Cricket-specific captain pick math
The 2x captain multiplier is the most important decision in any fantasy cricket contest. A captain who scores 80 runs gives you 160 points; a captain who scores 30 gives you 60.
The expected value of a captain pick is the probability of outscoring the vice-captain multiplied by the expected point difference.
The contrarian captain pick is the right strategy in mega contests, the safe pick in head-to-heads.
Bankroll discipline for cricket tournaments
Bankroll discipline is the unglamorous essential of fantasy cricket. The discipline is the difference between a player who plays for years and a player who burns out after one tournament.

Cricket-specific contest types
Cricket contests fall into three main types: mega contests (50,000+ entries, highest variance), small group contests (50-500 players, medium variance), and head-to-head contests (2 entries, lowest variance).
The right mix for a serious player is: 50% small group, 30% mega, 15% head-to-head, 5% practice.
