2015-2016 DraftKings / Daily Fantasy Sports Thread

Hmmmm, I figured that was the case with regards to minutes = money.


Do you stack NBA typically? Or is a lot more mixing and matching?

NBA is different than NHL and MLB. The latter sports you can maximize your upside by stacking, in NBA often times if Westbrook goes off, Durant does not and vice versa.

Stacking a high-scoring game is a decent idea from both teams. Usually, if you're stacking a game, you will want a guy that gets a lot of points off rebounds and peripheral stats with a scorer. ie- stacking Harden and Howard can be beneficial some nights.

Just found out as of today only 4 states can play on Starsdraft formerly Victiv. Disppointed since it was my 2nd favourite and 2nd most profitable. That's 500 of my bankroll going somewhere else I guess.

Yah that's what I've tried to do on occasion. Perhaps I've just gotten unlucky with my picks so far.

I will say I think I need to stop playin great teams against shit ones. Stars always seem to sit the last quarter when they start blowing teams out

[Shep]

Close, high-scoring games are the most profitable in NBA.

[Nick]

Tonight is a crap shot in the NHL. Still got $ in play though!

[Shep]

Nick, I was thinking, I might use Rask tonight. Despite all my Talbot talk. We'll see.

[Bruyns]

I think Giroux and Voracek have a good night, I don't trust Boston at all especially with Bergeron being questionable.

I have a Rask lineup as well. I was too chicken to run a sheet of Talbot's. Turthfully i hedged my lineups by spreading out goalie selections. avoided cross-betting in single lineups but i do have a lineup with 2 bruins, and one with 3 flyers... silly night but we'll see.

[Bruyns]

Neuvirth is the better play to me and lets you spend elsewhere. Of course Rask could post a SO so you never know.

Giroux, Voracek and Streit are going to win me my 50/50s even with a bunch of off nights from other picks.

[KapG]

Woooof


Hahahaha boston and Detroit look like shiiiiiiiit.

[Shep]

Talbot was the beast I expected tonight.

I swapped my Flyers for Sabres at about 6:50 last night. I would have won the $25 tournament on FanDuel and profited a lot more than I did on DraftKings.

Woops.

[KapG]

Yah I figured G and V would have a good night but I fucked the rest of my picks up. Had talbot going in two games but swapped him out for varly and rask. Whoops

[Shep]

All in on Talbot last night. All in on Jones tonight.

[Arian The Insider]

Think I'll get back into playing tonight

[KapG]

Jones is the play eh? I'll go with you tonight on that one.


I gotta get back to your site so I can get some sneaky plays.

[KapG]

Yah man get back in it Arian!

I jus tout like 50$ in at the start of the year and try to make that last. I do fanduel because I prefer the 1$ and 2$ tournaments. Never cashed in a hockey tourney over at kings either so I feel I have bad luck on that site.

[foofnik]

SJ -1.5 is +265. I'll jump on the ship and throw some cash at that if Jones is the play of the day.

[KapG]

+265!?

Might throw a 5er on that

Edit: just tossed 5 on that game at +250

[Shep]

Jones is my play, doesn't mean it's the right one lol
