Waging the war on wagering

pretty sour subject.. not sure I was to lay it all out right here, right now.

 

Ya... It's been a good run.. They have enough money to tie it up a year or two and in the mean time I'll play till I can't play anymore.

But it is a game of skill... For the record.

 

Why do I need the government to tell me what I can and cannot do, so long as I'm not hurting anyone or myself. I mean, seriously when is enough, enough .. I can bet on the State lotteries, horses, local pool games. Folks need to chill out this is Fantasy football..

 

Chump vs knucklehead.. Oh the irony.

You and I go head to head in a tournament, the limit on entries is 100 a piece. If you haven't been playing much if any DFS then I'll probably mow you down, period. Just like the horde of "sharks" that I see finish ahead of the heard on the weekly basis. I export these f**k**ers lineups when the week is complete and their methods obviously work consistently. These guys are better than everyone else, period. And I'm better than your average Joe, but not as good as the top sharks. I know this for a fact based on weeks upon weeks of exporting everyone's results and grading each user.. Imacros is your buddy ;)

So no, I'm not watching Rounders and coming up with my assessment. It's based on numbers that I personally put together in small data sets... Yes small but what I noticed was more than proof enough that some guys really are making a living kicking the avergae joes ass on the daily. They use volume in large tournaments and use algos to create optimal variance across 100's of entries. And for head to heads, they don't seem to have an edge on me, but there again, so far it's a small data set.

 

Its not about research, it's about strategy. There isn't a game play strategy in regular betting.. but there is in DFS.

 

In regular betting you can look at the opening lines, then the movement and use that as an indicator where you may want to put your money. Then a team that shouldn't win, wins, and everyone screams "upset".. this is why heads up sports is illegal to bet on at my local pool hall.

In DAILY fantasy football you need to use your knowledge of a players perceived value to your advantage. If "the crowd" is in love with player XYZ then you'll want to fade him. If a top DB is covering a hot name, you'll want to look to the secondary WR. This and about 20 other thing I checkoff for each pick. So I guess it's a combination of research, strategy and ya in some cases luck. Like getting the right combinations for the millionaire winning.
