Using historical data to see what actually predicts daily Fantasy Football value and ownership, The Hidden Psychology of Winning DFS will equip you with the tools you need to leverage weaknesses in the way other players think and act into a major competitive advantage.
Which metrics predict not only which players perform well, but which ones will be popular in tournaments? How much do the Vegas lines matter, when should you value recent production, and how can you find both undervalued and under-owned players at each position? You\'ll learn specific instructions on how to exploit inefficiencies in others\' lineups to give you a leg up on the field.
