Well his shooting % is above 30%. Ovechkin is at 15% with similar goal production. Steen is finally getting some love due to this streak though.

Haha don't know what league you are looking at. You were 1 point ahead of me until you had a good night yesterday and my 2nd and 3rd overall picks were Hall and Neal and they haven't played much. Still plenty of time for you to drop in the standings.

Are you the guy in 3rd? Lol I have far far more games in hand than everyone, I think. Try to keep this interesting though. It's getting boring.

I don't think it's this. I think especially in hockey where there are so many good players on so many teams, picking the winning combo is very difficult. Yesterday out of the 1000+ people in the breakaway, I finished 45th and it was my highest finish.
I always win the double ups, which tells me I'm above the 50th percentile lol. But winning the Breakaways require someone to be in the 90-95th percentile to get in the money. That is not easy and requires a LOT of luck. You can have Crosby/Stamkos/Ovechkin on your team, but the remaining pieces are so random on every night that it's so hard to predict.
I think overall I'm up like $5 on my invested $10 lol. Not going to ever make a lot on this. I might get lucky one night and finish #1 on the breakaway and win $200 but other than that, it is going to be a grind to build up the bank roll.

I agree, I think you are disciplined enough to stay on 50/50s, you can make a good amount of money

i get like that too but then the realist in me takes control.
i've only ever made money off 50/50s so far and even when i do im between 18-25 of 50 teams. there aint no way in fuckin hell im finishing top 10% of a 1000 person league or whatever it is.

I've cashed in tournies (most was $40 in a $2 one), but its mostly just draining my account.
However, I am at like 70-80% in the double ups. I should do that more, but it's such a grind.

I do the double ups/triple ups not the 50/50s.
I hate that FanDual takes 10%.. that's an insane rake.

Gotta be $5 or more.
And instead of getting $9 in a 50/50, you get $10 but have to come Top 50 of 112, so it's 45/55 instead of 50/50.

Had a pretty good night:
1st out of 50 in the $1 50/50 (wish this was worth more)
48 out of 1117 in the $1 Breakaway
11 out of 112 in the $5 Double Up
Put in $7, came out with $16.80. BIG MONEY!
