I've been placing in a lot of tournaments using a simple and obvious strategy of starting with the defense and working the roster dyslexically. Working backwards helps because I search for the lowest price deals at K and DEF, leaving me extra in the one category I load up, which is WR. A lot of people don't read the scoring rules and don't know that most if not all of the leagues are 1/2 PPR. That can make a huge difference especially with a low priced, pass catching RB. Just thought I'd get a conversation started, haven't posted on SBR in a long time.

This can not be fixed. In sports betting a player or two can change the outcome of a game; in DFS that is not possible.

It is gambling. Instead of gambling on teams, you are gambling on individual players and because this is outside of orthodox sports gambling, it's acceptable. Fantasy sports gambling also has the advantage of building off something that's been promoted by powerful players, including major sport leagues. Harder to call something gambling and illegal when you've spent a bunch of years promoting it--MLB and NFL have their hands in fantasy sports.
