funny all the guys in the ads on TV deposit $10 and win 2.7 million

 

doesn't seem to work that way in real life

 

i started googling some of the names of my opponents in the head to heads and 50-50's

 

half the guys are pro's that are affiliated with many online roto sites

 

about to pull the plug on this experiment

Yeah, I'm wondering when all the guys who do this for a living will force out all the recreational players and it will be a pro only thing

the guys that do this for a living... do they have degree from places like MIT and are they math wizards with "systems"?

 

if so i'm wondering if i can purchase a system to make me good at fantasy...? right now i dont play fantasy at all i just prefer sports betting

With the money they make I doubt they would ever sell their info, algorithm, etc.

you might be right. But they would probably make a ton of money writing a book if it had a lot of good info in it. People love buying books that teach them how to make money especially if they are able to hype up the book.

Yeah , most are and do from my understanding. No way they'd sell an exact system. I bought a few that were useless. They'd just have the top salary guys with the most points for the day and it was useless

just like with poker , the only ones selling books and making instructional videos are guys that crushed for awhile , the game catches up and passés them and they are forced to sell their now worthless info on the strength of their former success.

 

Like sports betting and stocks, fantasy sports is a market. Why would you canabalize your own business by selling current info that you use to make money? The answer is , you wouldn't.
