We’ve all been playing different forms of fantasy sports for many years but the newest kid on the block Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) is now all the rage. So, what is Daily Fantasy Sports?
Daily Fantasy Sports builds off of a lot of the key functions regular season long fantasy players enjoy and have used for many years.
Player stats are the aim of this game, as opposed to team stats that are more a common function of wagering and sports betting.
Regular season long fantasy contests are exactly that, contests whereby you are drafting or selecting a squad that you will basically use for that entire season of sporting action.
Daily Fantasy however, is a shorter, fixed term version of fantasy contest normally running over just one day but sometimes over a weekend for sports like AFL, NRL NFL, PGA and EPL.
