[apalisoc_9]

wow didn;t even crack 200 points today

[Blake]

For the first time in for fucking ever i cracked 300

[Holden_Caulfield]

damn horford with a great start and hes nowhere in my lineups :lol

[Holden_Caulfield]

scores 290+ in 3/6 entries, didnt cash :lol

[Malik Hairston]

scores 290+ in 3/6 entries, didnt cash :lol

I scored 317 points in my $5 league and won 0:lol..

Thankfully cashed $20 in the $2 tourney that I play like the lotto..

[Blake]

Last night blew.

COJO better play his ass off tonight.

[Blake]

Tough night. in the three 50/50s i played, nobody cracked 300.

Monta Ellis fucked me over in two of the three.

[Splits]

1 am here in Tokyo, need HH 3 to give me the blind winning lineup tbh

[Blake]

I'm loading up my rosters with Amare tonight against the Spurs.

Also gonna try Baynes.

[AlexJones]

1 am here in Tokyo, need HH 3 to give me the blind winning lineup tbh

Seen any Naruto posters around? - no pun intended

[Malik Hairston]

Wasn't feeling tonight, so didn't play any $10/$25 leagues, decided to just play a few small tournies..finished with $102.50 from $10:lol..

Thought I was going to win the 10k, though, smh..

http://i59.tinypic.com/2yx0opl.png

[Splits]

My best lineup tonight finished with a 318, while getting a big fat ZERO from Carl fucking Landry for a measly $9. $4k winner was 364. smh.

[apalisoc_9]

First time getting 330 points.....

Durant injured

and a mediocre night from Metijunas ruined my team...

If durant didn't get injured I probably would have hit 350 and an extra 14 points from Dontes would have done it...:cry

[Holden_Caulfield]

ive been getting killed the past few days :cry

[apalisoc_9]

Man I lost 25 dollars since i started playing..

ever since i stopped playing the 50/50 leagues it just went downhill :lol..

Going for my last game tonight with 6 dollars left..

http://i61.tinypic.com/2afa2ht.png

http://i57.tinypic.com/10icuax.png

[apalisoc_9]

wouldn't this be easier in the playoffs since the rotations are set?

I still 23 dollars from my initial 50$ deposit. I almost forgot about it.:lol

I'll play tonight.

[313]

Anybody play the nfl variant of this?

[Blake]

Yeah gonna skip tonight but play this weekend. Who do you got as sleepers

[TheSanityAnnex]

Yeah gonna skip tonight but play this weekend. Who do you got as sleepers
Haven't looked at the prices yet but I'm guessing these guys are cheap sleepers.

Stevie Johnson, Danny woodhead, Nelson arghlor (sp?), matt jones was rb, Charles Johnson Viking wr, amendola, ryan Mathews, McFadden , Eifert, Bradford I'd start on every team if cheap.

[DPG21920]

Yeah gonna skip tonight but play this weekend. Who do you got as sleepers

So many guys on the surface are great values: Tyrod Taylor, Sam Bradford, John Brown, Eifert.

[Blake]

I played Tommy, Gronk and Antonio Brown in the two entries I made and won a few bucks.

[Blake]

So many guys on the surface are great values: Tyrod Taylor, Sam Bradford, John Brown, Eifert.

I hate playing one hit wonders like Tyrod or Mariotta. On the flip i love playing against guys who jump on them.

[Blake]

Any cheap RBs out there?

[DPG21920]

I hate playing one hit wonders like Tyrod or Mariotta. On the flip i love playing against guys who jump on them.

Taylor has been amazing first two weeks. If you went with him had a great shot through 1st 2 weeks.

[apalisoc_9]

Can't wait for the NBA season for this...I lost 130 dollars last season. :lol

[Blake]

Taylor has been amazing first two weeks. If you went with him had a great shot through 1st 2 weeks.

Week 2 yes, week 1, probably not.

195 yards and 1 TD won't win you money.

I'm hoping a ton of dudes jump on Tyrod in fanduel this week.

[DPG21920]

Plus 41 yards rusing. More than justifiable production per dollar. Sure, you may hope that, doesn't change the fact he's produced plenty of points per dollar to start the year.

[DPG21920]

Any cheap RBs out there?

