Good to hear.
I tried to get it into play but it blew up my whole line up and I wasnt having that.
This stuff is opening my eyes to so much young talent in this league from guys I have never heard of honestly as an average NBA fan.
Wroten
Butler
Tobias Harris
Vucevic
Pretty cool seeing some of these youngins and watching when I can some games where I have 2 or more guys involved.

Quick skim of the lineups... I see you guys jumped on Patterson... that's a perfect example of the kind of play that will win you money. When you start adding in some of my tactics for picking games, doing that will win you money just by being on the ball and active.
20 Fpts @ 4.5k, end of the 3rd... and he's not really having a great game. If he kicks it in during the 4th, that's a great play.

2 Orlando guys and Butler has played some playoff games, surprised you haven't heard of those 3.

Wroten and Elfrid Payton are returning some quality value tonight as well.

You bastards better not suck me back in... my daughter needs me!
With that said, apparently I've got about $80 in rewards points on DraftKings... hmmmm.

Interesting... and there's another $90 in pending bonus and about $10 in rewards points that I transferred from their acquisition of Draftstreet. This is better than searching for unclaimed funds!

I'm working on my 3rd straight night of being substantially below my projected point total. Hopefully it's just sample size

I can definitely see the draw after 2 nights. Especially when winning of course.
Pretty damn fun.

Patterson was in 80% of lineups in my 50/50 and in all 5 of my head to heads (3 of the guys i played head up had almost no history either)
in the last year, the edge has significantly dropped as everyone has access to basketballmonster and other sites like it.
some guys still suck but i can tell the difference even in the 16 months i've been active.

it's very true.
I am playing a guy with 0 NBA wins according to the stat check and he has 75% of the same lineup I have including Patterson.

It's not surprising at all, as that's a similar curve that online poker had. The 80% rep in 50/50s doesn't shock me too much, because good players still flood those down to the $5 range, sometimes lower. As for seeing him in all 5 H2Hs, that's kind of surprising. Are you picking your games up earlier in the day or even the night before? If you're setting your lineup, then grabbing additional games at 6p or later, you're likely to run into it. These guys are seeing that last minute information and posting their lineups based on it.

So Reign, we have better odds of getting in an H2H early in the day, then changing our lineups later?

Losing my H2H by 91, and 37th out of 40 in my 50/50
Projected for 276, i'm at 133 with roughly 3.5 guys left.

For instance... if you look at the $10 goal that has over 5,000 entries... many of which were signed up for earlier today or even last night, you'll see that Patterson is 19.2% owned.

Good call... picked up a few bucks there too.
I've really been out of the loop.

BTW... if you want a chance to win $15 on the side... with no commitment... follow this referral:
http://www.skyllzone.com/ref/ReignOnU
It's nothing like FD/DK. You simply go to the site each week, draft a team against their computer simulator and if you win, you can win some cash, or you win points that will let you enter into cash games. You NEVER have to deposit money. It's something to do on the side. You can draft multiple times a week.. I believe the limit is once per day.
