Loving Daily Fantasy Sports on DraftKings


No, I haven't quit poker, but I have developed a passion for daily fantasy sports in recent month, moving much of my focus there.

At first I thought the game it was a total crapshoot once I started playing baseball in June, until I figured out that really it was baseball that was more of a crapshoot. (Consider that hitters only bat four or five times a game, compared to running backs and QBs who touch the ball 20 or more times a game -- hence reduced variance.)

Now that football season has started, I've been doing much better, and had I not made a couple of last-minute switches last Saturday I would have won about $15,000 on DraftKings. Ouch.

I see why many poker players have gravitated toward daily fantasy sports, as there are some similarities between the games -- playing against the field instead of the house, making +EV moves and watching them win out over time.

If you haven't tried it yet, now is a great time to start in the heart of football season. Click the banner below to get a free entry in one of DK's Millionaire Maker tournaments. Somebody has to win. Might as well be you or me!

Glad you haven't quit but this was ages ago. Do you still play poker and need a poker mentor?
