Planning a 'Show HN' on this as we get closer to the season, but I built a model for Fantasy Football that works pretty well and has done over $500 this month. Takes into account correlations across same-opposing team players to give a slight edge.

Modeler by trade, had to learn all the back and frontend stuff myself, been really fun so far.
- giarc 9y agoMight want to remove the Edelman example given his recent injury... no one is going to be starting him ;)
- funtober 9y agoFirst thought that I had also when pulling up the website.
- peacetreefrog 9y agoHa, yes that's on my to do list!
- nether 9y agoSelling pickaxes. Nice.
- peacetreefrog 9y agoHa, I think it's a really good pick axe though. That is a good analogy for Daily Fantasy Sports though, where you do weekly games and tournaments ect to win real money. My model has some very useful features that might make it valuable there, but the sites take anywhere from 6-8% off the top, so yeah, on average when it comes to Daily Fantasy, selling pick axes certainly has a higher EV than actually playing yourself.