Obvioulsy Starks if Lacy is out. Spiller has some potential. Matt Jones, Gio Bernarad and Johnson from Ari all good value RBs with big enough upside to pay off.

[InRareForm]

I am up +175 in baseball tourneys.

Land a Vegas favorite pitcher and do good value shopping. Been cashing at a good rate lately

Can't wait for NBA tbh

What were your winnings? WHat was the buy-in?

[HarlemHeat37]

I've made $4200 through 2 weeks by mostly playing 50/50s and heads-ups, tbh..I've won a bit on tournaments, but they're probably around 80% luck, so you're essentially playing a skilled lottery:lol..advice for new players on tournaments: don't ever play more than 2 top-tier players on the same roster..

There are a ton of fish right now, tbh..I have created over 10 separate accounts the past 2 weeks and loaded up on $25 rookie games, since only new players are permitted to play, limited amount of sharks:lmao.

Can't wait for the NBA season, I should be able to easily make around $200 per day IMO...

[DPG21920]

I just did my lineup:

QB: Weeden
RB: DeMarco Murray
RB: Lamar Miller
WR: Brandin Cooks
WR: Mike Evans
WR: Mike Wallace
TE: Gavin Escobar
DEF: CLE
K: Tucker

I only play heads-up and I have this in a $100 heads up. Anyone that wants to play me heads up for that amount vs this lineup, let me know..

Instead of playing you heads up for $100 how about I just tell you that lineup is disgusting. Haven't looked at the players cost but I'd guess you have a few thousand left to spend. This has to be a troll lineup right? :lol

[HarlemHeat37]

:lmao You're a nice guy. It's a terrible lineup - I was just kidding

K good:lol..I had a feeling you were playing, but you never know..

[DPG21920]

My brain gets in the way - always good value out there. I think for me is just picking a lineup consistently with small adjustments. Sure, in one week, having 3 top flight WR may bust you (which sucks bc you spent your money there), but over the course of a season? If you can fit really good players into your lineup over the long haul it should work out.

But it's such a variable thing with it being weekly.

[TheSanityAnnex]

What were your winnings? WHat was the buy-in?

Didn't win much as I start the season only playing $5-10 games until I build up the bankroll. Up $350 so far. Best finish was 150th out of 60,000 for 200 bucks. Could have hit it much bigger but Carlos Hyde and Justin Forsett shit the bed.

[DPG21920]

I really just play $1-$5 tournaments. Have probably lost money, but not much. I know it's not the way to really try and win money long-term, but it's more fun.

I like my lineups this week (says every person ever).

[InRareForm]

What's the buy-in in those million $ leagues?

I'm thinking about doing 50 $1 lineups this week and see what happens, maybe hit one big.

[HarlemHeat37]

I haven't decided on my lineups, yet, but so far:

Cash game considerations
QB: Brady, Rodgers, Luck, Rothlisberger, Newton(#1), Mariota
RB: Peterson(#1), Lynch, Murray, Charles, Gordon, Woodhead, Lewis
WR: Marshall(#1), Brown, Hilton, Edelman, Thomas, Sanders, Landry, Fitzgerald, Moncrief
TE: Gronk(#1), Olsen, Kelce
K: anybody
D: Seahawks(#1), Texans, Panthers, Broncos, Browns

Tournaments
QB: Rodgers, Newton, Mariota, Dalton, Foles
RB: Peterson, Charles, Murray, Crowell, Stewart, Gordon, Woodhead, Miller
WR: Thomas, Sanders, Green, Wright, Hilton, Robinson, Hurns, Charles Johnson, Stevie Johnson, Britt, John Brown, Rishard Matthews, Landry, Watkins, Baldwin, James Jones, Maclin
TE: Gronk, Cook, Ebron, Olsen
D: Texans, Panthers, Broncos, Browns

[DPG21920]

Harlem how has it been spending money on a defense?

I always cheap out on them and get one of the bottom dwellers. Have you found it worth the money to get a top D?

The difference in a defense you like vs a cheap one is normally minimal ($300-500). I always pick the defense I love the most that week, then work backwards if it means the difference in someone like Gronk or a lesser TE for example.

[HarlemHeat37]

Harlem how has it been spending money on a defense?

