Got into the money in a $2 50/50....and I had Teddy at QB who got me just a tad over 5 points. Thankfully I had Forte, Oliver, Jordy, and Lions D. I also had Emmanuel Sanders, Terrance Williams, and Niles Paul who didn't do so hot for me but I still got 6th play out of 20

Just started this week. Cashed in one of the 100K for $8! I am rich!

[indyguy]

21 entries, $33 spent.

Won 12 of the 21 entries for $48. $15 profit for the weekend. I'll take it.

I only play 50/50 on draft kings the $1 multi entry with like 22k people. I enter 25 times. I have yet to place out. Super easy when there are that many people. Much less variability in the statistics.

Do you enter with the same team for all 25 entries?

Idk about draft kings but on fanduel you can change it every time if you like

[ssbledsoe]

Loading up on some Texas State players for the Tuesday-Thursday CFB games. Tyler Jones is likely to go for 30+ points on his own. Filling my gaps with Utah players.

What's the most you guys have won in a Fanduel tourney? Decided to try the site out for the first time last week and got $15 on a $5 entry, and could have easily been $300 or more if not for Eli laying an absolute dud. Seems like a pretty easy way to double money...which particular tourneys do you guys prefer? Does the variance go down as the entrance fees go up? (kind of like online poker back in the day, fish are at the small tables while sharks are primarily at the 5/10 and up).

I always put atleast one entry into the 25$ entry sunday million because it pays double your money up to the 10,000th or so spot. Then I play around in the 10-5$ tourneys but I have a max of 50$ a week spent.

Ive hit 175$ one week, 100$ last week, plus Ive won like 40$ in the smaller tourneys and double ups. And I won 1st place in one of the charity events and got a Jonathan Stewart Auto cleat.

I would be curious to hear what others say as well. As for me, the most I have ever won is $75 in the FD 1.75K entry and $100 in the Dk 1 million dollar entry.

Awesome, thanks for the info and congrats on your success. Think I might try another 5 or 10 dollar tourney before I step up to the $2x+. But it does seem easy enough to place within the top 10k on most of these tourneys unless you just have a totally disastrous week.

Yea, its pretty risky and you do get skunked some times lol especially when some of the studs that you spent most of your money on end up flopping...

I cant give you too many secrets cause then id have even more competition lol.

Lol indeed. Oddly enough, I played a very similar roster to my actual yahoo league roster in terms of sleepers, and went with Forte instead of Lynch (thank god). 5-1 in my yahoo league in my first year of fantasy, so it's worked out well. But nothing you can do when your big $ guys decide to lay an egg Just gotta keep on truckin'

I've won $400 in NBA and $300 in MLB, biggest cash out in NFL was only $100, I just started doing NFL this year though, I joined late last November for basketball so could not get much Football in.

FWIW both my big wins came on $25 entries into leagues (100 people), not tournaments

Those are some nice cash outs. What's the cutoff for the winnings in those 100 people leagues? Top 20?

You can do college sports?

[Josh611]

Anyone up to doing a blowout league on there for the week? Free, $2, $5 or whatever. I'd be in for one.

Much like Heroin and Cocaine - Fanduel and Draftkings, one and done. Once ya try it, you can't stop. Know many a good man who has fallen victim to Fanduel - doubling up on the guys they already have on their 17 weekly leagues, so you just feel the sting more or double your joy! Winning once isn't enough, ya gotta chase that high!
