Fanduel executive says poker is not a game of skill

My thinking is that if you can lose at something on purpose then skill is invloved. It is really easy to be a consistent loser in No Limit Hold'em on purpose. Just make a habit of putting in 80% or 90% of your stack in pre-flop and then folding after the flop. Another way of losing consistently is to make calls where you can't even beat 95% of the bluffs.


I'm not sure if it is this easy to lose on purpose in DFS.

You can create a DFS lineup with players who will not play but are available as an option for the lineups. This could be injured players or min salary 3rd stringers. This would insure losing close to 100%.

True, this makes sense. You could easily lose by consistently using way less than 100% of your player payroll.
