Anyone try it? Like it?

Sirius Fantasy Sports had the million dollar winner from Draft Kings on for an interview on Wednesday and the dude said he had 60 different line-ups in the tournament.

When asked about the winning line-up strategy he said,"oh I took the line-up advice from Rotowire and used it."

I really suck at this...

**Mr. Flopnuts** · 10-12-2014, 06:43 PM

Shit scores in the 130's and 140's. On pace to come out about $15 ahead. Better than losing it all I guess.

Urc Burry · 10-13-2014, 07:42 AM

Did it my first week in two leagues.. I Should get in the 130s on one and 120s on the other tonight. Naturally the lineup I threw together on my first try ended up better than the one I tooled around with for a while

I came in 7th on the free game, and haven't done shit since. I played about 8 games this weekend, including 2 college games that I got my shit pushed in on. Didn't even score 100 on those. I'm only in the money in 3 of the 8 games, but it'll have me up on my deposit if it holds.

What irritates me is I play with 50k other people, score in the top 2% and win next to nothing for it. There is some luck involved here on top of straight drafting. Or maybe that's just what dumbasses like me say that don't really know what I'm doing. I've seen the commercials of the guys who have won over half a million playing this shit.

It's like crack though. I love it. It's entertainment. I'll either get better, or I'll lose a few bucks here and there. No big deal to me.

Thanks! Nosy, but curious none the less. Next time I go to Harrah's I'm going Diamond. We'll have to have a drink in the Diamond Lounge sometime!

I've got a couple more line ups in for $5 games this week. One for the 10 million satellite and another for the 250k game. I'll do some more, and may need to fudge my rosters if someone ends up not playing this week, but I'm liking what I got going on. The rosters aren't identical, but I've found that about 2/3 is the same every week, and I mess with the other 2 or 3 guys on each entry. What I haven't done yet is put the same lineup in the same contest multiple times. I've seen people do that in some of the double up and quintuple up games, but I haven't gone there yet. I still feel like I'm getting my feet wet.

**Mr. Flopnuts** · 10-17-2014, 10:37 PM

I've got multiple games going again this week. Think I'm up to 4, but I have a couple of lineups that are very similar, and a couple that are just completely different. I figure playing for low stakes I may as well mix the shit up some and try to catch lightning in a bottle with one.

I just put together a lineup though that I'm so in love with I'm thinking about using it for a $10 500k game. That's big money for me at this point. I don't mind if I crash and burn putting some more money on there though, I feel like I've already got my money's worth on the initial $25 I put on there and I have more than that at this point.

****, I wish more of you guys were into this or at least liked strategizing about it.

Yeah, I'm a dork. In fact, I DID play D&D as a kid...

Hootie · 10-17-2014, 10:40 PM
