This is pretty much how I told some people the best scenario seems to play out. Find 10-20 guys and do a private league. If you run short of guys you can send an invite to murrayyyyy but I'll hold out if others want to join first. |

Going with a small group first. Will expand throughout the season if we start getting more interest.

No kickers on Draft Kings...but the good news is this would have fit under the $50K salary cap. The bad news is you'd be short one starter and only have, at best, about a third of the money left for a subpar flex. |

We have some odd scoring rules in our league (mostly the defenses), but that lineup was good for 197 this week. Figured this is about the only place to possibly brag about it  |

Just realized DK has single entry tournaments. I'll likely enter in one of these plus a few double/triple up games for week 2.

Thing is, if you were competent at poker, you COULD make money. Hell, I know I'm no great shakes and I made about $40,000 over a couple of years playing poker. I'm 10 times more knowledgeable about sports and after 3 months of playing daily fantasy baseball I realized I was just throwing money down the drain. Even the big buy in, smaller sized, big money tournaments, unless you have the perfect team, you're only triple or quadrupling your buy in, so you lose it on another day.

I'm assuming you didn't read the article to see what the single entry types are up against. There are sharks who are betting $100,000-150,000 a day on these events and getting between 100-300 winning entries in some of these events. They're basically covering all their bases with a lot of entries and also are using predictive models to cover those bases. It's impressive to say the least. |

You just have to find your niche. Play lots of double and triple ups and it is easy enough to make a profit. If you swing for the fences on these top end payout heavy 1 million payout tournys it is very difficult to keep a steady stream of income coming in.

I just play dollar and quarter games mostly because its fun to have a little something riding on the games. If I ever hit a big time lineup and steal a top prize in one of the big tournaments, it'll be well worth it. If not, I probably end up cashing out 50 bucks at the end of the year for the 25 I put in, and I will probably use that for something fun. I find that generally 2 double ups and a couple flyers in big tournaments and I break even at worst.

Created a 10 player (excluding Thursday game to give us time to fill). Sent out invites to those in last week and kingfc22 who missed the start of that one. If all join we'll need another player to fill the 10 spots.

I got my lineup in... Not sure how I really feel about it just yet, but I'm leaning heavily on one game for points. A little experiment.

I signed up with 100 bucks and got the 100 eventual match.
I played a rookie 50/50 and and double up. Interested to see where in the pecking order I would land. Ended up winning in both campaigns. 28 dollars total winnings. Had to wait until Monday to see if I would be caught by other players as I slinked back to the left. I had no plan, no anything, I just picked by my gut. The pure sucker strategy that makes this a fools errand.

I just realized I have a Draft Kings account from when they bought Draft Street. If there's room, shoot me an invite. Suicane is the handle.

I haven't figured out exactly what I like playing yet. I did 20 entries this week. Lost 10 bucks last week thanks to Brees injury, but that's part of the game
I have found by spreading it around with multiple entries into different contests you can make some money. But I find it fun having a little bit extra on games to make it even more fun for me to watch football on sundays |

Reminder of why I don't play. I think 189 is good until I click on live contests. How the hell are people scoring over 300?

I can certainly relate. After tonight, as long as Travis Kelce gets me 9 or more points, ill make around 20 bucks. If I didn't chose COOK as my damn TE this week, it would have been more, but unless you hit on EVERY SINGLE guy at every position, you aren't gonna make any real money, unless you are doing the small 50/50 or 3/3 leagues. That is where I think I am going to take my shots next week. Still trying to figure out how to play, but as each week passes, I realize more and more what the hell is actually going on. |
