Daily fantasy sports sites claim they are not gambling enterprises, but they seem awfully…gamblish.
If only their ads were more truthful.

Things dudes love,
Sports, Money, and a Lack of Commitment.
Bravo John. Bravo.

I'll watch a 007 movie with James Bond portrayed by John Oliver :)

It would be interesting to see an update of how these companies pivoted into ACTUAL 100% gambling a few years ago and observe the chokehold they have on not only national advertisements, but content creators for the sports as well. They surely weren’t lobbying and waiting for any significant legislation changes were they?

"Do they pay something to play? Do they win something? It's gambling."

Tell that to EA and Ubisoft

I love the reoccurring Janice in Accounting gag lmao "She just don't give a fuck!"

[Maffoo]

I checked the source for their website, and they genuinely do have the keywords "british nerd, brit dork, news goof, birdy fact funny man". Lols. Commitment that!

I'm still waiting for James Bond: Aversion to Violence, starring John Oliver.

As a kid, seeing these betting games all over sitcoms on TV, I thought they were just an integral part of American culture. Now I realize they were just sponsorship deals to make it seem so.

Who else saw this and wondered if Phillip DeFranco is going to respond to this video?

[STAWSKINATOR]

If it's a game of skill then how can Janice from accounting fucking win?

[vigilstudios]

John Oliver's unrelenting, self-deprecating humor is the best aspect of his show. Also, John Oliver for the next James Bond!

[tharrock]

90% of what is said in this episode equally applies to lootboxes... Get on it john, we need them dealt with.

[mikewatkinson]

wtf I'm actually beginning to wonder if Janice in Accounting is an actual person that works for HBO

[TrustBuster-jpgl]

Anyone can succeed; but only only 1% win most of the money. Is he talking about Fantasy Sports or the American Dream?

My proudest gambling moment was when I entered an ultra low stakes 10 cent online poker tournament. After spending 4 hours on it, I finished 181st out of 40, 000.

I won $2.20. I made $2.10 after 4 hours of work :(

That wolf pack-through-the-doggy-door metaphor is top notch ahahaha!

In case anyone's curious, the only teams not involved with daily fantasy are the Saints, Seahawks, Cardinals and 49ers.

Draft Kings advertises on porn sites and if it advertises on porn sites, you know you shouldn't try it.

[chipskylark]

The skit at the end of this one was AMAZING

Fantasy Football is like Dungeons & Dragons for the guys who used to beat up the people who play Dungeons & Dragons
