0 Subject: DFS data - useless one vs profitable one

Posted by: Fort1_dude - [2545617] Mon, May 01, 2017, 09:00

Hi guys,
Everyone can see lots of sites that sell "packages" of downloaded statistical data. Just for example, dudes from fantasydata.com sell their MLB "historical database" (information you can get for free, if you're not a sucker) beginning from 500$. It's even more expensive if you want to add some fantasy data (fantasy points, projected fantasy points, DK/FD salaries) to your package - it's worth ~1.5k $. Believe me as solid dfs DK player - approx. 100% of any projections are total sh$t and add no value to your strategy model (I hope you have some). The data you Really want to know - is a points distribution and opponent's lineups for every particular Draftkings dfs contest. This kind of data gives you a real pattern.
So, the question is quite simple - will you pay (much less) for this data in up-to-date and online regime instead of that countless and useless projections-sites?

To avoid any misunderstandings here and to be short and more informative:

! I'm not trying to sell anything, I wonder if people with analytical mentality and mathematical approach will be interested in following:

--dowloaded results of 80% of ALL contests downloaded straightforward from Draftkings since autumn 2016
--all sports included (MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, NASCAR etc)
--DK score of every player entered in every contest
--lineup of the winner in every contest
--both lineups in every head-to-head match
--This kind of data that can be downloaded by automated scripts has every top player on DK (like Saahil_Sud, Chippotle_Addict, Awesemo etc)

To sum up, I just want to share this data to the world ang give players opportunity not to lose too much.
