  • Picking Winners Using Integer Programming
    Picking Winners Using Integer Programming David Scott Hunter Operations Research Center, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA 02139, [email protected] Juan Pablo Vielma Department of Operations Research, Sloan School of Management, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA 02139, [email protected] Tauhid Zaman Department of Operations Management, Sloan School of Management, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA 02139, [email protected] We consider the problem of selecting a portfolio of entries of fixed cardinality for a winner take all contest such that the probability of at least one entry winning is maximized. This framework is very general and can be used to model a variety of problems, such as movie studios selecting movies to produce, drug companies choosing drugs to develop, or venture capital firms picking start-up companies in which to invest. We model this as a combinatorial optimization problem with a submodular objective function, which is the probability of winning. We then show that the objective function can be approximated using only pairwise marginal probabilities of the entries winning when there is a certain structure on their joint distribution. We consider a model where the entries are jointly Gaussian random variables and present a closed form approximation to the objective function. We then consider a model where the entries are given by sums of constrained resources and present a greedy integer programming formulation to construct the entries. Our formulation uses three principles to construct entries: maximize the expected score of an entry, lower bound its variance, and upper bound its correlation with previously constructed entries. To demonstrate the effectiveness of our greedy integer programming formulation, we apply it to daily fantasy sports contests that have top heavy payoff structures (i.e.

  • Peter Schoenke Chairman Fantasy Sports Trade Association 600 North Lake Shore Drive Chicago, IL 60611 to the Massachusetts Offi
    Peter Schoenke Chairman Fantasy Sports Trade Association 600 North Lake Shore Drive Chicago, IL 60611 To the Massachusetts Office of The Attorney General about the proposed regulations for Daily Fantasy Sports Contest Operators: The Fantasy Sports Trade Association welcomes this opportunity to submit feedback on the proposed regulations for the Daily Fantasy Sports industry. It's an important set of regulations not just for daily fantasy sports companies, but also for the entire fantasy sports industry. Since 1998, the FSTA has been the leading representative of the fantasy sports industry. The FSTA represents over 300 member companies, which provide fantasy sports games and software used by virtually all of the 57 million players in North America. The FSTA's members include such major media companies as ESPN, CBS, Yahoo!, NBC, NFL.com, NASCAR Digitial Media and FOX Sports, content and data companies such as USA Today, RotoWire, RotoGrinders, Sportradar US and STATS, long-standing contest and league management companies such as Head2Head Sports, RealTime Fantasy Sports, the Fantasy Football Players Championship, MyFantasyLeague and almost every major daily fantasy sports contest company, including FanDuel, DraftKings, FantasyAces and FantasyDraft. First of all, we'd like to thank you for your approach to working with our industry. Fantasy sports have grown rapidly in popularity the past twenty years fueled by technological innovation that doesn't often fit with centuries old laws. Daily fantasy sports in particular have boomed the last few years along with the growth of mobile devices. That growth has brought our industry new challenges. We look forward to working with you to solve these issues and hope it will be a model for other states across the country to follow.

    The Nielsen Company The Changing Face of Sports Media January 2010 The Changing Face 2010 of Sports Media Welcome to Nielsen’s 2010 The Changing Face of Sports Media, a compilation of media and consumer insights from across The Nielsen Company. Enclosed you will find television ratings, advertising intelligence, as well as online and mobile information to provide an almanac of US sports fan consumption in 2009. There is no true beginning or end to the sports year and many sports’ seasons straddle both ends of the calendar. In that spirit, and in the interest of delivering the most comprehensive analysis, we included data from each sport’s latest completed regular season as of January 10, 2010. The data reveal that we are living in an incredible time for sports consumption. There were over 43,700 hours of live sporting events on broadcast and cable television in 2009. And the continued growth of high definition and satellite TV – now in 33% and 29% of US homes, respectively – made it even easier for fans to follow their favorite teams in amazing clarity no matter where they might be located across the country. The DVR-proof nature of sports continued to entice commercial advertisers who, despite a down economy, spent $7.6 billion on sports programming in the past year. Sports are also perfectly suited for the current three-screen media age. On average 81 million people in the US visited sports websites each month to keep tabs on their fantasy teams or follow any one of the captivating stories this year.

  • Draftkings-Lawsuit.Pdf
    Cause No. _________________ DRAFTKINGS, INC., § IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF a Delaware corporation, § § DALLAS COUNTY, TEXAS Plaintiff, § § § v. § § § § KEN PAXTON, Attorney General of § the State of Texas, in his § official capacity § § ____ JUDICIAL DISTRICT Defendant. § PLAINTIFF’S ORIGINAL PETITION FOR DECLARATORY JUDGMENT This action seeks to prevent the Texas Attorney General from further acting to eliminate daily fantasy sports (“DFS”) contests enjoyed by hundreds of thousands of Texans for the past decade. Specifically, Plaintiff DraftKings, Inc. (“DraftKings”) seeks a declaratory judgment that DFS contests are legal under Texas law. This relief is necessary to prevent immediate and irreparable harm to DraftKings, which otherwise could be forced out of business in Texas—one of its three largest state markets—and irrevocably damaged nationwide. This Court need look no further than to the Attorney General’s orchestration of DraftKings’ competitor FanDuel Inc.’s (“FanDuel”) effective Plaintiff’s Original Petition Page 1 departure from the State of Texas to recognize that the Attorney General’s actions pose direct, immediate, and particularized harm to DraftKings. I. PRELIMINARY STATEMENT For more than 50 years, millions of Texans have enjoyed playing traditional season-long fantasy sports. Virtually every level of every sport—from professional football to college basketball to international soccer—has given rise to some form of fantasy contest, in which friends, neighbors, coworkers, and even strangers enhance their enjoyment of the sport by competing against one another for prizes in organized leagues to determine who has the skill—akin to a general manager of a sports team—to put together the most successful fantasy team.

    Yahoo gets subpoena in fantasy sports probe: sources 19 November 2015 orders to shut down fantasy sports websites DraftKings and FanDuel, claiming they are in fact gambling operations illegal under state law. Schneiderman issued an administrative cease-and- desist order on November 11 following an investigation by his office concluding the two websites are illegal gambling operations. The companies claim they are games of skill rather than gambling operations. But the two firms shut down operations in Nevada following a similar investigation. Yahoo said in a statement earlier this week it does A billboard for tech firm Yahoo, photographed August 5, not comment on legal matters but noted: "We are 2015; the company has received a subpoena in a New monitoring industry trends and events closely and York state investigation into daily fantasy sports games, believe that we offer a lawful product for our Daily a source said November 19 Fantasy Sports users." © 2015 AFP Yahoo has been issued a subpoena in a New York state investigation into daily fantasy sports games, sources close to the case said Thursday. The latest action clouds Yahoo's fantasy sports operations amid a legal battle by the office of the state's attorney general to shut down two other services, DraftKings and FanDuel. "We can confirm that a subpoena was issued to Yahoo last week," the source told AFP. Attorney general Eric Schneiderman's office is seeking details on Yahoo Sports Daily Fantasy, which operates in 43 US states. Like other fantasy sports sites, Yahoo allows participants to select players for a virtual "team" and then use the real-world performance of the athletes to win prizes.
