About Dueling with Kings: High Stakes, Killer Sharks, and the Get-Rich Promise of Daily Fantasy Sports

Daniel Barbarisi, a former Wall Street Journal Yankees beat writer, describes trying to reach the top tier of DFS players and examines how the DraftKings and FanDuel industry works and whether it is fair to casual players. It is narrative nonfiction rather than a how-to manual, but it shows how professional players approach the game.
