The kids at DraftKings and FanDuel are seemingly dropping more money on television commercials these days than the crew at Geico, and that's something I thought I'd never see. I mean, every commercial break on ESPN or the NFL Network seems to feature at least one or two ads from the two daily fantasy sports leaders, with both promising to change your Sundays for the better by turning your fantasy "skills" into big money.
In fact, it was reported that a few months ago, a DraftKings or FanDuel commercial was airing on national television every 90 seconds.
But the average daily fantasy sports participant will most likely tell you a different story, as winning more than a couple bucks (if that) is damn near impossible unless you are throwing big money down to begin with or have an algorithm that is so clever that it could potentially win the Nobel Prize.
And that's the route John Oliver took on the latest episode of "Last Week Tonight," as he brought in some of Hollywood's finest to hammer home how ridiculous the majority of these commercials are. The entire segment is the exact opposite of "After Earth" in that it's a must-see.
