Rule one goes without saying. Only play with what you can afford to lose.
Granted no one wants or thinks they are going to lose, just know your risk. If you can not afford it, don't do it.
2. Take advantage of first time deposit bonuses.
It is a free kick back of cash. Why would you not want it. With most daily fantasy sites a deposit bonuses is a pending bonus. Meaning a percentage of the bonus is releases into your account each time you play in a cash game. Until you have fully acquired the bonus.
3. Do yourself a solid and be sure to read the game and scoring rules.
Every daily fantasy site offers different structures in which games are played and scored. It is best to know what categories are going to gain or cost you points in order to draft the best scoring team possible. Player performance scores will vary from site to site. For instance on Fanduel a defensive sack is 1 point, on Draftstreet it is .5.
4. When starting out it is a good idea to play couple free games.
Familiarize yourself with the process. Get a feel for the player values, having to drafting your team and the actual game scoring.
5. Enter Freerolls.
They are tournaments you can play for absolutely free and they still offer cash prizes. Depending on what site you decide to play, each one offer various kinds of freerolls.
6. Manage your bankroll.
Start with a amount your feel comfortable with and remember it is daily fantasy. No reason to go buck wild and put your whole stack at risk on any certain night. Keep your head and play smart. Personally, I do not like to over extend myself. No more than 15% of my bank on any giving night.
7. It is a good idea to start by playing head to head match ups and 50/50 games.
While they are not the flashy big prize pool and 1000+ player tournaments, both these games offer the best odds of winning at 50%. They are great starting blocks to help you build your bankroll.
In a 50/50 game, it is basically a double up in where all you need to do is beat half the field of players. For instance, in a 20 man tournament the top ten positions are in the cash.
If you choose to take a Head to Head, think about choosing from a open spot in a already posted H2H match. This way you control who you play. Plus some sites offer a bit of background into a player history. Ideally you can research a probable opponent and find out if they have a similar playing history as yourself. Where by if you create your own H2H your opponent is left out of your control. Leaving you open to the possibility of getting your H2H picked up by a more experienced player.
