Book description

In the spirit of Bringing Down the House and The Wolf of Wall Street, “an engrossing and often hilarious behind-the-scenes look at the characters, compulsions, and chaos inside the fantasy sports gold rush. It’s the perfect meld of a sports and business book, engagingly written like a fun, page-turning novel”…

Why read it?

1 author picked Dueling with Kings as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I love this hobby, but I would be remiss if I didn’t include a book that exposed our challenges as the industry has evolved.

There is some “fish out of water” element to this book, too, but I thought it was an important exposition of how Daily Fantasy Sports nearly destroyed the enjoyment we long-timers have experienced for the past four decades.
