Fanduel / Draft Kings Discussion

[Cnasty]

Thats what I did as I squeezed in Lebron.

Also, Mo Williams out again and Lavin another start.

[shel311]

Not feeling too good about this 1st pass at all:

Lowry
Deron
McLemore
Stuckey
Hayward
Lebron
Favors
Humphries
Plumlee

Projection: 284

Feels like 1 or 2 too many value plays, but I don't see much that I really like in the $7k+ range.

[Cnasty]

Trying to decide if i should spend my extra money on:

Lebron against Brooklyn
Griffin against Phoenix
Curry against Minnesota

I listed them in which way I am leaning.

Current Lineup:
Irving
Lowry
Stuckey
Klay Thompson
Wilson Chandler
Lebron
Humphries
Amir Johnson
Tyler Zeller

Reign or Dave...not sure if you ever paid much attention, but have you noticed any discerable difference between the $1/$2 plays vs $5 plays?

It would be a lot easier to just bet a few $5 contests as opposed to anywhere between 20-50 of the lower dollar matches.

Corey and I have talked, and I think Corey said he'd play one $5 50/50 per night and compare the scores, but I was wondering if you guys ever noticed anything.

[shel311]

Tonight's tough last call is Ben McLemore vs JJ Redick. Redick's been crushing it lately.

[Cnasty]

Joe Johnson out tonight

[shel311]

Joe Johnson out tonight

Yep. I have Dwill, so I'm thinking that is good for me as his usage rate should go up.

I also chose Plumlee over Teletovic as a value play, but i'm wondering how many extra minutes, if any, this will net Teletovic.

I went to bed on the fringe thinking I had a shot, but Eric Bledsoe and Blake Griffin going off ruined that real quick, as I didn't have either.

Finished with 255, highest score I've ever go up against, around 285 was the cut off point.

I think I'm on around 9 of 10 nights now where I scored underage BM projection. Gonna be interesting to keep tracking that one.

[Cnasty]

Win one, lose one is my trend currently.

Gonna get raked. Kyrie did me in

[DRiccio21]

anyone else win on fanduel but not seeing the balance reflect it yet?

forget it, all good now

[shel311]

Congrats on the win!!!

Feels like we're on our own now around these parts.

Not good!!!

[shel311]

I'll try to hit up the site with your info later this afternoon and get back to you. Now that quite a few people are getting involved, I may just make a master Q&A or FAQ thread for everyone.

Almost done? Just doing final revisions?

A good idea to have open discussions about it as a group btw... when I initially envisioned creating a team to attack DFS, that was the kind of thought that I had in mind. 6-7 guys sharing knowledge to absolutely slaughter everyone else.

We're not slaughtering!!!

[The_Niddler]

Count me in if we get to that 6-7 guys all working together.
This is what Corey and I discussed.
Get a little group, figure out the best lineups to use and just start working it.

After a few poor nights in a row I only have money left on draft kings. I am just going to go with my gut and take the first lineup I come up with. Everytime I tinker I end up sitting a stud for a dud.

[shel311]

Tonight's lineup:

Lowry
Joseph
Kobe
GIannis
Gay
Batum
Stoudamire
Thompson
Asik

Not sure how I feel about that one just yet.

[footballkelly31]

Draft Kings line up:

Chalmers
Evans
Gay
Nowitzki
Bosh
Price
Parker
Lopez

[DRiccio21]

Joseph
Lowry
Bledsoe
Evans
Batum
Hayward
Markief
Ed Davis
Robin Lopez

didn't play any studs tonight other than Lowry, little worried about that if the big names blow up

[shel311]

Clean sweep for me last night, won all my H2Hs and top 5-15ish in all my 80 and 120 person 50/50s, and 1 small GPP play that I got in the money for as well.

I scored 273.7. Lowry and Kobe led the way, and the big surprise was 38.3 points from Asik.

I think I've won 4 of 6 nights...shouldn't complain but it's all much lower amounts than the nights where I lost 5 of 6 nights that caused me to go lower. So I still got some catching up to do.
