we might be able to get our fantasy fix more regularly in the near future...

"Baazov also spoke about a big development involving Amaya on the company's earnings call. As first reported by Chris Grove of OnlinePokerReport.com, Baazov said that "We have also taken the strategic decision to enter the daily fantasy sports category and are pursuing parallel tracks of internal development and strategic acquisition. We expect to provide more details on this strategy in the second half of 2015, but see a clear crossover from poker and daily fantasy sports."

The story went on to cite comments made by Baazov that the starting date is aimed for the 2015 NFL season"

Quite liked the look of Daily Fantasy when I saw it advertised in Vegas.  Could be quite cool, no doubt us mere mortals will be fucked though and have no chance of winning something like this. 

If it's a success how long before the books over here get involved with it.
