The story of the rise of daily fantasy sports, and the brilliant entrepreneurs disrupting the way we consume sports

The inside story of the rise, fall, and rise of FanDuel and DraftKings - two companies that began as obscure startups and, seemingly overnight, became billion dollar companies, and just as quickly found themselves the target of the FBI and Department of Justice and the center of a national scandal.

Veteran sportswriter Albert Chen draws on candid, unprecedented interviews with every key player in tech, sports, gambling, and the fantasy leagues to create a breakneck narrative around a group of entrepreneurs, players, and gamblers. Billion Dollar Fantasy recounts the origins of modern gambling and fantasy sports in America, and follows the unlikely rise of the fantasy sports world through the lens of the two startups at the center of the story.

For fans of The Big Short,The Facebook Effect, or Bringing Down the House, this book tells the tale of a culture of risk, hubris, greed, redemption, and a group of larger-than-life characters trying to make sense of the complex new world they've created.

Daily Fantasy Sports took the sports world by storm and accelerated the move to legalizing sports gambling in the US. This tells that story through the lens of important individuals during that rise. I enjoyed this very much. I would have given 5 stars if they had not included the DFS pro. I understand why he was included, but his story was a distraction, instead of a supporting narrative.

Fascinating insight into a disruptive new industry

rise of daily fantasy and how just breaking laws using tec is the way to make a bunch of money. Last half of the book is searching for an ending that never delivers.

This was a very interesting story on the beginnings of the two biggest sports books, Draftkings and FanDuel. Never knew that one got its start in Scotland and some of the stories sound straight out of The Wolf of Wall Street. Not the most interesting subject for an audiobook, but the narration was also good enough to keep me interstates. A 4 star audiobook.

Good audiobook on sports betting

I enjoyed the book in total, but had to lower the narration speed because the narrator was too fast. He mispronounced a few things, and the story assumed too much knowledge of each reader.

Good story, average narrator
