Can You Win Big Money Playing Daily Fantasy Sports? 

Playing daily fantasy sports can make you a lot of money if you are patient. Right now, with daily fantasy sports being quite a new concept, you need to look for sites offering overlays (tournaments where there is more prize money than entry fees). One of the daily fantasy sports sites regularly offering huge overlays is DraftKings.

You are probably not going to win big money playing daily fantasy sports all at once though…it takes solid regular returns to build your bankroll. There are people that make a great income playing daily fantasy sports full time or even part time.

There are some large tournaments that you can enter that will win you a top prize such as $1,000, $2,000 or even $15,000, but that is like saying if you play the lottery long enough you may win the jackpot as well. Draftkings and FanDuel regularly offer such large tourneys for each sports season. Players that make a lot of money at daily fantasy sports don’t usually make their income in tourneys with 5000 entrants though, because even if you have a great team, you still need to beat 4999 opponents.

The players that make a lot of money playing daily fantasy sports play smaller head to head games or small field games and scout the opposing talent to decide where the “fish” are. The premise is very similar to online poker. You can play a head to head tournament ranging from $2 to $500 a game, and in the end, playing head to head games are simple 50/50 odds – You either win, or you lose. Playing head to head, even if your team played average, you still have that 50% chance that your opponent’s team was worse.
