A friend of mine recently contacted me regarding possibly setting up some kind of algorithmic/semi-algorithmic betting at one of these fantasy league sites.

I have very little knowledge with respect to sports betting but I did make a decent amount of money playing poker and I work as a software developer.

That said, I have some questions that I thought some of you could answer perhaps:

1) Does anyone have experience on these sites? Is this already being done to a great extent? Basically, I am wondering if the fantasy league scene is still quite soft or if it is like the current poker scene and is swamped with sharks.

2) Do you guys think this is worthwhile/doable/beatable?

3) Are there any obvious sources of info (i.e. some site dedicated to fantasy league strategy like 2+2, and not some gimmicky stuff but actual math-based strategy equivelent to the stuff that is posted here for poker)

4) Any other comments

Thanks in advance.

Well, I realize that there are already people doing this. The question is how saturated the market is... Would love to get some info on this.

It's beatable, but I'd expect to fail given your questions.

Most sports winners aren't dumb enough to give away +EV info on the internet.
