Daily Fantasy Sports Versus Fantasy Sports: Which One is Better?

MyDFS crafted this guide to help the community get started with fantasy sports. This guide would be most helpful for you if you are about to start or just started with fantasy sports. After reading this, we hope you feel confident about your choices and take home a lot of prizes.

In the initial phases of playing fantasy sports, you may find yourself confounded or surprised at the massive amount of prerequisites to know before winning any money for real. The first question you might ask yourself is; season-long fantasy sports or daily fantasy sports? In this guide, we are going to illustrate some bullet points which will show you why daily fantasy sports can be a more prudent choice.

Let’s get started!

• Daily Fantasy Sports is SUPER HOT and warmly welcomed all over the USA, Canada! Europe and Asia have also opened their arms wide open. The fantasy sports industry is multiplying at an exponential scale. Hence it is common to see leagues with massive amount of prize pools.
• As the name suggests “daily”: it means that you can effectively see your results everyday. You get rewarded in fiat currency or tokens at the end of each day. On the down side, in traditional fantasy sports your prize pool is locked for the entire season. Daily fantasy sports gives you fruits without any wait. Effectively, each day is a new season. You can draft a new team everyday!
• Let’s be real: sometimes life gets tough and one can’t always keep an eye on fantasy team. You get more flexibility to move around. That being said, even if you want to skip a game or take time off a whole month, you can. You are not attached to it. There’s freedom!
• There’s room for mistakes so it automatically makes daily fantasy sports a better option for novice players. You get opportunities to learn from your mistakes time and again. Daily fantasy sports does not punish you for the wrong choices to make (at least not as badly as traditional fantasy sports).
• Long term problems like injuries, disqualifications etc won’t be there to haunt you in daily fantasy sports. When you play fantasy football, for example, you chose players who can get injures and disqualifications during the season, it means that you won’t get any points from them. With daily fantasy sports you can avoid such problems and enjoy the game. At the beginning of the new day, you re-draft your team. So you are saved from the unforeseeable consequences.
• You will learn a lot as a fantasy sports player. The gaming process will teach you a lot in form of experience. You can draft your teams as many times as you wish. You can even apply new techniques and tactics to optimise scoring. The learning curve is much simpler than in fantasy sports, where you have to take into account many things like injures and substitutions, for instance.

Even though traditional fantasy sports have their own advantages, but the times are changing and so are the concepts. Let’s embrace them warmly. After reading this guide, we hope you gathered a bit of acumen towards fantasy sports. We are positive these tips will come in handy to next time you will be confused to decide whether to choose daily fantasy or traditional fantasy sport. Good luck! May the force be with you.
