I’m going to throw a very helpful idea for spreading your bets around and reducing variance in your bankroll: Playing on multiple sites as a daily fantasy strategy .
Everyone who chooses to play daily fantasy contests should have at least two different sites where they feel comfortable playing. It is sometimes preferred play at sites with a similarity in stats and rosters, but you guys may find other sites better suited to your tastes. Go ahead and split your bankroll in half between two sites. This accomplishes two things with your daily fantasy strategy: 1) it allows you to play different opponents which spreads risk and 2) if the two sites are structured just a little differently, it will allow you to select different fantasy players and create different rosters on each site. If you choose to only play on a single site, there’s usually a clear single best roster for that site’s game structure. However, if you spread your bets across multiple sites, the correct roster on one site may be different from another site. Spread the risk to reduce the bankroll variance.
So, how does this daily fantasy strategy work? Through the pricing system of the players which are a little different on each site. Some sites use an average season fantasy score, while others use a weighted dollar salary amount. The two different player pricing methods often make a fantasy player a good choice on one site, but not such a good choice on the other site. Many times you will have different rosters on each fantasy site, but both will be the optimum roster for that particular site’s pricing mechanism. So, if Kobe Bryant pulls up with a tweaked hamstring in the first three minutes of the game, you might get killed on one site, but your games on the other site will still be in good shape because you decided Kevin Durant was a better SF choice under that site’s particular pricing system.
While this won’t always save your day, it does help reduce risk and control huge swings in your bankroll. Good luck.
