serge 904 Posted December 4, 2015 Author Share Posted December 4, 2015 oh and btw Golf is by far the most fun tourney on Draft Kings.. This week is a little different with no cut and a very small field though..Regardless, its very swingy and fun.. Did you guys get my pun? Its swingy... Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 I'm 95% sure that a Mattias Janmark +1 and John Klingberg +1 on the last minute empty net goal in the last game of the night moved me directly from winning $0 to winning $160 (buy-ins of $78). I'm running so hot in this. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 (most of my money was tied up in double up tourneys... 10 x $5 and 10 x $2... and it put me over the bubble on both, and into the money in three low stakes MTTs) Link to post Share on other sites

gruven 530 Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Players will accumulate points as follows:Goal = +3 PTS Assist = +2 PTS Shot on Goal = +0.5 PTS Blocked Shot = +0.5 PTS Short Handed Point Bonus (Goal/Assist) = +1 PTS Shootout Goal = +0.2 PTS Hat Trick Bonus = +1.5 PTS [*]Goalies only will accumulate points as follows: Win = +3 PTS Save = +0.2 PTS Goal Against = -1 PTS Shutout Bonus = +2 PTS [*]Goalie Scoring Notes: Goalies WILL receive points for all stats they accrue, including goals and assists. The Goalie Shutout Bonus is credited to goalies if they complete the entire game with 0 goals allowed in regulation + overtime. Shootout goals will not prevent a shutout. Goalie must complete the entire game to get credit for a shutout. Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Thats pretty much what I thought.

Zach6668 513 Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 +/- is a stat on Fan Duel. And it's worth way too much. Each + is worth 1 point (same for negative values). Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 +/- is a stat on Fan Duel. And it's worth way too much. Each + is worth 1 point (same for negative values). ah. im thinking that when you add something like +/-, which is fairly variable, and make it so valuable like you said, it adds even more volatility to the results. Would this be a correct assumption? curious Z, why play both DFS and FD. Is it just to test both sites for now, see which might be better long term for profit or is there something else?

Zach6668 513 Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Hmm, just for more volume I guess? I don't know. Link to post Share on other sites
Dubey 1,035 Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 tinkered with my 2 lineups quite a bit this morning after looking at the Thursday ownership percentages from fan duel. for lineup 1, I took out Mariota in favour of Fitzpatrick. Fitz is completely off the radar, below 1% owned, and he gets to go against the Giants awful defense. Also swapped out Maclin, who was around 10%, which was a little higher than I was expecting. Think he is still a good play, but I was able to go down to Devante Parker, who played 100% of snaps last week after Rishard Mathews went down with injury, and Mathews will not play this week. Also switched to Washington Defense who get to go against Matt Cassel, this allowed me enough money to go up to Deandre Hopkins in my flex and Odell Beckham in my WR1 spot (instead of Antonio brown). News came out that Darelle Revis will not be playing for the Jets so I want 100% exposure to OBJ this week. Lineup 1 is interesting now. I managed to squeeze in 3 of the top 4 WRs. All 3 will be in the 15-25% range which is pretty high, but I would guess the number of lineups that actually have all 3 will be pretty low. Here' what lineup 1 looks like now QB Fitzpatrick RB David Johnson RB Adrian Peterson WR Odell Beckham JR WR Julio Jones WR Devante Parker TE Scott Chandler FLEX Deandre Hopkins DEF Washington Link to post Share on other sites
Dubey 1,035 Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Also Bailed on Shaun Draughn. Couldn't stomach it. Looks like he'll be around 5%. I was thinking he was a good flier at like 0.2% but apparently I'm not the only one with that thought. I switched him to the flex and put in Julius Thomas instead, since I think the upside is quite a bit higher. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 The football talk may as well be another language to me. I think I have a ticket to one of the tourneys free with signing up. No idea what to do. Lolol. Link to post Share on other sites

Dubey 1,035 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Shitty week in NFL. Good raw scoring but every high owned player went nuts so everyone had high scores this week. pretty much middle of the pack with both lineups. 160is and 170ish, Ironically, the original "lineup 1" that I posted, before I tinkered it to oblivion would have scored 196.2 points, which would have been ~85th percentile or so. Good enough to cash in most Tourneys and make a bit of money, but nothing crazy. Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 I really lost it on Friday night. I had Gaudreau in my lineup, then took him out in favour of Monahan when I wanted to make a double switch. Johnny got 3G 1A, my original lineup would have won all my heads up. Question for you guys: I set a lineup. Then I go and choose heads up games I want to play, at certain $ values. Am I able to look at who I am playing against before the game starts? Are opponents cherry picking me, since I am new, or is it just random? Link to post Share on other sites

I make 50 games and then set the max at 1. I feel like DK matches up unmatched HU games right at 7 or whatever. In the meantime, players can sit with you. On DK I don't think they can see your stats though. I guess you can still get cherry picked if hardcore players don't recognize you. On FanDuel there doesn't appear to be any way to limit the number of times an opponent plays you. From the lobby though, you can go into player profiles to see how many wins they have at each sport (no losses though, so missing context.) You'll probably get cherry picked there until you get more wins, like I am. Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Dubey, need some advice: Regular fantasy football, FCFL semis, who do I start? Big Ben vs tough Den D (my opponent has A.Brown) or Bortles vs bad Atl D (I also have A.Robinson, nice combo maybe? I was also going to use Jax RB D.Robinson in my flex?) I cant decide, should I put all my eggs into the Jacksonville basket, or use Big Ben? thoughts from anyone else? Link to post Share on other sites
Dubey 1,035 Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 how good is the rest of your team? In a vacuum, I think I like Bortles this week. Their team total is higher, it's a better matchup. They rarely run in the red zone. Vegas thinks the game will be closer (JAX is -3, Pitt is -6.5) on the other hand, Having Bortles and the 2 Robinsons in your lineup is going to be pretty high variance. If the offense sputters, you basically have no chance to win your matchup. Also, Pittsburgh probably has the best offense in the league right now, and it seems crazy to have Big Ben on your bench in the playoffs. I'd probably still roll with Bortles unless I felt I had the far superior team in the matchup, in which case I'd go with Big Ben to reduce the variance a bit. Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 I would say the matchup is about even, or maybe opponent is a slight favourite. Ya, I dont like all 3 on same team, 1 bad week from Jax and its toast for me. But this might be my shot to beat a team that is better than me on paper this week. Thanks for the advice Link to post Share on other sites
Dubey 1,035 Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Week 17 should be a fun one in the NFL for DFS. Trying to figure out which guys are going to be playing full games and which guys are going to be resting. Hoping a little extra research pays off. Had a really good week 16. 3 lineups that all cashed in everything. 1 lineup was top 1%. A little tougher this week since there's no Thursday night game so we don't get the free ownership information from the Thursday Fan Duel tournaments, so I'll mostly be guessing at ownership levels.

serge 904 Posted January 20, 2016 Author Share Posted January 20, 2016 So I hadn't played DK in a couple months when I went busto. 2 days ago decided to put in $25 and play a little. Cashed my first tourney for $8 and had $33 in account. Yesterday wanted to play the $3 big one but just missed the cutoff by a minute. So I entered a $3 tourney with the 2 late games. I beat out 2300 players and took down first for $400. Huge sweat as I had to stave off bunch of Dallas players at the end as I was heavily into the Kings. I managed to win by a half point. Ty Kopitar, Vinny and Doughty. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
