Fan Duel Week 2 (1 Viewer)

[candymanvandyfan]

It appears some of the same contests show different number of participants after the contest had gone live.

 

[Wonderllama]

I was pretty happy with my lineups... if anything, the crash saved me from putting Drew Stanton in all my lineups and losing all my money

⛩ If you had problems editing your lineups for Sunday 1pm NFL games, you can request an across the board cancellation of your entries. Once requested, we will cancel all your Sunday 1pm NFL entries regardless of your results. Processing these cancellations is going to take several hours, so disregard live scoring on those entries during that time.

So you can cancel all of your 1pm lineups or none? Am I reading it correctly?

Doesn't say when you have to request.

 

[Eminence]

Hey Em, what is your fanduel name? I would like to do a heads up with you

Avalanchi.

Next week we can do a 5 dollar heads up? If that is too low for you I understand

Naw, that's perfect.

 

[Pantherz]

The way that reads it looks like you could see how you're doing then decide whether to cancel them all or not. This has the potential to go very very badly for Fanduel.

 

[dancingbones]

Yep, stupid attempt at a resolution, IMO

 

[JimmyJabroni]

Yeah, there should be a cut off time listed for requesting a cancellation and it should be real soon. Or else a lot of people are going to feel really screwed over.

 

[j3r3m3y]

Yep, stupid attempt at a resolution, IMO

Agreed, this will be interesting. Considering their 20% vig I think they will be OK though.

 

[(HULK)]

I found a large overlay on a $10 tournament. Tried to put in 5 lineups. It took my $50, but said I only entered twice, and then none of the games are now showing for me. Ugh. I guess I'll give it some time to get sorted.

theywentthrough ?. Nice, it was a tourney that ended up with about the top 40% cashing

 

[JimmyJabroni]

So if someone was in a head to head and the other person cancels their lineup at 4pm after some of their 1pm players had a bad day, do they cancel the whole contest and that person gets screwed out of winning that likely would have been theirs?

Sounds like the winner gets screwed.

Even if you have a great score, your opponent has an out (& you won't know until later if the game counts or not).

That's lame.

 

[SYMPHONY X]

I notice that they say you can request cancellation, but it doesn't say how to go about submitting that request, as far as I can see. Anyone know the process for requesting cancellation? Send an email to customer support perhaps?

 

[Kev4029]

Couldn't access my lineups from 10:30 to 11 MST, and when the clock hit 11 the site was back running at full speed. Pretty shady.

 

[SYMPHONY X]

A.J. Green out for the rest of the game...toe injury. I see a TON of cancellation requests in the near future. Nightmare time for Fanduel.

 

[karmarooster]

ahhh, the agony, Locker is awful. 3 of 10 for 16 yards and a INT against ALLAS.

 

[JimmyJabroni]

Justin Hunter, where are you?

 

[SYMPHONY X]

ahhh, the agony, Locker is awful. 3 of 10 for 16 yards and a INT against ALLAS.

Yes indeed...a lesson learned for all of us: Do NOT, I repeat, Do NOT ever rely on a the likes of Hill and Locker in your daily FF lineups, regardless of how many studs that enables you to insert into your starting lineups elsewhere...LOL

Yeah, stick with studs like RG3 and Brees, amirite?

Also... Graham and Gronk have zero receptions in the first half.

Soooo I can cancel if my 1 PM lineups flop? Sounds like a freeroll unless they put a time constraint on it.

 

[Peyton Marino]

Brutal

 

[Peyton Marino]

Not losing hope on locker yet... Has an entire second half of high volume passing left

My post was meant to indicate that I am sharing in your misery. Not dogging you for starting Locker. I am in the same boat in a few lineups.

 

[Peyton Marino]

Now we're doing some things

Locker with a nice play to salvage some value... if only it had been to Hunter!

 

[Blue-Kun]

edit: dumb. ignore.

This just got posted on Twitter:

"So sorry to all impacted by site issues. If you want your 1pm entries fully canceled & refunded please contact support@fanduel.com by 2pm ET"

https://twitter.com/FanDuel/status/511202973012492288

So you have another half hour or so to decide.

2pm ET was an hour and a half ago.

Sorry, dumb, wrong time zone.

 

[Peyton Marino]

Not that I was affected, but that's pretty ####### bush league. What if you head out to the bar at 1 to watch the games

 

[Ignoratio Elenchi]

What's the alternative, give people all day to decide if they want to cancel their contests?

 

[karmarooster]

FD twitter got blowd up: https://twitter.com/FanDuel/status/511202973012492288

I completely missed the time. But I'm assuming soem of the people I'm playing against will cancel... if it's H2H, presumably I get my entry fee back in full too. But for larger leagues? If 3 people in my 10 person 50/50 cancel, then what? Odds get easier or everything recalibrates?

 

[Bobcat10]

AJ Green doesn't seem to be slowing down my 1pm Only action. Thankfully didn't use him in anything other than those.

Yes. And if the other side doesn't want to cancel, they win by default. When you take this much action you have to accept the responsibility when you screw up.

 

[karmarooster]

My 1pm Locker-Hunter stack didn't end up so badly.... 149 points.

But, no way to know if any of these have been 'cancelled' due to people asking for refunds.

 

[JimmyJabroni]

Sucks but I guess no matter how they handled this there would be people feeling screwed over. Cancel all games and everyone who was not affected by needing an edit is angry. Let people have all day to decide and their opponents are angry. Let people have until 2pm to cancel and those who weren't able to are angry. Lose lose situation all around. Hopefully this is a one time thing.

 

[JimmyJabroni]

I wish I could cancel the lineup where I had Forsett, Garcon, Hunter.

 

[nastynate]

What a nightmare. I dodged the early injuries and my guys showed up.

Hope I can drag a few $ out of this.

No, they still have the option to pay the winner if your opponent cancels after he sees he's lost. They already have a no lose business as it is. Fanduel should take the hit for this, not the customers.

I'm crushing this one. All 5 in the top 11 currently.

im winning everywhere and I was heavy on locker and hunter.

Who can't send email from their mobile phone these days?

 

[nastynate]

Had graham, gio and west all across my lineups. Feeling strong. If Kaep and Jordy play well have a shot at winning a 100 and 20 man leagues.

Washington D did well, mixed in with Houston.

After last week this MIGHT bring me to even.

 

[Peyton Marino]

Kill em hulk

 

[hagmania]

Pretty low scoring week for cashes it would seem.

 

[snellman]

Any one playing in the Sun Mon contests. I though about dropping a lineup if Marshall and Jeffery are out, but not sure.

I put in one at 4pm with Santonio as my value play. Now they both might be playing? Still fine with Santonio in there with Cobb, DT and Arian doing things, but not sure I want to do more.

 

[(HULK)]

We'll see how things shake out, but I'm guessing I won somewhere between $500 and $1500 this weekend. Nice. Outside of poor games from locker/hunter and Seattle d, all my other guys went bonkers.
