Daily
Fantasy Sports 101
The days of placing bets through your bookie are over. It’s illegal, and let’s face it, you don’t
win. Daily fantasy sports is one of the
fastest growing industries in America.
Its far more exciting that laying $100 on the Lions to cover, and it’s
also MORE PREDICTABLE. You also cant
bet $27 on any team and win $1,000,000 with that one initial $27 bet. The best of the best make a truly good living
on just playing daily fantasy, the more effort and time you put in, the better
the reward. The most important factor is
: KNOWLEDGE IS EVERYTHING
- Pray on the masses of the lazy and uneducated. This is not a crap shoot, as luck does play a role in this, it’s never a coin flip. The same people consistently win money for a reason, RESEARCH and STRATEGY. There will be a high percentage of players who will pick their favorite players for the week, or make the backbone of their weekly lineup on a “Hunch”. 9 out of 10 times, this WILL NOT work. If QB X plays well in stadiums, and is going up against a banged up secondary, that makes him an intriguing and possible good play. If QB Y is coming off a 5 TD performance, but is terrible outdoors, and has a bad matchup, he is not. You would be amazed at the amount of people who will take QB Y just for the sake that he’s coming off a huge game. Do some research, (Or I will do some of it for you) , get an advantage against the other players, and LET EVERYBODY ELSE MAKE THE MISTAKE. You do not have to be perfect to profit, you just have to make more informed, and better choices than the majority.
- KNOW THE FORMAT. There are basically 3 types of games to play.
HEAD to HEAD: You make up
your best lineup staying within your salary cap. Your opponent makes his best lineup staying
within the salary cap. At the end of the
day, whoever has the most points, wins the other guys “buy-in” for that
specific game. You can play someone head
to head for $1 all the way up to $500.
(As expected, the higher the amount, the better your opponent is going
to be, but not always)
50/50: These are popular
for a reason, you don’t have to be perfect to get paid. If 100 people are in the tournament, you only
have to be 49th best to double your money. 100 people pay $100, 1st place
through 50th get $200, 51st through 100th get
nothing. AGAIN, LET THE OTHERS MAKE THE
MISTAKES. These tourneys are good for
“Safe Lineups”. Just as long as all your
players contribute just enough, you will win.
You don’t need a running back to go for 200 yards and 3 tds, you just
have to a lineup that is a good balance.
It’s a great way to double up your initial investment.
Big Field Tourneys: Here
is the games for the gamblers and dreamers.
These are also the most fun.
1000s of people enter the same tourney.
Your lineup against everybodys.
It is NOT easy for anyone to consistently finish in the money in this
format. However, all it takes is ONE
really good/ lucky lineup to win HUGE money.
The 1st place prize in these tournaments are amazing, usually
anywhere from $15,000 to $1,000,000. The
top 10% all get paid as well, and the prize varies depending on the field
size. I made most of my fantasy money
past baseball season doing Large Tourneys.
I did not win the majority of the time, but when I did, it was big. The risk is worth the reward in my opinion on
these, it really makes it exciting.
Other than the lottery, I don’t know of any way to bet $27 and win a
million.
These are THE BASICS you need to know to play. Strategies vary, find which one works for
you, and profit. Again, you can’t go
into any of these blind, the more knowledge you have and the more research you
do, the more you will profit.
