Poker Concepts in Daily Fantasy Sports

The guys over at DraftStreet are really onto something big. The site continues to grow and the action is really picking up. You can see how much money is being thrown around by looking at their Monthly Leaderboard. After playing on the site and monitoring their main chatbox, the parallels with Daily Fantasy Sports and poker are pretty strong. The game has staying power due to the correct balance of skill and variance, along with the unlimited room to improve your skills.

Long-Run concept

Daily Fantasy Sports allows skilled fantasy players to test their skills over many iterations. With full-season fantasy there is too much luck involved to really make a consistent profit. It is almost like playing one orbit at a poker table. But, when you can play in multiple leagues every day you really have a chance to minimize variance and turn skill into profit.

Gaining Edge

As with poker, you need to be making better investments (bets) than your opponents. DraftStreet player salaries are pretty accurate, but the best players will tell you there is plenty of room to gain an edge in the salary cap games. To find the best investments you need to look into the match ups each day: righty/lefty splits, batter vs. pitcher historical splits, weather/stadium conditions, and the overall quality of the opponent are all aspects to consider when valuing players and building your team.

The equivalent to a multitable tournament is the Guaranteed Prize Pool (GPP) league on DraftStreet. This seems to be the fastest growing aspect of DraftStreet in terms of popularity. These leagues range from 40-275 entries with prize pools in the thousands, and they have been offering multiple GPPs each day. There is endless opportunity for strategy in the GPP leagues, but the general idea is to maximize the upside potential of your team as only the top 8-15 percent get paid, but if you finish at the top you are looking at a nice-sized prize.

With the lack of options for playing poker these days, perhaps daily fantasy can fill a void. Currently there are players making thousands of dollars, which is a nice stream of extra income. With the way action has been picking up lately, there could be opportunity for the top players to make more than just “extra” income.
