Maybe it is just my lack of success from the first couple of weeks, but I'm starting to get the feeling that the large tournaments are either rigged or just not winnable. I cannot decide which.
I thought it would be good to start a thread to see if anyone else has similar suspicions.
If I look at the current leader in the Sunday million, the username has zero contest wins on FanDuel. He / she / it has never won a game of any kind. So is it just luck that this person who has never won any game at FanDuel lucks into a perfect lineup this weekend? It is difficult to believe, but not impossible. The problem I have is this is not the only case.
I entered a bunch of tournaments this weekend. I can find at least 7 or 8 large tournaments where the winner has zero or one total win. Is it just beginners luck? Does that mean no skill is involved? Or is there reason to be suspicious of these accounts?
I'm looking at the leading roster for the 100k Sunday NFL squib. The username has one total win on FanDuel, yet he rostered Travis Benjamin of Cleveland who happened to go off for 31 points today. I'm starting to think listening to podcasts and reading on DFS is a waste of time each week because I spent a lot of time this week and never heard Travis Benjamin's name mentioned once. Yet a guy with one total win decides to roster him and an almost perfect lineup.
In fact, the top 5 leaders in the 100k Sunday NFL squib have 1 win, zero wins, zero wins, zero wins, and zero wins.
I can find multiple instances of this happening.
Maybe it is luck. Maybe it is rigged. Maybe it is just not winnable. I can't decide.
