What’s an Overlay in Daily Fantasy Sports Contests?

Occasionally you may come across Daily Fantasy Sports sites touting so-called “Overlay Alerts” in promoting one of their many contests. 

An overlay in Daily Fantasy Sports is the difference between the total guaranteed prize pool being offered by a website and the actual number of paid entries.  Said site has to put the money into the prize pool itself to make up for the difference.
