Online....overrated or no?

I'm old, so I'm guessing you are talking the on line on fantasy football....the Las Vegas betting line is based on betting and wages placed. It is not based on who is best. It changes due to money wagered as like at the horse track.....Now, a Las Vegas line on fantasy football probably works the same way, not who is best but players being wagered on the most, so the gamblers have to lay off some of the wagers to cover their rear ends....So if this thread is about gambling, and if the lines are based on gambling, then the line is probably based on money wagered. Gamblers and bookies do not look at who the best team/ player is and such, it is all about taking bets and then laying them off to cover the bets so that either way, the house wins. So maybe if everybody is taking one WR, they try to push some other WR's to lay off their bets. 

2 things about Fantasy Football or any gambling is that to the gambler, it is not about the sport, it is all about money......and, anything that can be bet on can be crooked. Now that doesn't mean they rig the games, but they can slip in false winners after the games. So you the customer think you did great but you then find others did better, but how do you know those others are not placed in the pool by the gamblers AFTER the games. Anything you bet on can be rigged and crooked.  Case in point would be a crooked football pool that is putting in fake slips after the games. You would have to pick every game right and the Monday Night tie breaker just to beat the rigged system.  Do I trust gamblers, no. For the most part, it is all a rigged game, and fantasy football can be rigged also.
