RE: Draftkings Sneakily Raises Cash Game Rake
You're pretty much right. It's very hard for casual players to win. I used to spend time theorycrafting what I would do if I owned a DFS site (limit contests for each player, lower rake, single entry etc), but it's just not worth the time, the major sites won't listen to players.
Definitely not. Your ideas would be great for the small guy. I'm curious if you've ever played at playdraft.com? One of their main selling points is the winnings are a lot more distributed than on draftkings, FanDuel, etc. I've done it this season, it's a lot of fun and I've definitely had more success (nothing major, been doing $1-$5). But curious what your opinion on the site/idea is as a professional, and if it would be something professionals would switch over to?
It sounds fun, but not something I would mix in with my other DFS play. Snake drafts are too time consuming and I wouldn't be able to get enough money down to make it worth the time spent. Plus I don't really work on my projections til late Saturday night/early Sunday morning and I don't have any time to do anything other than work on my projections/other lineups/sites and register for those contests.
That's what I figured, which is exactly why the professionals haven't jumped on. Definitely more for fun on Sunday rather than trying to win big.
