Fanduel / Draft Kings Discussion

[trendon]

If u mind me asking what makes u confident in this? Chalmbers on back to back against golden state who are really good. Olynyk inside vs horford and the hawks who are being dubbed the spurs of the east.

I dunno my ass from a hole in the wall with ball tho.

I just felt I got great value at every position. Every player is an elite play according to Notorious, so that's good. Looking decent so far, certainly not a banner might barring some insane second halves.

[trendon]

Odd night. Got 5x value out of every player but Griffin and nearly lost. Won all cash games by a nose.

LMA went offfff

The AD/Vucevic combo got me 94 points last night, 47 each. On Monday, I think it was Monday, the same combo got me exactly 100, 53 and 47.

They'll combine for -8.1 points next game(s), lol. Mean regression!

Withdrew so now I am down to $60 risks, fine with me. I have made a grand so far. A far cry from the gold rush I thought it would be, but considering the time I am ultimately spending on it, I am happy.

First time I have ever had two five-figure players in the lineup. The price on Johnson on DK is insane; he is like $6,000 on FanDuel.

I follow Basketball Optimizer on Twitter. They have a website, claim to win 69% of the time or something. I haven't paid much attention to their lineups, so take this FWIW, but they post an FD lineup daily, and here's what they got for today as of now, barring changes:

B Knight
Kyrie
JR Smith
Giannis
K Middleton
Wes Johnson
Motiejunas
K Love
Zaza

Most of that lineup already started cause of nyk mil. Also I follow them and don't trust anyone hitting 70%. If they were they'd keep to themselves and make a living off this.

Hmm, Lebron/Vucevic or Cousins/Gay...tough call.

3 super cheap value plays always makes me nervous, I had 2, but i'm not sure if Jrue Holiday will play tonight, so I took him out.

Didn't go with either combo, but Lebron/Vucevic played well, so I'm not looking good. Courtney Lee doing me in.

[DRiccio21]

Lee got benched tonight for Green

i have him in my season long league, not too pleased

Yea, it was posted shortly before tipoff but I didnt catch the tweet in time to make the change.

Stinks cause my risky 3 value plays I mentioned all paid off with Galloway/Sims/Jason Smith all playing well, giving good value. But obviously those guys are highly owned, an Lee was not and barring Lillard going off, which he is not, I'm probably in trouble.

[shel311]

KD is also killing me. Sucks cause my very last decision was Lebron/KD, and it looks like I lost on that one too.I've only lost my entire night's pay once in the last 19 days, and about 15 plays, so I guess I can't complain. But this was my biggest bet night out of all those nights.

[shel311]

Lee ended with a somewhat respectable 15 points. KD/Wes Matthews/Lillard all played well in the 2nd halves, so I finished much higher than I thought I would. won all my 50/50s, and a small cash in the only tourney I played.

Probably gonna make a smaller play tonight, probably loading up with 3 or 4 Portland guys.

Cowboy Corey's bailed on me for daily DFS talk, and now this thread is dead. Woe as me!!!

I play on a fairly new site that's offering no rake til April. Corey made a killing before he bailed, and I'm up pretty big now considering I don't bet too much daily.

If anyone wants to sign up and use me as a refferal, we both get $100 bonus money, so let me know.

I just deposited $100 and got a $400 bonus and there is no rake until April 1st? While I know better, this screams scam!

Nah, it's legit. I've withdrawn a few times. I was weary at first too. Let me check see if I got another $100 as well.

I've been playing on it since early December ish.

[shel311]

Yup, got it. Thanks!

[trendon]

This is a ludicrous deal and reminds me of online sports betting in the late 90's. I don't remember the details, but my father spent almost a year playing with ONLY bonus/freeplay money and he wasn't doing anything or sneaky.