I always cheap out on them and get one of the bottom dwellers. Have you found it worth the money to get a top D?

I don't usually spend up on a defense because I value players more at the expense of the D..if I can make room for a better player, I'll take it instead of the defense, since there's a lot of variance with defense (lucky fumbles, blocked punts, returns, etc, even the worst defense could get one of those)

In cash games, your opponent's ownage percentage is mostly meaningless, so an expensive play like Seattle makes sense this week..for tournaments, I probably won't even consider them, since I'm expecting that they are going to be owned at an astronomical rate in every tournament..

I agree with your strategy on defenses to an extent..I don't get bottom dwellers, but I usually go middle of the pack, especially if that defense is playing against a shitty QB(like the Falcons this week, risky play, but could be rewarding)..

I'd swap in Ivory for Murray and Maclin for Benjamin

[HarlemHeat37]

Benjamin has been on one of the luckiest streaks youll ever see, tbh:lol..I wouldn't start him anywhere, but maybe the luck will continue..can't believe he helped make a couple of millionaires with barely any targets...

[TheSanityAnnex]

Benjamin has been on one of the luckiest streaks youll ever see, tbh:lol..I wouldn't start him anywhere, but maybe the luck will continue..can't believe he helped make a couple of millionaires with barely any targets...

[313]

I'd swap in Ivory for Murray and Maclin for Benjamin
I would swap Ivory in but he's still qustionable to play. That Browns D gave up 28 points to Ivory first week so I'm hoping Murray can do the same. Maclin has been complete ass this year.

[TheSanityAnnex]

Benjamin has been on one of the luckiest streaks youll ever see, tbh:lol..I wouldn't start him anywhere, but maybe the luck will continue..can't believe he helped make a couple of millionaires with barely any targets...

In my two fantasy leagues two dumbfucks picked him up off waivers and I was able to nab their dropped Decker and Dez Bryant :lol

[DPG21920]

Yup, but it wasn't because of the defense. Basically, pick the defense you like best then work backwards was my suggestion

[Blake]

There are a ton of fish right now, tbh..

:lol it's cracking me up how many people loaded up on Thursday night players because they couldn't wait. I'm thinking it should be another easy money week

[DPG21920]

In 2 of the 3 $2 tournaments I played last week, I had DEN defense for example. I cashed out both of those. It's not because of Denver defense but it helped and didn't cost me any player I really liked to get them. If it would have, I would have gone elsewhere.

[Blake]

Harlem how has it been spending money on a defense?

I always cheap out on them and get one of the bottom dwellers. Have you found it worth the money to get a top D?

I concur. I look for the cheapo D that's going against a mediocre offense.

[HarlemHeat37]

:lol it's cracking me up how many people loaded up on Thursday night players because they couldn't wait. I'm thinking it should be another easy money week

Yep..those Thursday games are usually bad, so it makes sense to play the Thursday games in tournaments without actually taking any Thursday players..

[TheSanityAnnex]

:lol it's cracking me up how many people loaded up on Thursday night players because they couldn't wait. I'm thinking it should be another easy money week

Those are the best to play in. :lol

Half of the league uses every player they can from the Thursday night game and are done before Sunday even starts. I'm convinced they think they have to use all of the Thursday night guys, can't figure out any other reason to do so.

[HarlemHeat37]

Outside of AB I don't have a reliable WR2 :lol

I'm going for the HR :lol

My WRs are embarrassing in my fantasy league..

- Keenan Allen
- Donte Moncrief
- Kendall Wright
- James Jones
- Charles Johnson

:lmao

I've been trying to make a trade for weeks, no biters..I was feeling pretty good about Allen after week 1, but that was short-lived..

[HarlemHeat37]

I slapped him in couple fan duels to see if the luck continues but I'm sure he'll be a dud.

He's worth trying in tournaments IMO, you need to hit on sleepers in those, boom or bust guys make a lot of sense, but I've seen him in cash game lineups, which is a massive risk, he barely has any targets..

[HarlemHeat37]

A lot of the "sharks" are high on Melvin Gordon, been hyping him all week, but one of those DSF "experts" was on SportsCenter last night and told the entire country that Melvin Gordon was his play of the week:lol..hopefully it doesn't cause a shift..

