Fanduel / Draft Kings Discussion

[ReignOnU]

Here's some inspiration... you can definitely get there if you put in the effort... this is a quick skim through games on FD about 2yrs ago. DS is gone and DK doesn't show history past 30 days... I had some monsters on those.

Can't view unless we log in as you.

They changed that then... I'll get some screenshots sometime.

It's about 12k in winnings over a 5 month period.. I think. I closed the windows.

I also noticed that you can't see the scoreboards... that's an odd change.

As for BM projections... I think they tend to overrate the sleeper plays and are pretty consistent on most of the main players. Which kind of makes sense. You do need to take the time to check their projections against box scores about once a week or so. I remember a specific run that they had on Demarcus Cousins where he was projecting consistently as the top center at 24pts 13rebs a game... when he was in a slump and arguing with his coach... yeah, not close.

Well, here is what I am doing and it has been working in my small sample size; let me know if you have any things I should amend.

- Sort by RATIO and identify three value players ... read about them (make sure they'll be starting, check the Vegas total on the game, etc)
- After I got them, I go and try and find 120 points from three cornerstone guys.
- Fill in with the usual assortment of $5-7k guys.

[Cnasty]

My approach is sort by ratio as well.
Start with centers
Utilize comp value/ratio and last 3 game performance trends over the value tab
Then go through each category of position
Usually come back and change the center I started with

So far I am winning and tonight looks like a consistent lineup as well.

I am only betting $5 on 1 H2H and 1 50/50 a night. Looking to move it up to $10 in a week or so and keep getting the hang of players, identifying consistent performers, and sprinkling in other guys while monitoring injury updates pre-tip.

Not sure if right or wrong but boy is it fun to win!

[trendon]

1. Why centers first?
2. I disagree with looking at LAST 3 because I don't believe in "hot" players. What do you think?

[Cnasty]

I dunno, its my thing.

I dont use last 3 as "hot" if you will, I look at it more for consistency and honestly dont know who 80% of the NBA is anymore.

baseball is fun. you should do well there too. avoid NFL and CFB, so fucking random.

I can find it on DK button FD I can't find where I can view results from, for example, a tourney last night that I didn't play in.

[shel311]

I'm similar to trendon for GPPs, I look for values in the $3k range, mixed in with 2 studs, then solid guys after.

For h2h and 50/50s, I'm still looking for value, but in the $5k or so range, and I try to round out a lineup of solid guys. I'm also checking gamelogs to try and find the consistent guys.

[shel311]

Ty Lawson is a late game scratch. I can't figure out how to sub him out? Pretty sure I can do that on DK, but can't find it on FD, need quick help.

[nick]

u cant on FD

[shel311]

u cant on FD

Man, I like DK so much more right now, that and a few other reasons. Seems like a terrible idea to lock in rosters 3.5 hours before a tip off.

Thanks for the heads up though

[trendon]

I'm going to win a small amount of money because of James, Cousins, Nowitski, and - thanks to Dave - Lowry. I had two players combine for five fucking points. The aforementioned will likely combine for 200+.

[Cnasty]

Scored 298 points and staring down a 1-1

About to jump ship on H2H and play 50/50s as I would be 6-0 right now. H2H seem to much of a crap shoot with the inability to find new guys as easy as previously mentioned due to these tools and things. Maybe a bad observation but kind of what I have seen so far.

What is a solid goal to look for with ROI?

4-5

well on FD. u get 60k so 4x is 240, which isnt guaranteed a winner but should do well. and then dudes probably do better

I meant, in terms of profits.

[nick]

100s of millions

[trendon]

Another perfect day (9-for-9) even though I went out of my way to screw myself. Won another ticket for CFB. I like this shit.

Edit: Shit, I've won in 22 straight.

I'm looking for a percentage
