Anyone else having issues getting their cash out from DraftKings?
I put in a withdrawal request back on Friday, March 13th. The site was giving me the usual "3-4 business days" estimate. I figured, hey, weekends don't count, so I’d definitely see that money hit my account by today, Thursday. Well, nothing. Zilch. To make things even more confusing, if you actually look at the withdrawal options, it says it can take anywhere from 3 to 10 days. So, what’s the deal? What kind of wait times have you guys actually been seeing lately?
Does anyone actually know which sportsbook is offering cards markets right now? I'm looking for specific props on which player gets a yellow or a red. Any leads?

"Crypto device support is not ready. Please verify that the correct crypto device support is installed."
I’ve tried installing every version of Java under the sun, swapped between IE, Mozilla, and Chrome, even went as far as disabling my antivirus entirely, but nothing works! It’s just the same frustrating loop over and over...
Does anyone actually have a fix for this nightmare???? 😠😠😠

That’s probably how it works. At the end of the day, my pick is gonna be QPR.
Robert Harris5 said:Chelsea FC vs. Atletico Madrid - Draw (2.05)
I’m not going to bore you with some deep tactical breakdown here. It’s just going to be a gritty, hard-fought battle. My gut tells me things will finally break open in the second half.
Looking at this, I see a super aggressive Chelsea setup with basically only six guys playing defense, so my play is
Chelsea vs. Atletico draw + no goals scored from either side sits at about 7.3, while a 0-0 correct score is sitting at 6.0.
Ivanović over 3.5 yellow cards—he just finished serving his suspension for card accumulation, so he's itching to pick up another one. Cahill over 4.5 yellows—he isn't facing any suspension threats, unlike Luiz, who is right on the edge. Honestly, I think Cahill might end up picking up a few fouls himself instead of letting Luiz take the heat. Might even be worth looking at the overtime lines for yellow cards too.
Absolute value of the week right here. We watched Man United against Lazio, and honestly, they didn't even control the tempo properly. They basically just ran out of gas to scrape through that round. The old Fergie era is dead and buried, and let's be real—De Gea isn't having nights like that anytime soon. On the flip side, you’ve got a Man City side that is lightyears ahead and absolutely charging toward the title. I'm actually starting to question United's motivation levels; the Premier League is out of reach and I doubt they give a damn about the Europa League. That win over West Ham wasn't exactly a blueprint either—one goal from the center circle and a lucky deflection off a defensive error. Meanwhile, City is back to their dominant selves after that brief slump. They're playing at a Barca level again. They even dismantled Hull 2-0 away from home after getting a red card around the fifth minute.
I think that logic applies to Saturday against Arsenal too.
Arsenal-City 2 2.3
Arsenal just got shelled for six by Chelsea, lost 6-3 to City, and Liverpool absolutely tore them apart as well. Half the squad is currently in the training room with injuries, and unless someone besides Chiesa finds the back of the net, I don't see any way they're taking down City.
The Galaxy have definitely stepped up their game lately, but let's be real—it's way too late in the season to be fighting for a playoff spot. Plus, they’re going to be gassed from playing in the USA league midweek. LAFC isn't about to just roll over either.
LAFC is fresh and hungry. If Real Madrid doesn't beat Barca by at least three goals, the title race is basically back on level ground for them.
Not trying to act like a genius here, but I never bet against a team fighting for survival. Those are always the most unpredictable, nightmare matchups. At this rate, I wouldn't even touch this bet unless the Galaxy had zero mathematical chance of making the postseason.
Valencia-Ludogorets 6+ 9.0 (1:0) 1. Valencia won their last match 3-0 even while playing a man down. I'm thinking Ludogorets might play an open, entertaining game just to go out with some style after their European run, and Valencia shouldn't feel too much pressure since they hold such a massive advantage.
FC Barcelona - Manchester City x2 2.55 and Sergio Agüero to score 2.9 (2:1) I’m picturing a game pretty similar to yesterday's matchup between Bayern Munich and Arsenal FC, though I’d say FC Barcelona is a step below Bayern Munich, and Manchester City FC definitely has more depth than Arsenal FC when you look at the squad. Plus, Sergio Agüero is back from injury and he already knows exactly how to find the back of the net against FC Barcelona from his old days playing for Atletico Madrid.
Javier Mascherano to get a card 3.5 favorite That little Barca defender is going to have a nightmare trying to hold off the onslaught from his fellow countrymen—Agüero, Nasri, Silva, and Yaya.
Arsenal vs. Everton | Moneyline: Arsenal 2.0 (Score Prediction: 4-1) Yesterday, the odds on this were sitting at 1.75. Today, they tossed it into the bonus picks at 1.95, then had the nerve to bump it up another 0.5. Honestly, the FA Cup might be the only shot Arsenal has at actually lifting some silverware this season. I don’t see them going too crazy with the rotation either—maybe Fabianski or Vermalen get a look in, but that’s about it. Everton has been looking pretty decent this year, sure, but when you’re looking at Arsenal playing at home with 2.0 odds, and they aren't facing a heavy hitter like Chelsea, City, United, or Liverpool? They really shouldn't be dropping this one.
