Draft Kings (Daily fantasy football)

[EagleFan]

Was up to almost 1000% return but then the garbage TD's set me back and Newton broke 300 yards which also hurt. Ended up about +250% which I will take any week and every week. 4 for 4 in the money.

[Lathum]

Dropped to 371. Cashed for $100 which I'll gladly take but is a bit deflating after being so high up with only two games left.

[Lonnie]

I had two double-ups going. One I finished 19/120 and the other 61/100. Of course the later was the $20 and the first $5. So I'm down this week.

I hte the double ups, if I finishe really high in one I always get mad that I didn't have that team going in a tournament.

True, I finished 1st in the double up that I was in, all I could think was why couldn't that have been the 20K for 1st tournament.

[kingfc22]

Would LOVE if this CHA/POR game goes to OT. Would possibly lead me to cracking the top 10 in a tourney. Sitting 44th right now.

[kingfc22]

So close. Tying bucket called off after review. Would have had 3 players playing extra basketball. Now time to hold on. Hoping to be up 700%.

[EagleFan]

I see this every week. Why on earth would you pick almost every player from the Thursday game? The person currently leading on the of contests that I am in has all but one player on his team going tonight. How does that even remotely seem like a good idea? He is leading but probably only until about 5 minutes into the 1:00 games on Sunday as he has a whopping 60 some points. He better hope that last player scores about 150 for him.

Sorry, guess I shouldn't complain as it just means better chances for me.

[EagleFan]

Can anyone reach this site today?

[Lonnie]

I did for a few minutes, but keeps going down.

[EagleFan]

I can get on the site but the stats are far from updated. No clue how I am actually doing. That kind of sucks because it is fun watching that through the weekend.

[Lathum]

Had a few decent weeks in a row so I am jumping back in the pool for the million. Need to keep an eye out to make sure Arian Foster doesn't play, and hoping Crowell becomes a bell cow for the Browns.

[Lathum]

Foster out.

I am taking some chances on the 2 higher buy in tournaments I am in using Trent Richardson in one and Crowell in the other.

WTF Luck? Killing me...

WTF is up with Fandual?

They usually have several $2 tournaments with a guarantee pool of 60-80K available to enter this time of day. All they have is one $2 25K pool tournament.

[kingfc22]

I've moved my focus over to the NBA and cash games and have had some recent success which I hope can continue based on the strategy I've applied.

Last night I would have won 3 triple-ups if not for the LA/TOR game going to OT. As it ended up, I had to hang on just to win two of them after sitting comfortably in the money for most of the day.

[EagleFan]

Damn, dropped out of the money tonight. Had two entries and they were both hovering in the $40 return range but nothing going tonight.

Looks like it is getting tight near the top spot. The leader is done and I see one person with a chance to catch him as that person has Wallace going but still needs 7 points. That leader has got to feel good that he is getting paid but slight bit nervous.

[Bigsmooth]

Dang...finished 3rd in the Fantasy Fued, Fued of Champions weekly qualifier. $250 is nice but one of those qualifier spots is worth $3250. Oh well couple more tries left.

[Bigsmooth]

Followed this up with a 4th place and another 3rd place the last two weeks. So close, damn...

[Lathum]

MAn- Last night is the perfect example of just how difficult these things are to win.

Same lineup I finished 42/38314 and 9/11484 in the Fandual $3/ 100,000 and $1/ 10,000.

I scored 61.5 points, the only guy on my team who had a bad night was Lorenzo Cain. In the 100K I was 8.5 points from first and the 10K I was 3.75, so had Cain also had a good night I win the 10K for sure and maybe the 100K. First place is 8K and $750.

Would have been nive. I still walked away with a few hundred dollars whic will bankroll me maybe the rest of the season, but man, would have been nice to get an 8K payday. Wife would have been pretty happy

Nice work man. I've been having a good run on Fantasy Feud. They've really stepped up the prize money although they'll never touch Kings/Duel on that front.

[Subby]

I am running a partial Nats/Diamondbacks stack for today's action on DK. Hoping for more another day of double digit totals from that series.

[Marmel]

Does anybody still play this stuff? I never had, but wouldn't mind trying it out for free. Do any of these sites give you any free $ to play with before making a deposit?

[kingfc22]

Yep. Have a few lineups going today. I think they have promo codes where you can get one entry free or they'll just match what you deposit.

[Chief Rum]

I think I have seven lol. Most I have ever run. I suspect this number will fall sharply next week.

[kingfc22]

I stay away from the huge Multi-million dollar tourneys as you have no chance unless you are submitting 100+ entries.

I focus on the double-up or triple-up games where you need to finish top 1/2 or top 1/3

[RainMaker]

It's basically how poker was early on when it got popular online. The people winning all have software making their picks and the rest are just fish.

Also I think I've seen enough commercials this week.

[cuervo72]

Nearly everyone in them strikes me as your typical degenerate gambler bro.

[EagleFan]

The high dollar ones are complete games of chance. The winners usually have a lineup that no one in their right mind would have selected going into the week.

I will throw an entry into them for the heck of it but I do much better with the double up ones where you want to go for the smart picks over the huge gamble.

[PurdueBrad]

Hanging in there thus far, top third in each of the four pools I entered with four players to go: Adrian Peterson, Sam Bradford, Jordan Matthews and Nelson Agoholor. We'll see...

[Neuqua]

I only play the double up games.

[cmp]

12th right now out of 502 in my pool with Peterson still going. Hopefully he picks it up.

[EagleFan]

A big second half by Hyde could put me in the money this week, though just barely.

[EagleFan]

Sweet, may be five for five in the money tonight. Carlos Hyde is my new hero.

In case any winners here are wondering where their winnings came from, they came from me lol fml

[Grover]

Was +$4.40 for the week on FanDuel. Would have been $2 more up but I decided on a Monday only league and picked a few too many Vikings. Oof.

[Landshark44]

what better...

fanduel or draftkings?

[EagleFan]

Any interest in an FOFC week 2 contest on Draft Kings? Never created one but I guess this would be possible.

We could try that. I would join.

[kingfc22]

+1

[Comey]

Would it cost money? I haven't deposited anything on there...still trying stuff out, seeing if it's something I'd want to invest time and money in.

[EagleFan]

I'll try to set up one for bragging rights. Will try later today and post the results.

[stevew]

Can you set up a localized player pool with prizes? Was thinking I'd love to do weekly with people I know locally, but it's gotta be a pain in the ass to run off a spreadsheet

[Dutch]

I use Fanduel, but Id be down with an FOFC Draft Kings setup. Let us know!

[CleBrownsfan]

I'm down - my account name is Broth32.

[EagleFan]

Let me know your email or account name, I will invite. Started with an 8 team.

[EagleFan]

May have found an issue, hope I can invite others.

[Senator]

I admire you guys who can profit from this. I don't even attempt the effort because I would not do anything more than casual and that is where the profit comes in for these companies. I would be the fish, and I like my money to be spent more productively. On hookers and cocaine.

Last years was about a break even. Okay start this year but I have switched my plan this year to the double ups. Saw that I generally finish in the range needed to be in the money for the double ups so I thought I may do better going for the slow play instead of chasing the big dollars which are generally a lottery of chance.
