Fanduel / Draft Kings Discussion

[nick]

I dont know if itll be popular enough to break down to like a football thread, ball, hockey etc, but thought I'd make a post if people wanna shoot the shit about FD and DK and show lineups, give suggestions, help one another etc.

I got back into it today, doing 9+ games as one and my freeroll is the entire night. Went top heavy with my free roll see if it works. Here are my 2 lineups for tonight.

Spoiler!

using FanDuel.

good luck everyone who plays.

[nick]

won all my 50/50's, and finished 7k of 50k in the freeroll but didnt prize . talked to reign earlier, this is my lineup for tonight.

Quick synopsis.

You have a certain amount of cash each day, you pick players daily based on the salary, you go against thousands of others, and depending on where you end up you win a prize?

Sort of like VT's thing he was mentioning on here?

[shel311]

I think you have options to either go up in a pool of thousands, are 1 on 1, and maybe even other options like going up against 10 other guys, and highest score wins.

Something like that, i'm sure Nick or reign can confirm.

[nick]

u can do 1 v 1, tournaments (ranging from 250 to 20 000 people) or 50/50 which is like 10, 20, 40 or 50 people and half double up

[shel311]

Reign, do you make your killings on the 50/50s?

[nick]

changed up my team a bit. taking a gamble on DJ Augustin. SVG likes him and theyre playing awful Minny. With the extra cash i was able to drop Wall/Smooth and add Lebron/Westbrook. Im kinda doing this as insurance, because its 50/50 and i expect a shit load of lebron and westbrook plays and if i dont have them and they go off im insta loser.

I thought you had Wall in the lineup? Yikes.

[nick]

i wasnt confident in myself and made a switch.

man FD can fuck with u. I went out at like 1130 assuming i lost, come home, my late night games go off and i cover in almost every game. Lesson learned.

I haven't been active in about a year now. Money can be made anywhere. I made the first few hundred in 50/50s and some smaller head to heads. Then I figured out how to take advantage of some of the noobs and started grinding out H2H games. I did some more research and came up with a system to crush GPPs (guaranteed prize pool tournaments) that allowed 3-5 max entries in smaller fields (<150). The huge chunks came from GPPs, while consistent flow came from maxing H2H with scrubs. Generally speaking, it was about $200-$300 in play a night on H2Hs and $300-$500 in play in GPPs, once I topped $7k or so. I had no issue running a higher % of my bankroll than I did when playing poker online, because I'm so confident about the win rate. My general threshold was 1/7 of my roll. I don't think I ever had a 4 night losing streak... and 3 was pretty rare.

^^ and this is why i used to harass him for 10 hrs/day.

I thought you raked easy, because you mentioned fading Westbrook and I saw he went out 10min into the game. Stick to the process... it works.

Nick/Reign, on Fanduel how can you tell who is a noob or newer players versus veterans?

Granted I've only played on the phone app and didnt see an option to click their stats maybe its on the main website.

[nick]

you can see how much theyve won and in how much time theyve played. i dont do that, but its def a way to make money.
