Daily Fantasy Sports Anybody?
Hi. I play a lot of daily NBA or MLB, depending on what's running at usually Yahoo, but a little bit at Draft Kings and was wondering if anybody else did this. Maybe exchange tips and perspectives if anyone else does this. I have a lot of fun with it (I only play $1 games, nothing crazy), but sometimes I get my head a little too deep in specific match-ups and miss big on different angles. Anyways, anyone else play?

Not to toot my own horn but I’ve always been pretty good at fantasy Football. Thus my 2 league championships in the BM leagues.
Didn’t take Long to find out and start reading about how something like 80% of the winnings were being won by like 1% of players. Usually either by people cheating with inside information(ex. Fan duel/draft king employees giving their friends information on lineup statistics and probabilities) or with the unlimited entries people would drop like 50 rosters setting them up to at least win something or by using alogorithms and software that gave them huge advantages and I stopped.
It wasn’t just me either, I had a few friends that would consistently win and it also just stopped for them.
I know FD and DK and tried to crack down but there’s not much they can do. Personal recommendation is to stay away from daily fantasy.
I've never tried a running league before. My buddy said I should hop in his NBA one next season and I think I'll give it a go. Mostly, I've grown accustomed to looking at stuff day to day and I have a bad feeling that I'll be "the sucker at the table" for the draft. I feel your pain @akritenbrink. I never got paid for the last small March Madness bracket that I won. Granted it was a small pool and only going to be like $50 (at a time when $50 was a little more disposable) and because other people were "disappearing" I let a couple of people off the hook, but that's why you put the money in an envelope at the beginning. Lame.
