I got really into daily fantasy at the height of the boom: you make a fantasy football lineup and enter it into paid contests. For big leagues like the NFL you can potentially win …

I think the article would be better if you were to include even a basic template instead of just adding the tag. Right now, my first impression would be "why not just wrap the cont…

It is great to see more options for non-accredited investors. There are plenty of software-type folks in low-cost of living states that don't meet the net-worth / salary bar but ar…