[Blake]

I'm convinced they think they have to use all of the Thursday night guys, can't figure out any other reason to do so.

Yah, thinking the same. Don't know why someone would do that on purpose

[DPG21920]

I wonder how many FDP are scored in one game. If there's a game you like and you pick the best players, I wonder what the average total FDP's is for the optimal lineup in one game? Maybe it's pretty high and that's why they do it?

[Blake]

I've been trying to make a trade for weeks, no biters..I was feeling pretty good about Allen after week 1, but that was short-lived..

moncrief is strange. He's got skill but it makes no sense that he's kicking ass on a team with TY and Andre

I have plenty RBs so I'm gonna see what I can get for Morris. I should've tried to sell him last week, but hopefully I can find a sucker who still thinks he's worth a wr2 :lol

[Blake]

I wonder how many FDP are scored in one game. If there's a game you like and you pick the best players, I wonder what the average total FDP's is for the optimal lineup in one game? Maybe it's pretty high and that's why they do it?

Dunno. That seems like buying an airline ticket just to get the mileage points

[TheSanityAnnex]

A lot of the "sharks" are high on Melvin Gordon, been hyping him all week, but one of those DSF "experts" was on SportsCenter last night and told the entire country that Melvin Gordon was his play of the week:lol..hopefully it doesn't cause a shift..

I've got Gordon in just about every lineup. Hyde ran all over Minny and Gordon finally got some touches last week and should see even more this week. Especially with SD trying to keep Peterson off the field. Only thing I worry about is Woodhead stealing his touches in the redzone. Lil' Cracker just has a knack for finding the endzone. Win/Win for me as a Charger fan at least.

[DPG21920]

Dunno. That seems like buying an airline ticket just to get the mileage points

Well if the math works maybe that's why they do it. Let's say the average winning FD score in a large tournament is 300 (just making that up) and every week, the highest scoring game (with optimal lineup chosen) is 288. Might make sense - highly doubt that is the case - just thinking of the "why"

Highest guy in mine from last night is 100 points. Last winning position is 2066th place with 32 points.

12,000 people and I'm in 5,000th place with 13 points from my kicker. Almost in the money :lol

The "why" is there are seriously developmentally disabled people playing who think you have to use everyone from Thursday's game. It is the only thing that makes sense, take advantage bro.

Yeah really that's the only thing that makes sense. Especially when it's two teams like the Skins and Giants with just a couple of dudes worth starting.

I saw at least five lineups that had Eli, Morris, Beckham, Giants D etc.

I guarantee I score more than those dudes.

[Blake]

I've got a few lineups, but my favorite:

Ben
Sproles
J Charles
Moncrief
Edelman

Jets D

Taylor with another really strong start at great price so far.

Yeah, looking very stout in the first half

[HarlemHeat37]

I'm on pace to win every single heads-up and 50/50 that I played(15 of them ranging from $25 to $270 buy-ins), but I did pretty poorly on tournaments, 3 or 4 wins out of 15..this was by far the toughest week for tournies, so many monster games at the skill positions..

Cash games are really easy, though, if you're trying to make money, rather than just playing for fun or trying to hit the jackpot, tbh..

[BD24]

I'm ready for NBA to start again, came out about +500 dollars on the season last year. Didn't start playing till the midway point though. Planning on throwing down a bit more money on it this year though, who knows maybe I even get lucky and win one of the big ones.

DraftKings Employee With Access To Inside Info Wins $350K At FanDuel (http://deadspin.com/draftkings-employee-with-access-to-inside-info-wins-35-1734719747)
Last week, DraftKings writer Ethan Haskell inadvertently leaked ownership and lineup data pertaining to his employer’s biggest contest—the Millionaire Maker—before the start of all the weekend’s games. Doing so made him at the least appear to be committing, if not straight fraud, something that looks a lot like it.


Winning a contest like Millionaire Maker, which has hundreds of thousands of participants, is less about buying up the best players than about finding market inefficiencies and selecting players who will help the fewest amount of your competitors while running cheap relative to their production. (This is basic tournament strategy; it’s the same reason you’re discouraged from picking all chalk in a large March Madness pool.) Thus, when you select a lineup, you have to try, blindly, to determine both the bargain value and how under-the-radar your lineup will fly.


