The 2014 Sochi Winter Games are no exception to this theory but a prime example of it. The Sochi games come at least to this author mind as a dud.

court case. These two cases have been precedents for the slew of cases that have been and will be brought up against daily fantasy. However, recently it seems that the law has been leaning the other way when dealing with daily fantasy.
