Essential Strategies for Winning at Daily Fantasy Sports

For anyone that enjoys fantasy sports and wants to learn more. A must read for someone that is just getting started in DFS.

"Essential Strategies for Winning at Daily Fantasy Sports" is an excellent introductory primer to the new "daily" fantasy sports phenomena. Due to the newness of daily fantasy sports, there are few, if any, other books that educate the reader in the unique rules and strategies of most daily fantasy sports (football, baseball, basketball, hockey) and noting critical differences between daily and traditional fantasy sports competitive strategies.After a short introduction to put everything into the appropriate context, the author quickly moves to the meat of the book and that is teaching a number of strategies to enable the reader to win consistently and profit in daily fantasy sports. Even though the book contains dozens of mathematical or "quant" strategies, perhaps its most useful recommendation is always emphasizing that playing daily fantasy sports is a combination of both "science" and "art", and continuously reminding the reader to "not to lose sight of the forest for the proverbial mathematical trees," as the book convincingly points out success will always involve a combination of both.If there is one small shortcoming, it's that the author doesn't make available a download version (in Excel perhaps) of all the formulas used in the book. However, this criticism is very minor as the formulas are very straightforward and should be simple for anyone with even the most basic understanding of Excel or other spreadsheets to easily replicate for personal use.To conclude, I highly recommend this book and if the author is reading this review hope to see a follow-up to this book containing more advanced strategies!!

This is a great book for beginning DFS players. I really like the concise explanation on how to create your own projection model. Makes me think this book should be worth more than what it's currently priced in. The book gives you a bit of history of the DFS and then goes to a lot of info such as projection models to Meta game stuff. It has game-type and sport-specific advice too. This is truly a super system.

I really enjoyed this book. The author gives actionable advice on ways to improve your Daily Fantasy Sports skills in a very clear manner. If you have never played Daily Fantasy Sports before or are coming from a season long perspective, this is a great book to pick up. Along with all of the great strategy advice, the author also includes a very interesting section on the history of the DFS industry.

History, strategy, projection modelling and bankroll management are all covered well. This is an excellent primer to learn about DFS before diving into a more targeted single sport book.

For anybody who is serious about daily fantasy sports, this book is recommended for you. It has everything you need in order to start winning money(if you can become a profitable player). This book has me motivated to improve in every aspect of my game.

Very detailed book on concepts you can't find anywhere. This is a very good book if you plan on beating the competition. Right up there with the Jonathan Bales series.

Great info for those that love fantasy sports.

Good read....variety of different factors covered and the author seems knowledgeable. My first book of this type so noting to co,mp are it to but well written.....