Of course, if you have this data ahead of time—as certain DraftKings employees evidently do, or did—you have a massive advantage over your competitors. There’s no guesswork, only algorithmic scheming. You can remove the behavioral uncertainty from the equation and play knowing all opposition strategies.


Haskell, apparently possessing this information, went and played a similar mass entry (GPP, or Guaranteed Prize Pool) contest at FanDuel—the other of the two monopolistic daily fantasy sites—and took second place and $350,000 from a $25 bet. DraftKings employees are prohibited from playing their own daily fantasy games, but are allowed to freely play on other sites.


This wouldn’t be an issue if different DFS sites had significantly different lineup data and game structure, but salaries are analogous between the sites, and the structure is the same. According to a forum post by RotoGrinders co-founder Cal Spears that was corroborated by a DK executive, Haskell did not have access to the data before he set his winning lineup—a point that casts some doubt on butch headlines like The New York Times’s “Fantasy Sports Employees Bet at Rival Sites Using Inside Information”—but the availability of the information is still causing legitimate eyebrow-raising.


Because DFS is legally classified as skills-based rather than gambling, it doesn’t draw the regulatory scrutiny of, say, online poker, which has had its own share of employee scandals involving insider data. Thus, we have people who work for the biggest two DFS companies havng access to information that is ostensibly useless since it only pertains to their own site (which they can’t play). But the information is not innocuous, and it gives those with inside information a decided edge. An anonymous industry employee told Legal Sports Report that, “a significant number of the whales at the top DFS sites are employees – often executives – of other sites.” They logically wouldn’t put money in their competitor’s pockets unless it was significantly beneficial to them.


Given the amount of money that stands to be made and the ease of moving across sites, this is a climate ripe for insider trading. We see trading like this across industries. It would be naive to think DFS is immune.


The two sites released a joint statement responding to the leaks which said:


Nothing is more important to DraftKings and FanDuel than the integrity of the games we offer to our customers. Both companies have strong policies in place to ensure that employees do not misuse any information at their disposal and strictly limit access to company data to only those employees who require it to do their jobs. Employees with access to this data are rigorously monitored by internal fraud control teams, and we have no evidence that anyone has misused it.


However, we continue to review our internal controls to ensure they are as strong as they can be. We also plan to work with the entire fantasy sports industry on this specific issue so that fans everywhere can continue to enjoy and trust the games they love.
About those internal controls: the Fantasy Sports Trade Association (FSTA) regulates fantasy sports from within. Two of its board members are the CEOs of our friends FanDuel and DraftKings. So even if you believe that the FSTA has the clout and influence to keep these massive, rapidly expanding companies in check, you’d also have to trust that the two men who stand to make the most from them would have it in their hearts to play along and ensure fairness at every step. In the absence of any sort of official regulatory oversight, we have no way to know how substantiate the claim that there is no insider trading or collusion.


Daily fantasy’s classification as a skill-based game is what allows it to exist as a $2.5 billion industry and not an underground, shadowy system like out-and-out sports betting. DraftKings and FanDuel spent a combined $32 million in advertising during Week One alone (some of it even made its way here to Deadspin!). As they grow and grow, which seems likely given their attempted takeover of any and all advertising spaces where the viewer might have a passing interest in sports as well as their creeping advancement into editorial content, they will undoubtedly draw the attention of the government.


So the Haskell leak and subsequent profit may or may not be the product of insider trading (there’s no incentive or legal requirement that for DraftKings to announce that Haskel committed fraud if he had), but it is absolutely a canary squawking in the DFS coal mine that a predatory faux-gambling industry has built up to take advantage of short attention spans. That mine is very large, and very much in need of regulation. DraftKings and FanDuel may be broadly trying to take over the world, but the legal window permitting their attempts is very narrow.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Nevada regulators ordered daily fantasy sports sites like DraftKings and FanDuel to shut down Thursday, saying the hard-to-miss sites that have flooded the marketplace with TV and Internet ads cannot operate in the state without a gambling license.

The decision comes amid growing backlash by regulators and investigators, including New York's attorney general, after it was revealed employees often played on competing sites, raising questions about possible insider information being used to win.
