> The difference between the D.F.S. high roller and the blackjack whale, of course, is that the whale is trying to take millions from a multinational casino corporation and not from the honeymooners from Fresno who are betting away at the $5 tables.

I don't understand this bit. What's the difference? The casino is taking money from those honeymooners; and it's paying it out to the whale. The whale negotiates rules that are different than those that apply to the honeymooners. How is this different than the DFS whales?

Is the only difference that FanDuel/DraftKings allow players to engage in one-on-one challenges, vs. playing against the house?
