Why SureShot Fantasy is More Fun for Regular Fans
The daily fantasy sports (DFS) world has been largely dominated by sharp players—experts who use data models and simulations to consistently win. But at SureShot Fantasy, we’ve designed a new style of gameplay that makes DFS more exciting and fair for regular fans, offering higher variance that the sharps simply can’t game.
What is Variance and Why is it Fun?
In the world of fantasy sports, variance refers to the level of unpredictability and potential for different outcomes in each contest. Higher variance means that results are less predictable, allowing more room for upsets, surprises, and different strategies to succeed. For regular players, this makes the game more thrilling because it creates an environment where anyone has a chance to win—regardless of how much time or money they’re willing to invest.
On other DFS platforms like FanDuel and DraftKings, sharp bettors dominate by using sophisticated tools to analyze and optimize their lineups. Their strategies are based on minimizing variance, entering dozens or hundreds of lineups, and playing the percentages to increase their likelihood of winning over time.
In contrast, SureShot’s higher variance gameplay gives casual fans a real chance to outplay these sharp bettors. By allowing for more unpredictability and different winning strategies, SureShot shifts the balance back toward regular fans and away from those trying to game the system.
How SureShot’s Unique Gameplay Works
SureShot Fantasy introduces a fresh twist on traditional DFS by adding an innovative Flex Pick system. Here’s how it works:
Pick Your League and Build a Lineup: Players start by choosing a league in their favorite sport—whether that’s football, basketball, baseball, or soccer. From there, they build a lineup while staying under the salary cap limit, just like in traditional DFS contests.
Draft your Flex Picks for Extra Points: This is where the higher variance kicks in. After building your lineup, you can select up to 6 Flex Picks—a series of player projections that you can select over or under, if successful, will earn you additional fantasy points on top of what your lineup already generates. You can also adjust the amount of fantasy points the Flex Picks are worth by allocating any leftover salary cap towards it, increasing your potential reward if your Flex Picks hit.
Mix and Match Strategies: SureShot gives players the flexibility to choose between optimizing their lineup or maximizing the fantasy points from their Flex Picks. You could draft cheaper players to free up salary and increase your Flex Pick’s value, or focus entirely on building the best lineup possible. This added layer of strategy introduces more variance and keeps the game unpredictable, which means sharps can’t just rely on their usual formula to win.
Why SureShot is Tougher for Sharps
The sharps thrive in environments where they can reduce variance through data and volume. By entering multiple lineups across numerous contests, they can spread their risk and create a diversified portfolio, similar to a stock market investment strategy. Over time, they profit by playing the odds and finding edges within the system.
However, SureShot Fantasy’s gameplay introduces more unpredictability, which reduces the effectiveness of the sharp bettors’ strategies. The Flex Picks are particularly impactful because it adds an extra level of strategy and potential risk-reward tradeoffs. Sharps can’t simply rely on their computer simulations to optimize their lineups because the added variance in SureShot’s gameplay creates more opportunities for the regular fan to win.
Excitement and Strategy for Casual Players
What makes SureShot Fantasy especially fun for casual fans is the variety of strategies that can lead to success. The higher variance ensures that the outcome isn’t just about picking the optimal lineup every time—it’s also about taking risks and being bold with your choices.
You can choose a safe strategy and try to build the best lineup possible, or you can take a riskier route by picking cheaper players and funneling the extra salary cap into a Flex Pick worth extra fantasy points. Each decision feels meaningful, and each contest can play out in unexpected ways. This keeps the game fresh and exciting, even for those who aren’t DFS experts.
The key is that anyone can win. SureShot’s design prevents sharp players from dominating, so casual fans can enjoy the thrill of DFS without feeling outmatched or overwhelmed.
SureShot: Fun, Fair, and Full of Surprises
By introducing higher variance and a unique Flex Pick system, SureShot Fantasy creates a DFS experience that’s truly fun for regular fans. The added unpredictability makes each contest exciting, while also leveling the playing field so that sharp bettors don’t have an automatic advantage.
If you’re tired of competing against experts with advanced tools and deep pockets, SureShot Fantasy is the perfect platform for you. Our gameplay rewards bold choices, offers multiple paths to victory, and brings back the excitement of DFS for the everyday fan.
