ShowMeYaTDs Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 I always hear about people saying someone is ranked top 10 DFS player in the world.. What are some sites that rank DFS players.. Who is considered the best DFS players in the world? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riffraff Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 You Aren't Good Enough to Win Money Playing Daily Fantasy Football - BloombergAnalysis from Rotogrinders conducted for Bloomberg shows that the top 100 ranked players enter 330 winning lineups per day, and the top 10 players combine to win an average of 873 times daily. The remaining field of approximately 20,000 players tracked by Rotogrinders wins just 13 times per day, on average. Go big or go home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rimmytose Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 To your question, you can get rankings info from rotogrinders. They track DFS stats for those that sign up and link their accounts. Whether or not all the big name pros are on there I'm not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slambo Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 On Fanduel, rotogrinders ranks maxdalury #1. Ranking is based on total wins in paid contests. This maxdalury person has just under 3 million wins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valhalla Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 I'm going to play this year, all year to see how I do. I'm not going to invest too much. The way I look at it is - you just have to hit it right one time out of 16 weeks (won't play the last one...). So far the last 2 weeks I've lost $30. If one of my dang RB's would have done anything in one contest (and I had good matchups), I wouldn't have lost anything (hit the next tier). Looking at the lineups that won, they didn't do anything too crazy. I'm sure it was a predicted one reading the article Riffraff linked, but whatever...It's still fun.

gilthorp Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 It's like pressing the ALL/ALL/ALL for a trifecta and hitting it. Hey look at me - I am a winner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slambo Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 I'm playing mostly 50/50's with 100 slots at the $1, 2, & $5 levels. Also entering Double-Ups, basically a 50/50 contest with higher payouts but fewer winners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doobwaa Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 "winnings" isn't the same as "investment".... the tv commercials show guys that have $$$$ in "winnings" ....the real story is in how much they spent to "win" the shown amounts. also, many of the most successful "players" aren't single people,,,, they are more like businesses with multiple people behind the scenes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avernus Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 I have trouble playing any contest in Draft Kings without seeing the name CONDIA up there... I played a game last week that was a best of 3 and he beat me for first by less than 10 points....I hate that guy.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irish Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 I've started 4 lineups the last 2 weeks and am up $40 so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
injendsm Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 (edited) "winnings" isn't the same as "investment".... the tv commercials show guys that have $$$$ in "winnings" ....the real story is in how much they spent to "win" the shown amounts. also, many of the most successful "players" aren't single people,,,, they are more like businesses with multiple people behind the scenes. One of the FanDuel/DraftKings commercials I've seen lately has a guy with the name "beermakersfan" talking about the money he's won in DFS. What they fail to mention is the fact that he is one of the main contributors over at Rotogrinders. Here's one of his articles for proof: https://rotogrinders.com/articles/beer-s-mlb-six-pack-tuesday-september-22nd-840838 The one that makes me laugh the most is the guy that claims to have won over $2 million dollars even though he only deposited $35. He's either ridiculously lucky, or their marketing is complete horsehonda. Edited September 23, 2015 by injendsm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dope man Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 I already walk the line of alienating my wife with the local leagues I am in....if I did this I would be divorced before I knew she was gone. Not what I play fantasy football for anyway, for me it's just a way to see old friends every once in a while and talk smack and drink a few beers. But to each their own! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irish Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 It's always about you, lol Yup, I could try to tell ya about someone else's DFS history. There's this guy named Sofa King Awesome and well he's the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShowMeYaTDs Posted September 23, 2015 Author Share Posted September 23, 2015 Thanks for all the input.. After i posted this I found the site rotogrinders.. They seem to have the best rating system going. There is a great DFS podcast called the daily fantasy football Edge.. It is basically all top ranked players on the pod... But it seems like the easiest way to build up playing DFS is the multipliers and 50/50's.. I also have had success in the 20 man leagues that pay top 3.

lennykravitz2004 Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Probably won't matter to most people, but you might want to read some of these experiences before signing on with a site like Draft Kings. Sites like Draft Kings and Fan Dual remind me of "3 Card Monte". http://www.bbb.org/boston/business-reviews/internet-gaming/draftkings-inc-in-boston-ma-134635/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stethant Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 The site employees, at a minimum, bet on insider information on each others' sites. Translation: you are being cheated. Daily play is unregulated and you're being taken for suckers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riffraff Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 And fantasy sites upon fantasy sites promote these things. Guilty by association? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
