RE: Draftkings Sneakily Raises Cash Game Rake

in #sports7 years ago

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.

Sort:  

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.
