Quote:I've played quite a bit mostly during NBA season. I feel like the NBA daily leagues have the least amount of luck involved.



There are too many random, unpredictable injuries in football that could cost you a chunk of your bankroll over something you couldn't plan for.


My main advice to you is to do your research. The people you are putting your money up against are most certainly doing theirs.


The goal is to know how many points per dollar you are aiming for For example, DraftKings, a score of 150 will put you on the brink of cashing in GPPs (Guaranteed Payout Pools). You are given 50,000 in salary to build your roster, so you are aiming for guys to get 3x their value. I picked Chad Henne as my Week One QB because he was 5,000 (the lowest possible price for a QB). He ended up scoring something like 18.9 points or something. Henne getting 18.9 points with a 5,000 price tag is more valuable than Manning getting 25 points with a 9,000 price tag.


Always consider using backups/injury replacements because their values are lower than what their workload should produce. It's a good way to get "3x value" and using leftover money on studs. The price for players set at the beginning of the week and don't change. Follow the injury report Sunday morning and be aware of all game-time decisions.

I agree about nba. It's also the game that's the most fun.


Double up on the research thing. I went in thinking id be able to dominate because I was fairly knowledgable in basketball. Found out quickly I needed to go much more in depth. The key for basketball is projecting minutes which is easy for some teams and impossible for others, looking at you Bucks. Once you do that you can use fantasy points per minute to see what players have a good chance to outperform their salary.
