What is an overlay, and hoes it apply to fantasy sports on SkillDraft? First, let's define what an overlay is.
If you are a newbie to daily fantasy sports, get used to hearing the term overlay. It will be used frequently in advertisements, promotions, and tournaments. Simply put, an overlay is the difference between the guaranteed prize pool dollar amount versus the amount that comes from the actual number of paid entries when the latter doesn't meet the guarantee. This means the overlay the amount of money that SkillDraft has to add to cover any the shortfall in the guaranteed prize pool, making it extremely beneficial to daily fantasy sports participants because your buy-in becomes more valuable.
