How is liquidity trending on daily fantasy sites for NBA? For players who play regularly, are you seeing more or less players than 3, 6 and 12 months ago?
With the uncertainty surrounding offshore books we thought it'd be a good opportunity to use our vast amount of data and modeling experience to try to beat daily fantasy sports - but there doesn't seem to be enough liquidity to make it worthwhile.
I'm biased as the owner of the site, but I think it's a good idea. You aren't going to sniff what you can make as a top sports bettor, but no one really knows what's going to happen in the future in this market. It's a lot bigger than it was 1 year ago, and way bigger than it was 2 years ago.
I have a friend who wasn't playing DFS 1.5 years ago. He moved out of the country to play poker. Since then he has been grinding DFS and is making enough money to where he can support himself just doing DFS (I would guess mid 5 figures+) a year.
Keep in mind you don't just need to play on one site. If you develop a good methodology to winning on DraftDay then you should be able to beat other sites (you are really only limited by your ability to manage lineups near game-time. That is the reason why we have made it simple to manage lots of lineups and make changes quickly across teams).
