebody who founds a company and think they must have a huge risk tolerance. Who looks at that and doesnt want to look at the risk . It looks risky. But in their mind it is risky not to act. They have big ideas and what happens if they dont if give it a shot .

I have to come up with 15 before a good one . The ten minutes people generate about 15 ideas for solving a problem or coming up with a new business. When theyre told you have five more minutes, think more. They have another dozen and they are more original. The first ideas are conventional. What made you start thinking about things, how did you test it and develop theories . I made a bad decision on warby parker.

They were named the most innovative in the world by fast compan neil bloominthat will was in the first class i taught at wharton and i opted out of investing which was depressing. I was curious about why i was so wrong. That led me to dig into the research. What are the lessons you bring up in originals can we apply to personal life . Architects and lookk at them versus technically skilled but unoriginalal peers. One thing is their parents were much more likely to focus on values than rules. They said, look. These are Guiding Principles but we want you to have freedom. They were more comfortable saying this is what i believe in. Maybe not listening to nay sayers. It sounds like the idea of teaching kids to think, notot what to think. Exactly. I was a little surprised. There is evidence suggesting that parental conflt fuels creativity among kids. When your parents dont agree with each oh you have to think for yourself. Thats a horrible lesson. I hate to hear it. Im not saying to be screaming at each oh.
