2012 Fantasy Football Auction Draft Strategy: The Gambler

July 9, 2012 - PRLog -- If you have the "Go Big or Go Home" attitude when it comes to fantasy football then "The Gambler" auction draft strategy is just for you. This strategy is named "The Gambler" because you set up your auction budget to gamble on three big name players hoping and praying that they all stay healthy hold up to their preseason ranking.
 In a standard auction draft you typically have a $200 budget to fill 14-16 roster spots focusing on the eight starting positions. If you decide to go with the gambler strategy and target three top ten players, you will roughly budget 85% of your money to get those desired players. 85% offers est $56 per player understanding you could end up spending 60, 56,52  in order to get the players desired as long as it adds up to the $170.
So the next questions becomes how do you research and study for this strategy? Well... You will need to focus your research on finding 4-5 Top 10 guys that you are wanting to draft and figure out how much each one of them is expected to go for. By doing this you are able to see what 3 guys will work best for you and also it will tell you what positions you will need to focus your sleeper research on. I say target 4-5 players because you need to be prepared with several options in case you get into a bidding war over guys and have to back off certain players. Also I bring up researching sleepers because by spending 85% of your budget on three top guys you will need to spend some time researching and finding sleepers. This could be the toughest part to this strategy because in order for this strategy to work effectively you will need to hit on some of your sleeper or garbage picks at the end of the draft.
