Whats the most anyone's won in Fan Duel or Draft Kings?

[3peet]

Don't play it. However I'm curious what are people winning with this site. I can't imagine there people winning in the thousands let alone hundreds.

I think MaxDalury or RayOfHope is the biggest winner of all time.

Both in the 3-5 million range.

Then obviously there are the guys who win the big 2 million dollar tournaments but I wouldn't really count them as that is just a lottery.

Obviously like anything gambling/market related, most people come in below where the zero sum is.

That Max guy plays an enormous amount of lineups.

I think Defying said that he won first place, or a whole bunch of money just a few weeks or a month ago.

i want to know the most someone won on that posts on this website

 

[Daigo23]

I won 12 dollars lol... it's harder than they make it sound because of the salary cap but can see getting lucky a few times. i came in 1076 place out of 38k and won 6 dollars...pfft lol

I won 10k for first place in fantasy baseball moonshot it was 3$ gpp 100k total entries was 38,715

The biggest joke is there is so much money on the bottom they pay out so many spots so so much of the pool goes towards the bottom

As for guys like max they are ex stock brokers or ex poker players that invest money into it

example nfl has a guarantee 6million

max entries 500 at $20 a piece

they will invest 10k into it to turn a profit

using different combinations and coding

If that guy could only play 1 lineup, he probably wouldn't win shit..

I love playing people heads up .

I put in 1 lineup last week in the $ 3 , $ 100,000 for first contest. Scored 217 points and won $ 9 . Finished 13,000th place .. Its not that easy to score 217 points, but couldn't sniff a top prize

5.00 football contest and won 500.00, many little prizes 15-25.00, i play very small it is a great way to pass the time for me

2 seaons ago i won a little over $300 one night in nhl ... i ended up right around 50 / 50 with my wins / losses / withdrawls / deposits by the end of the season ... $3,000 +/- . It wasn't really worth it.. i played nhl once this season & won $25, whatever!

always seemed to me more like work than fun

 

[Mr_Mark]

I won $80 I think one time... never more than $100. Rarely anything above $20... but I usually dont wager more than $10 a contest

it starts off as fun work, but after a while it gets old and frustrating

 

[arniesarmy]

Never have played nor do I have any interest to. No one can convince it isn't rigged or can't be rigged. In gambling, you know the line beforehand. In fantasy, you don't know the other lineups. You can't convince me that the employees, their friends, computer whizs, etc., can't flood bigger pools or even past post. Saying that, I have a friend who did win $13000 on afternoon baseball two years ago. I assume he's lost that back.

I usually win a minute or two of piece of mind when I click the channel controller
to turn off those annoying Draft King & Fan Dual commercials.

 

[Hamilbet]

$250.00

$1-$2 entries only.

Tournaments only.

Maybe 5-10 a week

NFL is definitely fun, I think that is something that will always remain popular if the legal picture stays the same. It just lends itself to a lot of fan engagement, the player pool for NFL is so big you can get in tons of different games, etc

NBA is pretty much work though. Similar to the time needed to put into trading stocks or options. Player role/injury fluidity really changes fast since there are games every night, I don't know why anyone would find this fun. I enjoyed it at first but now I pretty much just do it because it's a hard way to make easy money. I'm a big NBA fan but there is nothing fun about being at your computer at 6:45 waiting to see of Bradley Beal and DeMarre Carroll are out so you can deploy their backups.

MLB I can't comment on too much, I don't follow baseball at all or find the sport entertaining. I do know it lends itself well to DFS because you can stack lineups in tournaments pretty easily and lineups are released hours in advance so you don't need to keep up to the minute injury info. Just isn't my thing and I'm not going to play something just for the hell of it cause I'd just lose.

Golf is actually huge in DFS. But I don't play that either. A lot of people seem to like it though.

Fun is very subjective. Some people find blackjack, slots, the lottery, scratch tickets or craps fun, I don't know why, but they do.
