Found your fantasy football posts after seeing your Gabriel's Horn post and going back through old stuff. I actually meant to reply to your first fantasy football post but it is past payouts so commenting is frozen, I guess I'll just post it here.
Wanted to clarify something: the "scandal" with Ethan Haskell, the draftkings employee who won a large tournament on fanduel turned out to be a non issue. He submitted his fanduel lineup (immutable after it locks) then an hour after lock checked draftkings and publicly posted ownership %.
There was no insider trading, but unfortunately that is the way of scandals: news of it is all over tv and page 1 of every newspaper, while news of him being cleared is buried and sometimes never released.
Anyway, I play DFS for a living, hit me up in the steemit.chat or somewhere else so we can chat about fantasy, or math for that matter, was a math PhD student before dropping out for poker. I started an introduction to math proofs series, you could do one for calculus and/or other subjects too, could maybe even collaborate on some stuff. Anyway, seems like we have a lot in common, hope I see you in the chat!
Yeah! We should definitely chat soon! On both math and fantasy! I'm branching out more into the DFS realm this season, admittedly very nervous to do so. I am going very low stakes as I am trying just to prove out my model for now. I'm sure it will need tweaking as the weeks progress and variables I am using are rendered insignificant after a more careful study.
It makes sense the media would twist the whole "scandal" into something it wasn't. I suppose it helped me realize I was playing more casually than I should have....DFS was just the side attraction for me the past few years to my season long leagues. Hoping to change that this year. I did start a #fantasyfootball channel, might be fun to get some banter going on Sundays during the season!
I'll give you a few tips to get you started. I played season long for years and the first season I spent transitioning to DFS was losing, but once I figured it out in late 2014 I started doing really well, well enough to focus entirely on DFS full time. Football season is great, I'll hop in the fantasyfootball channel too
