Poker Entrepreneurs Launch DraftDay Daily Fantasy Sports Website with a Chance to Win $1 Million

Filed Under: Insurance News
Sep.27, 2011

CHICAGO, Sept. 27, 2011 /CHICAGOPRESSRELEASE.COM/ — Taylor Caby and Andrew Wiggins, the founders of CardRunners, the leading poker instructional website, today announced their move into the fantasy sports realm with the launch of DraftDay (www.draftday.com), a daily fantasy sports website complete with cash games, strategy blogs and a forum to serve as the central hub for daily fantasy sports enthusiasts.

In conjunction with the launch, the DraftDay Perfect Lineup contest will begin today, inviting users to draft the fantasy team with the exact top scoring players at each position to win the $1 million grand prize.

“Taylor and I started tossing around the idea of a fantasy sports website years ago, but the timing was never right,” said Wiggins. “After I won my MLB league last season, I took it as a sign that we needed to push the idea toward reality. DraftDay is a unique fantasy sports experience that you won’t find anywhere else. There’s no season long commitment and there’s always a draft available.”

DraftDay currently offers free and cash daily games for fantasy football and fantasy baseball. Unlike most fantasy leagues that bind you to your team for the entire season, DraftDay allows users to participate in multiple leagues every day, in head-to-head and multiple player games.

With the fate of the online poker industry still resting in legislator’s hands, Caby and Wiggins are confident that poker players can attribute the same skills to daily fantasy sports.

“There is a social aspect to fantasy sports that you also find in poker. It’s competitive, stats driven and an adrenaline rush. It’s also a great way to make a hobby into something really profitable,” said Wiggins. Caby agrees. “There’s nothing better than sweating out a ballgame knowing one or two key plays can earn you money and bragging rights.”

DraftDay was developed by some of the same people behind Hold’em Manager, an industry leading poker software company. Jim Varnon, the CEO of Hold’em Manager, is confident fantasy sports fans will appreciate DraftDay’s simple and intuitive platform.

“From the start, there was no detail too small when it came to the user experience on DraftDay. Our focus is on creating an enjoyable fantasy sports game for experts and novices alike,” said Varnon.

DraftDay endorsers include professional poker players Cole South and Brian Hastings, PokerNews’ Kristy Arnett, and on-air SiriusXM Fantasy Sports Radio personality Kay Adams.

The DraftDay Perfect Lineup

The DraftDay Perfect Lineup contest will begin today and will run weekly during the regular NFL season. Enter the fantasy team with the exact top scoring players at each position that week to win the $1 million grand prize. No entry fee is required. The top 25 entered teams will get paid weekly.

About DraftDay

DraftDay (www.draftday.com) is a daily fantasy sports website founded in 2011 to give sports fans a fun and challenging way to test their fantasy sports skills. DraftDay offers daily games for fantasy football, fantasy baseball, fantasy basketball and fantasy hockey with buy-ins ranging from no cost to $500. Players can participate in head-to-head or multiplayer games and enter numerous games in one day. The players who accumulate the highest amount of points for their fantasy teams can win real money. The DraftDay team has had previous success building the online video education and software businesses CardRunners and Hold’em Manager. All DraftDay games are legal in the U.S. and Canada, exempt from the 2006 UIGEA, using the same rules as season long fantasy leagues.

Filed Under: Insurance News
Sep.20, 2011

CHICAGO, Sept. 20, 2011 /CHICAGOPRESSRELEASE.COM/ — Questia, a part of Cengage Learning, helps students write better papers, faster, by making it easier to find, read and interact with quality information not usually found on the web. It’s also the largest online library of books, journals, magazines and newspaper articles with 4 million articles and 77 thousand books. Today, Questia announced the launch of its blog, Q&A, which features tips, how-to articles, and advice for the Questia community of high school, undergraduate and graduate students. Known for its trusted online research, Questia is a resource for the humanities and social sciences. Questia’s Q&A blog reaches beyond the Questia library and presents original content to motivate students in their day-to-day work, particularly when it comes to research paper tips.

“We offer exclusive tools that allow students to quickly search and take notes, plus automatically generate citations, footnotes, and bibliographies,” says Gary Jeppsen, Senior Product Manager of Questia. “Through our blog, we wanted to provide more casual content that would help students to stay motivated and be more efficient. Q&A is the answer. In addition to posting weekly, we’ll also be including issues of our newsletter in the blog so our readers can have all the latest research tidbits and product updates in one, easy location.”

A timely post, “Back to school tips: How to write a research paper,” provides research paper tips by reminding students of the steps required, from brainstorming and establishing goals, to not setting yourself up to fail. In another how-to post, “Top 10 mistakes when writing a research paper” students are warned of common missteps in the paper writing process. This post covers simple mistakes to big blunders with links to relevant examples.

One of the most popular features of Questia is the ability to read books online for free. In a Q&A blog post, “5,000 books! Read books online free at Questia.com,” Questia shares how even non-subscribers may access over 5,000 completely free books online. These books range from classic novels to rare books and are available to be read anytime, by anyone, from cover to cover. 

Q&A is divided into “Education news,” “Student resources” and “Subjects” categories. “Subjects” is further broken down so readers can find specific content based on their academic needs. For example, Communications and Journalism blog posts cover such topics as asking who do you trust for online resources and how good writing can go bad, and Psychology blog posts cover such topics as how to improve active listening skills and what the organization of your desk means about you.

Filed Under: Insurance Tips
Oct.01, 2010

The Company was pleased to accept some of the oversubscriptions from investors and increase the size of the placement from A$10 million to A$14 million.

RBS Morgans Corporate Limited was Lead Manager to the Capital Raising.

QRxPharma intends to use the proceeds from this capital raising to fund a Phase 3 labeling claim study that will enable the company to make marketing and advertising claims in Europe and the U.S. for MoxDuo IR, an immediate release Dual-Opioid® pain therapy. The funds will also be used to support the company as it files its New Drug Application (NDA) with the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and advances its Marketing Authorisation Application (MAA) in Europe in CY2011.

The additional funds raised by increasing the size of the placement will enable the company to further progress the development programs of MoxDuo CR (controlled release) and MoxDuo IV (intravenous).

The Placement shares will be allotted in two tranches with Tranche 1, comprising approximately 3.8 million shares, to be allotted on Thursday 7 October 2010. The allotment of Tranche 2, comprising approximately 12.6 million shares, is subject to shareholder approval at the company’s AGM to be held on Monday 8 November 2010. These shares are expected to be allotted on Tuesday 9 November 2010.

The Company will also implement a Share Purchase Plan (SPP) to allow its retail shareholders to participate in the capital raising for up to A$15,000 per shareholder at A$0.85 per share. The Record Date for participation in the SPP is Thursday 30 September 2010. The details of the SPP will be sent to shareholders in due course.  

QRxPharma CEO and Managing Director, Dr John Holaday commented, “We are encouraged by the strong level of support we received for this offering as we progress towards the commercialization of our Dual Opioid portfolio of products. QRxPharma is pleased to be one of the few Australian companies with a drug in the final stages of clinical development.”

“MoxDuo has the potential to revolutionize the management of pain from the hospital to the home. We have administered MoxDuo IR to well over 500 patients with moderate to severe pain following bunionectomy or total knee replacement surgery, and data indicate excellent pain relief with a 50-75% reduction in moderate to severe side effects. Results from our Phase 3 studies set the stage for NDA filing with the FDA, and once approved, we anticipate the launch of MoxDuo IR into the US$12 billion marketplace in the US and Europe in 2012,” he added.  

Further details regarding the timetable for the Placement and Share Purchase Plan are included in the Annexure to this announcement.