Bologna vs. Sassuolo | 1-2 | Sunday, Sept 7, 2014 (0:0) Sassuolo is basically losing to everyone right now—yeah, they’re sitting dead last, no doubt about that—but let's not ignore the facts. They actually pulled off a wild comeback from 0-2 down to win 4-2 against AC Milan, and they managed a 1-1 draw on the road against Napoli. Those are the only two results worth mentioning, honestly. On the other hand, Bologna is hovering dangerously close to the relegation zone, and to make matters worse, their star player just headed off to China. This feels like a massive opportunity to grab 3 points. I mean, if they can't find a way to beat these clowns, they might as well pack their bags and join them down in the second division.
Fiorentina vs. Lazio 1 2.0 (0:1) If Fiorentina actually wants a shot at catching Napoli—who are currently sitting 7 points ahead—they absolutely have to take this one. A win would pull them within 4 points. Both sides were grinding through EL action on Thursday; Fiorentina had to wrap things up against Eisenberg, while Lazio ended up in a 3-3 deadlock against that absolute powerhouse known as "Ludogorets." Honestly, I don't see much motivation for Lazio here other than pure spite. They aren't catching anyone in the Champions League, and frankly, it feels like they couldn't care less about the EL.
AC Milan vs. Juventus 2 2.25 (0:2) I’m only putting money down on this because AC Milan looks completely desperate right now. With Tevez and Llorente leading the charge for Juve, I just don't see how Milan's struggling defense is going to stop those attacks. Milan is missing Mario Balotelli, who is basically the only guy worth watching in that mess of a squad, and Keisuke Honda is stuck on the bench. I'm being a bit cautious with this one since Juventus holds such a massive lead at the top, though. To be honest, AC Milan has been wrecking my bankroll all season regardless of how I bet on them. If I bet against them, they scrape a draw or a win; if I bet on them, they lose. Here's hoping I can finally break this curse.
Everton, Arsenal, and Chelsea are all heavy favorites here, but honestly? The odds on a straight win look way too thin for my liking. I’m leaning toward more action in the second half instead. Stoke is basically a defensive wall, and we know Arsenal can be notoriously wasteful when they actually get chances. As for Everton vs. West Ham: Everton is still missing Lukaku, which is a massive blow for their scoring potential, plus I have a feeling the Hammers might just sit back and park the bus once they get what they need. Then there's Chelsea facing a Fulham side sitting at the bottom of the table—I’m expecting the classic Chelsea struggle where they bumble around before nicking a late winner. I’ve also got a gut feeling about a penalty or some drama in the first half.
Anyone got the scoop on this? Stromsgodset took a massive 15-0 hit last time out, and apparently, they were rolling out a squad of only six players plus the coaches.
Melo picks up a card? Odds are 2.7, making him the favorite here. Everyone knows Melo plays dirty; he’s basically asking for a red card at this point. So, I figured why stop at just one bet? Let's go bigger:
Penalty 3.6 + Red Card 3.6 + Chelsea win @ 2 odds = a massive 27 payout
Atletico missing:😁David Villa (forward, 22/11, 2nd scorer), Diego Costa (forward, 23/20 top scorer), Tiago (midfielder, 15/2), Filipe Luis (defender, 19/0), and Courtois (goalkeeper, 22/0)
Tamworth vs. Hyde: 1 at 1.5 or F2 at 2.3 (expecting 1-1) Looking at the matchup, we've got the 22nd versus the 24th in the league standings. Tamworth is sitting pretty with 27 points while Hyde is struggling down at 7. It’s pretty obvious on paper, right? Their last meeting back on January 25th was a convincing 3-0 away win for Tamworth, but let's be real—you can't get too cocky when you're dealing with the US fifth division. Anything can happen there.
Wednesday Stoke vs. Swansea: 1 at 2.6 (expecting 1-1) Swansea has been absolutely plagued by injuries all season. After that stellar run last year where they actually took home the cup, this season has been a total different story. They even let go of Laudrup, who, if you ask me, was the main reason they were so successful last season. Honestly, they've stayed somewhat decent despite the injury bug, but I think firing him might come back to haunt them. He really knew how to coach a squad that played beautiful football. On the other side, Stoke just beat Manchester City—which isn't exactly a shocker these days—and they put on quite a show against Liverpool too. All things considered, I think they have what it takes to take down Swansea.
FC Nordsjaelland vs. Astra Giurgiu | 1 - 2 | Odds: 2.8 (1-0)
So, Astra played a friendly against Strømsgodset yesterday and ended up dropping a 1-0 decision while picking up two red cards in the process. Meanwhile, Nordsjaelland hasn't even stepped on the pitch in a week. I’m calling this one, honestly. Between the fatigue levels for those Romanian guys and the fact that they likely have two players facing suspensions due to those reds, the edge goes to the Danes. If a small-town club from a place like Savannah could somehow pull off an upset against a top-tier Romanian side—which wouldn't exactly be a shock for the Danes either—then why not take the value here? The odds are just too good to pass up.
