WHAT ARE THE WAR ROOMS?

The War Rooms are forums custom-built to meet the needs of the DFS community. You can access the War Rooms by selecting from the Sports drop down at the top of your screen.

Each main slate will have it’s own War Room with a header outlining our top picks and other pertinent information, from injury and weather updates to important lineup information.

Below the header are questions that YOU and other members submit—with corresponding analysis from our Insiders. The Insiders will pin the most useful questions and answers to the top as well as in-depth analysis.

Short on time and need to build a lineup fast? Read the header and then look through the pinned posts. You’ll be able to find a ton of useful information to build a lineup in minutes.

After you read a question and the corresponding replies, you can click “hide” to minimize the whole post. This will allow you to see which questions you’ve already read and which ones are new—even if you leave the webpage and come back to it later or open it on a different device! If additional replies are made on a post you’ve already hidden, you’ll see this icon 💥 next to the question to let you know to unhide that post and see the new comments.

Wondering about a specific player? Search his name with the search bar located in the top right of your screen on your computer and the bottom of the page on your mobile devices. This will bring up any mention of the player anywhere in that specific War Room.

Still don’t see what you’re looking for? Use the question box under the header to submit a query for the Insiders.

Read our DFI Must-Haves and Spotlights on DailyFantasyInsider.com? Now you get access to even more unique, in-depth strategies for each specific slate, from value plays to specific stacks to even entire slate breakdowns. These articles will provide you with the strategic analysis behind our Insiders’ deepest research and help you understand how they reached those conclusions. You can find these articles contained within the War Room for easy access to everything you need on one page!

This super intuitive format keeps you up to date on all the info you need in the most efficient possible way. While our Insiders narrow the field to the best picks on the slate and lock in our favorite guys, the finishing touches are still up to you. This allows us to preserve the competitive nature of DFS, and it allows you to take pride in your winning lineups.

War Rooms typically open two hours before daily slates begin (often one hour before on Sundays). For the bigger, weekly sports like NFL and PGA, we start them days in advance so you have plenty of time to ask questions and prepare for the slate.

Our members are really enjoying the improvements we’ve made since we first launched our website, and we think you will too. The DFI community loves to see each other succeed and we look forward to having you join us.

Most people bet on sports because it makes the games more fun. What can detract from the fun is researching for hours, only to end up losing money.

DFI Bets is the solution to these problems with the convenience of our service and the knowledge that you are getting well-researched picks with complete transparency when it comes to the results.

We’ve grown our team to over 40 analysts and fine-tuned our process and our models until we knew we could deliver elite results for the DFI community.

What Makes us Different?

Our team dives into player prop bets, live game bets, high-upside parlays, and teasers. We analyze all aspects of every game to provide you with the top bets from basketball, football, hockey, golf, baseball, international soccer, and much more.

Our greatest strength has always been our ability to forecast the performance of individual players. Our analysts break down independent matchups to the extreme and consistently find the most exploitable player props. Player props are usually set around the player averages as the general lack of public interest means it’s hardly worth the bookkeeper’s time to set them more precisely.  See Tweet, showing a night where we crushed the five best NBA props available.

How We Deliver Our Picks:

In order to get you our research in a matter of seconds, our top picks are posted every day on our Twitter account @DFIBets.

The quantity of picks varies depending on the games offered and the value we are able to find, but you can generally expect 3-5 picks in addition to live bets when our analysts see something in the early flow of a game.

Our team generates over 100 thoroughly researched bets each month, which means you’re paying less than 25 cents per bet!

When you turn on notifications for our Twitter account, you will get an instant update on your phone every time our team announces a bet. This is not only optimal for live betting, but it allows you to jump on opportunities the second they arise in order to maximize your gains.

Our Dedication to Transparency

We track every pick we post and the results are displayed publicly on our site at all times for complete transparency and proof of performance. Our mission is to provide the most convenient and efficient betting service that allows our community to effortlessly build their bankroll.

It’s imperative that you trust our team if you’re going to risk your hard-earned money, so if you have any questions about our process or track-record, please feel free to reach out to us.

Have Questions? Feel free to message us on Twitter at @DFIBets or send an email to [email protected]

Free Betting Advice

Maybe you’ve read through all this and you’re thinking “I just don’t bet enough to justify becoming a part of the DFI community.” If that’s the case, we totally get it, and we don’t want to leave you empty-handed. Here are some general rules to live by that will make you a more profitable sports bettor:

• Do not follow sharp money blindly – We monitor sharp money, as it is essential to betting efficiently, but our picks are all thoroughly justified through extensive matchup research. If you’re making your own picks, always do more research than just figuring out who other people are betting on.
• Don’t overvalue nationally televised games – Everyone enjoys primetime matchups and watching their bets unfold live, but it doesn’t always align with where the real value is. Often times the games that are most attractive to the public have the most accurately set lines as the bookkeepers put extra time into getting those right.
• Don’t rely on long-shot parlays – It’s nice to see how high the payoff will be when you’re considering a parlay, but it will often be a losing bet. We rarely advise parlays, and when we do they are well calculated and the risk/reward will align cost-effectively.
• Avoid going on tilt – This is by far the most important tip of them all. Betting is an inherently up and down endeavor, and you’re almost certainly going to become emotional at times. Losing a couple bets in a row is unavoidable, even if you are the sharpest bettor of all time. However, the sharpest bettors avoid letting the outcome of a previous bet affect their next decision. The key to long-term profitability is to develop an efficient strategic system and stick to it. With a team of 40+ analysts working together, it’s much easier to remove emotion from the equation, but if you go at it alone you need to be particularly cautious about going on tilt.

We look forward to having you in our community and we hope you’re looking forward to getting winning picks sent straight to your phone without spending any of your precious time on research!

We offer two membership types for War Rooms access, Standard and Read Only.  The difference between a read only membership and the standard membership is the ability to ask questions and comment on other people’s questions in the War Rooms. When we first launched the War Rooms, all the subscriptions were the same price and everyone had the ability to comment and ask questions. After a while we realized that a lot of users never ask any questions because they are using the War Rooms in two or three minutes to make a quick lineup. We decided that those people shouldn’t have to pay the same price as the people asking questions, so we created the less expensive read only memberships!

Read-Only vs. Interactive Memberships

The difference between a Read-Only membership and an Interactive membership is the ability to ask questions and comment on other people’s questions in the War Rooms. As we grow the DFI community, we have to make sure the War Rooms didn’t get too crowded with questions. We like to answer our users’ questions very quickly and we can only do that if we limit the number of people who can ask them, which is why Interactive Access is often Sold Out. Read-Only Access still allows you to view all of the content, and the majority of the DFI community actually prefers to save money with these memberships as our analysts post high-quality content that usually answers all the questions you’ll have. If you want Interactive Access but it is sold out, you can sign up for a Read-Only membership and join the wait list for Interactive Access.
