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. [This book] 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." 650 0 $a Fantasy sports $x Economic aspects. 650 0 $a Fantasy sports. 610 20 $a FanDuel. 610 20 $a DraftKings. 941 $a 6 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722062606.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204094856.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110081329.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20200104010454.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20191109010402.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20191107014213.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E9305450013111EA995E8F6F97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
