how is that info useful though? he played in the other site using data that showed which players were picked up the most? I don't understand how that gives you an advantage since it doesn't affect how the players play. all it is is playing match ups mixed with a lot of luck.

I think it would basically be the opposite of that. He probably played with top players who were picked up the least, because to win real money, you have to hit on "sleepers" - people who are unpopular picks.

If you use the same players as everyone else then you have less chances to make up points.

If there are 6 roster spots and you share a QB with 75% of the other players you only have 5 spots to outscore those 75%. If you pick a different QB you have 6.

Also you can take a chance on a cheaper QB and spend more on other positions. It's definitely an advantage.

Yea. I mean, I can see him having an advantage, and I can even see why the 2 sites would probably want to make sure these employees aren't playing on each other's sites, but I don't see how or why this would become such a huge scandal.
