DFS (Daily Fantasy Sports) is a vigorously fast growing industry in today’s world. DFS has been an entertainment for sports for almost a decade now and seems to have people catching on like a disease. There has been some confusion with members on the difference between cash and gpp lineups that are available on my site. This article is just a little description on what the two different contests actually mean.


Cash

This contest is named cash because of the consistency the player has in winning. Cash contests include, 50:50’s and double ups. These two contests mean that just about 50% of the entry pool is going to win double their money. Whether you come in the top 1% or 49%, the payout doesn’t change. Say you enter $2 in a double up, you place in the better half, you will win $4. These contests are for the type of DFS players that like to win often and build up a slow and steady bankroll. My picks designed for cash contests are the safest plays (in my opinion) and present very little risk.


GPP

The big question in DFS is, what is GPP and what does it stand for? GPP stands for Guaranteed Prize Pool and represents any sort of tournament contest that rewards big payouts for the top placed teams. This represents a riskier built team due to the fact that you want players on your team that will be low-owned in the contest. In order to have low-owned players, you need to include lots of risk in your team and have boom or bust players. You aren’t looking for middle of the line players who will get you a few consistent points. GPP lineups need to have those explosive guys that can have career performances at any point in time. My gpp lineups can easily come in a place towards last because of the risk. However, it’s ok to have those poor lineups some days because other days, the lineup will be explosive and give a good run at that top prize. If you are a daredevil type player, GPP is the perfect thing for you. Go big or go home.
