NBA: FanDuel..

[apalisoc_9]

Down to $8 in my account. Lol.

$5, $2, $1 50/50 leagues only tonight.

anyone have any good production predictions for tonight?

This is not much, but Gibson is out and Gasol is GTD. Might be a good time to invest on mirotic who is only worth 3800..Might be the most valuable scrub tonight.

I've been basically below breaking even and not consistently winning. I've won some nice pots (meaning like $18 on a $1 entry), but end up losing it because I go big on a $50 tournament just for fun.

I feel I may have stumbled upon a potentially beast lineup tonight though..

[apalisoc_9]

in a 5-7 game day, what;s the most amount of possible realistic lineup can one come up with?

I feel like if you end putting 100 bucks on a tournament and come up with virtually every lineup, you are most likely going to win big..Anyone done this? on multi entry tournament of course.

100 would be no where near the level of all the possible lineups. It's not a bad strategy though if you have the time and patience to do it (I never have) because even though the combos mathmatically are large, probably only 30% of those are realistic anyways.

Still, no where near $100 would cover that, but $100 lineups would probably give you a good shot a placing pretty big if you did good combos.

I think there are more lineup variations than you think.

a lot more.

sure there are more than 100 lineups, but how much of them are realistic? Like for example surely, you wont pick a squad that will give you a remaining 4000 dollars in salary...

Specially if there is less than 6 games.

a top 20 finish would give you a 150 dollars for the most part so that gives 50$ in price winning.

Prior to depositing, I would usually come up with 10 different lineups and the range of scores would be from 190-310..Surely if you hit at least 295 ( I probably got really lucky with the 310) , wouldn't that quranatee you at least a top 100 finish?

I suck at probability math.

It'd be awesome though if we could come up with a formula that basically can't lose though...

With Dwhite out tonight, I think kostas papa is due for nice stat line.

Only cost about $4k.....

[apalisoc_9]

Since i won a total of 4 dollars in the last 4 days with 50/50 leagues Id figure I add another tournament entry.

A. Brooks C. Paul J. Harden W. Matthews L. James C. Parsons D. Motiejunas N. Mirotic I. Mahinmi

gotta finish at least top 300 to win 2 dollars in total..


Rose and Heinrixh are out so brooks might be a good pick

Hibbert is out and Mahinimi will most likely play 25 minutes

Dwight is still out..D. motijuenes might be a good pick

This is the right betting strategy. You should never really enter the same lineup in the big tournaments. If you do hit great, you win big twice, but you're much more likely to hit a big one with more entries. I've got 6 lineups in the two $1/$2 big tourneys tonight.

[Splits]

Here are some potential value picks for tonight:

Montejunas @$5000 (as apal pointed out) with Howard out
Canaan @$4400 with Beverley and Howard out
Aaron Brooks @$4100 (as apal pointed out) with both Heinrich and Rose out (though Rose is listed as questionable, doubt he plays)
Patrick Patterson @$4400 with James Johnson out

Although last time I posted these "value" picks they were busts, so use at your own risk

Yup..I'm +4 dollars in the last days just playing 50/50. Figured this is the best time to play tournaments.

I have never played tournaments though, I hope I don't need crazy numbers like 300-350 just to finish top 100...usually with 8 entries, one of them will hit at 280. I just don't know if that's enough to even win anything in big tournaments.

Any idea how many points one usually needs to finish at least top 500?

add Mahinmi to that list..hibbert is out.

Depends on the night and numbers that get put up. I've seen scores in the 330's with the $100k tournament, but the other night the winner put up 394 which was the highest score I've seen. If you're above 275 you usually finish in the top 15% and in the money. I play the tourneys to hit the homerun and play the 50/50s to try and bankroll the tourneys. I probably finish in the $ in about 20% of the big tourneys, it's hard.

I can imagine..With so muxh multi entries and only a number of realistic lineups..the difference between rank 10000 and 1000 is probably around 10 points...

Any luck with leagues? I don't see the point of doing leagues but I don't know..

[Blake]

I'm sour on Aaron Brooks after that (-3) game the other night.

Because you can make $8k on $2 if you get the perfect lineup

The difference between 1st and 10th is usually 1pt or less

wow

Actually I take that back, I've seen it that close but it is usually 5-10. Although I have seen scores jumping you in between payout levels in the 0.X point range.
