  • Picking Winners Using Integer Programming
    Picking Winners Using Integer Programming David Scott Hunter Operations Research Center, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA 02139, [email protected] Juan Pablo Vielma Department of Operations Research, Sloan School of Management, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA 02139, [email protected] Tauhid Zaman Department of Operations Management, Sloan School of Management, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA 02139, [email protected] We consider the problem of selecting a portfolio of entries of fixed cardinality for a winner take all contest such that the probability of at least one entry winning is maximized. This framework is very general and can be used to model a variety of problems, such as movie studios selecting movies to produce, drug companies choosing drugs to develop, or venture capital firms picking start-up companies in which to invest. We model this as a combinatorial optimization problem with a submodular objective function, which is the probability of winning. We then show that the objective function can be approximated using only pairwise marginal probabilities of the entries winning when there is a certain structure on their joint distribution. We consider a model where the entries are jointly Gaussian random variables and present a closed form approximation to the objective function. We then consider a model where the entries are given by sums of constrained resources and present a greedy integer programming formulation to construct the entries. Our formulation uses three principles to construct entries: maximize the expected score of an entry, lower bound its variance, and upper bound its correlation with previously constructed entries. To demonstrate the effectiveness of our greedy integer programming formulation, we apply it to daily fantasy sports contests that have top heavy payoff structures (i.e.

  • Peter Schoenke Chairman Fantasy Sports Trade Association 600 North Lake Shore Drive Chicago, IL 60611 to the Massachusetts Offi
    Peter Schoenke Chairman Fantasy Sports Trade Association 600 North Lake Shore Drive Chicago, IL 60611 To the Massachusetts Office of The Attorney General about the proposed regulations for Daily Fantasy Sports Contest Operators: The Fantasy Sports Trade Association welcomes this opportunity to submit feedback on the proposed regulations for the Daily Fantasy Sports industry. It's an important set of regulations not just for daily fantasy sports companies, but also for the entire fantasy sports industry. Since 1998, the FSTA has been the leading representative of the fantasy sports industry. The FSTA represents over 300 member companies, which provide fantasy sports games and software used by virtually all of the 57 million players in North America. The FSTA's members include such major media companies as ESPN, CBS, Yahoo!, NBC, NFL.com, NASCAR Digitial Media and FOX Sports, content and data companies such as USA Today, RotoWire, RotoGrinders, Sportradar US and STATS, long-standing contest and league management companies such as Head2Head Sports, RealTime Fantasy Sports, the Fantasy Football Players Championship, MyFantasyLeague and almost every major daily fantasy sports contest company, including FanDuel, DraftKings, FantasyAces and FantasyDraft. First of all, we'd like to thank you for your approach to working with our industry. Fantasy sports have grown rapidly in popularity the past twenty years fueled by technological innovation that doesn't often fit with centuries old laws. Daily fantasy sports in particular have boomed the last few years along with the growth of mobile devices. That growth has brought our industry new challenges. We look forward to working with you to solve these issues and hope it will be a model for other states across the country to follow.

  • Hedging Your Bets: Is Fantasy Sports Betting Insurance Really ‘Insurance’?
    HEDGING YOUR BETS: IS FANTASY SPORTS BETTING INSURANCE REALLY ‘INSURANCE’? Haley A. Hinton* I. INTRODUCTION Sports betting is an animal of both the past and the future: it goes through the ebbs and flows of federal and state regulations and provides both positive and negative repercussions to society. While opponents note the adverse effects of sports betting on the integrity of professional and collegiate sporting events and gambling habits, proponents point to massive public interest, the benefits to state economies, and the embracement among many professional sports leagues. Fantasy sports gaming has engaged people from all walks of life and created its own culture and industry by allowing participants to manage their own fictional professional teams from home. Sports betting insurance—particularly fantasy sports insurance which protects participants in the event of a fantasy athlete’s injury—has prompted a new question in insurance law: is fantasy sports insurance really “insurance?” This question is especially prevalent in Connecticut—a state that has contemplated legalizing sports betting and recognizes the carve out for legalized fantasy sports games. Because fantasy sports insurance—such as the coverage underwritten by Fantasy Player Protect and Rotosurance—satisfy the elements of insurance, fantasy sports insurance must be regulated accordingly. In addition, the Connecticut legislature must take an active role in considering what it means for fantasy participants to “hedge their bets:” carefully balancing public policy with potential economic benefits. * B.A. Political Science and Law, Science, and Technology in the Accelerated Program in Law, University of Connecticut (CT) (2019).

  • Strategies in Fantasy NBA Basketball
    Jiachun Lu Stat 157 Angela Zhang Course Project Strategies in Fantasy NBA Basketball For this project, we will discuss a popular game among basketball fans, Fantasy NBA Basketball, and analyze various statistical related strategies applicable to the game. The strategies will involve different stages of the game play, such as drafting players, selection of free agents, as well as trading players. We will use a more efficient drafting strategies based on a model that we refer to as efficient points rather than the commonly used “O-Rank”. We will also use expected values and variances of the players’ statistics decide how to either pick or trade free agents during the season. Our final goal is to use these techniques to optimize team performance in order to win the league. Fantasy Basketball is essentially a free online game that allows players to manage their own team of NBA players upon creating an account. There are two types of major leagues, Rotisserie League and Head to Head League. For rotisserie League, there are several statistical categories such as rebounds, assists, or free throws that fantasy basketball teams are ranked on. Usually, ranks in each statistical category are then converted to corresponding points and are totaled to determine an overall score for the team. The team with the highest score naturally becomes the winner. On the other hand, in a head to head league, different fantasy teams created by different managers square off in a weekly match against each other to see which manager can compile the highest points in each of the different categories.

  • NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY the Reality of Fantasy Sports
    NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY The Reality of Fantasy Sports: Transforming Fan Culture in the Digital Age A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Field of Media, Technology and Society By Ben Shields EVANSTON, ILLINOIS June 2008 2 © Copyright by Ben Shields 2008 All Rights Reserved 3 ABSTRACT The Reality of Fantasy Sports: Transforming Fan Culture in the Digital Age Ben Shields This dissertation analyzes the transformation of fantasy sports from a deviant, outside- the-mainstream fan culture to a billion-dollar industry that comprises almost 20 million North American participants. Fantasy sports are games in which participants adopt the simultaneous roles of owner, general manager, and coach of their own teams of real athletes and compete in leagues against other fantasy teams with the individual statistical performance of athletes determining the outcome of the match and league standings over a season. Through an analysis of how fantasy sports institutions are co-opting an existing fan culture, the dissertation seeks to contribute to an emerging body of scholarship on the communication dynamic between fans and media institutions in the digital age. In order to understand this cultural shift within the context of fantasy sports, it focuses on three research questions: What is the history of fantasy sports? Why do fantasy sports stimulate avid and engaged fan behaviors? How do fantasy sports institutions communicate with fantasy sports fan cultures? The methodology employed in this study combines both an ethnographic approach and textual analysis. Personal interviews were conducted with fifteen decision makers from fantasy sports companies such as SportsBuff, Rotowire, Fantasy Auctioneer, Mock Draft Central, Grogan’s Fantasy Football, CBS Sportsline, and ESPN.
