Contest Types Bankroll Management Bankroll management is how you size your DFS spending relative to the money you have set aside to play, called your bankroll, so normal losing streaks do not wipe you out. Core Strategy Chalk Chalk is the most popular, highly owned play on a slate. Core Strategy Contrarian A contrarian play or lineup is one built around choices most of the field will not make, such as low-owned players, unpopular teams or an unusual salary structure. Core Strategy Leverage Leverage is the edge you gain by rostering a play the field is underweight on, compared with how often it ends up in winning lineups.
