I scraped from about 6 different sites - went through millions of combinations and only did so-so. I think it's simple - the people that win play A LOT of rosters to cover their bases. That seems to be what the person in the story is doing and what I've read other big players are doing.

I'm curious if there is a way to scrape the historical roster data, so one could figure out how much variance the other players are getting. On FanDuel you can browse through the other rosters by hand, but the API doesn't appear to let you scrape the entire contest.

I'm curious, which sites did you scrape? Also by "so-so" do you mean that a simple majority of picks were winning? Modest winnings in DraftKings (or their competitors) could make for an interesting side-hustle or semi-passive income source.
