Playing Fantasy Sports for a Living?

[TheXFactor]

There are quite a few players that are making hundreds of thousands of dollars per year playing fantasy sports mainly on FanDuel and DraftKings.

A Fantasy Sports Wizard's Winning Formula
Some 30 million Americans play, but is there a secret formula to winning fantasy sports games?

Cory Albertson from South Bend,IN started playing with $200, he claims he made $200K in 2013 and maybe over $1 million this year.

With websites like FanDuel, DraftKings and a new television network, fantasy sports is blowing up
Forty-one million people play fantasy sports. About 3% of those partake in daily leagues, a number expected to increase significantly over the next several years. All of them, though, have changed the way sports are consumed. Fantasy has entered the mainstream, with pro leagues not only embracing the action but promoting games of their own.

The Daily Fantasy Sports Takeover

Peter Jennings claims he will make between $4 to $5 million this year playing daily fantasy sports.


I do remember hearing about some possible cheating on FanDuel, some player or players were getting inside information from people inside the company.

How many players are making "big money" ($10K+ in profit per month) on these websites?

Yes, but how much do they lose?

This NFL season if the next few weeks go on par or just slightly below expectations, myself and a friend will have made a bit over $20k just from football. (this is assuming we lose 2or3 out of the next few weeks). We started with 5k bankroll. He's a legit bball/baseball fantasy guy so he runs our bball/baseball and we're up a decent amount in that too. I just help him out on the stats and data for those sports. I'm expecting to pay taxes of 25k-ish plus this year on fantasy winnings. I wish we had a larger bankroll because I would legit leave a job a love to do this, but I feel like you need at least 250k starting bankroll to even consider doing this, so it's just a really fun profitable hobby like poker (although i don't think i'm a winning poker player anymore in anything above 1-2).
