1.3% made 91% of the cash? Yeah that shyt is a scam loaded with inside info or some shyt. No way that low a percentage should make that much of the winnings.

@ at all those bets in 1-day.
Dude probably looks like Artie Lange, sits around betting alll day & eating junk food.
No, He has a computer script do this for him. He's a professional. You have to think a little deeper. That's why people have no chance. People are writing algortithms to optimize lineups and uploading hundreds of lineups. Of course your average guy picking a few lineups while working a day job, barely watching any games, and studying rotoworld has no shot.
Are computer scripts bad for daily fantasy sports?

In this era I wish I was a computer programmer
I've got the statistics background if only I knew how to make algorithms with the hundreds of variables I'd be caking
I've been trying to get more into statistics.
I took Stat 101/102 in college but I know I need a bit more. Been working on an NFL/NBA regression model for a while. Any advice?
As for programming......I've been thinking about taking this

I hope so...
Honestly if they ever make sports betting legal I may be worth it to just go a head and spend even more time on getting a model together. With all the money in the market from it being legalized I know guys like haralabob voulgaris are licking their chops. It would probably make it a lot easier to make money from.
Honestly I'm about to pull out my old textbooks. Probability & Statistics and Econometrics were good to a nikka. Need to be taking advantage of that knowledge. The good thing is a lot of what those courses teach is online too. I used a program called Stata in college about to play around with R since I heard it was free. I need to refresh my memory on a few things. I imagine attaching values to the variables being a bytch though.

I used JMP in college and actually pulled that out to put data in. I have a NFL & NBA model I've built in Excel in the meantime until I really learn re-learn everything. They're pretty good but they're really basic.
I have SPSS but I've never used it. Yeah I've definitely heard about Stata and R. I've been in the process of taking some online classes. Even went to a JMP seminar the other day.
I pulled out all my Stat books a while back.

I'm going to pull the numbers they've spent on advertising and get it to the board. Won't be surprised if they've reached $20 million or more since the start of the season

lol @ this thread.
yea, they need should have handled the situation a little better.
But yall are letting the media play with you.
This story went way out of control.
Besides...for the most part, if your bankroll isnt larger than $x,xxx you should be playing cash games to slowly make enough money where you can take a chance on these tournaments.
The DFS companies did a horrible job on marketing though....FD and DK may lose their spot as top dogs to someone else (yahoo?) who has a better grip on things.
This shyt set gambling back a ton...
...gambling should just be flat out legal...and it was probably close.
Oh well.
