FanDuel 2015 - Week 4 (1 Viewer)

I think I donated my $12 i put on mnf-tnf to that tropical fella. I just need to trust my gut/first impression.

Nice. Can you cash out the ticket?

I went 1/2 this week. Won my 50/50 and just missed the cut in my GPP. My 50/50 was for twice the entry fee though, so I am up for the week overall. I'll take it. Cooper, Karlos, and Charles carried me.

 
Haushka (spelling?) saved me tonight. May have only lost 20 on nfl which is not horrible considering how awful my lineups were.

 
I had a 51% win rate and brought home $3.60....wooo. I guess its not a loss, but my mnf-tnf line up will net a loss I am betting. I really fubar'd myself with my 4:05 LU going 1/11.

 
My main cash lineup is 4/4. $125 deposit up to $405 plus a survivor and entry to next week's million. Dodging bullets like I'm Neo. I fully expect to lose everything I wager next week.

Terrible week, but this would turn it around quickly.
:unsure: Starting to sweat.
Wow, damn nice! I don't see how they do that satellite actually. They give a ticket for a $5300 entry in a satellite that's $25 per entry and 100 entries. If my math is correct that's a bad deal for Fanduel, right?

Good luck in the Bootleg! You'll have to finish in the top 5 of 25 to make it pay. $50,000 would be nice!

 
Had the 5 dollar prime time PB Mansion Qualifier wrapped up last night. Was up around 8 points with no one able to catch me besides for the Lions defense. Then Wilson decides to fumble my trip away. Was the toughest loss I've had to date in dfs.

Overlay. The contest is suppose to have over 200 entrants. I noticed it with about 5 minutes left until kick off Thursday.

 
I need to credit David Dodds for this week. Im going to end up 3-7 on my weekly lineups and likely still turn a small profit. The strategy of building cash lineups like GPPS, and then entering close to half the contests as 3x and 5xs is pretty genius.

I wouldnt recommend anyone taking that approach if youre doing a single lineup, but if youre doing 3 or more I would take a hard look at the approach. When cracking Fanduel gets its first update it would be a great addition.
At least you didn't follow his stack the Pack advice.
This line up scored a measly 103.26 points. Cut lines were so low though, so it surprisingly was good enough to cash in 90% of 50/50's that I used it in.

Rogers/K.Williams/L.Murray/Cobb/Jones/Cooper/Bennett/Bryant/SEA-D :moneybag: :IBTL:

Bumm week.. If I would have just stayed with my initial lineup I would have done great. instead I am down $40. I would have cashed in all games played..I need to stop over thinking and tinkering.

Best lineup I had came in at 144. worst was 81.. Beckham jr, Gordon, M jones, J randle, G olsen. They all did horrible, not the worst lineup in the world, thought for sure it would cash in 50/50..But so many duds cant be overcome.

Hung on by .78 last night to claim 1st out of 16. He had Rawls breathing down my neck. That, and some Hauschka/SeattleD, helped me get to right around even for the week.

This week my initial lineup scored 137 and would have made me a lot of money if I had stuck with it. The final lineup I agonized over for hours only hit 115. Still a weekly winner but not a gpp casher.

Brutal. Makes my hit from those fumbles seem quite insignificant.

 
Sorry for the late post - busy day at work. This all related to week 4, so I'm posting here anyway - sorry mods :D

Essentially, I had a good week and killed it across all sites, but especially on FanDuel, thanks for Karma for suggesting the league play, which really boosted my ROI.

I'm teaching my friend how to play, and he had a down week, so it was a good chance to compare how we arrived at drastically different results. I noticed a few things, and thought maybe this might help some of the people here as well:

1) The Fade, by Bonnema (and a bit of confirming input from Jeff Mans) - this caused me to remove Julio, Fitz and Olsen from my lineups, which were pretty much replaced with Hopkins, A Cooper and Clay. Huge swing right there. My friend didn't read this article and stuck with mostly chalk plays. (I believe Fitzy has only ever scored 2 TD's against the Rams, and Julio rested week 1 (3 as well?) when they had a lead. There were signs.)

2) Contest selection - my friend didn't stick to 50/50 or doubles, played about 30% in triples and quints, and missed the pay lines by 1-5 points.

3) Over-diversification - we had am initial pool of players, maybe 3-6 at each position, except for WR. He went off the reservation here and there and inserted a dud into 25% of his contests. (Making it harder on himself.)

4) Played Thursday players in Thursday contests and/or didn't minor injury reports. This resulted in some duds in several of his lineups as well.

All in all, a few minor issues changed a win to a loss for the week for my friend.

Great insight- thanks

 
Seahawks tank: Andrew Luck, Ameer Abdullah, Arian Foster, Donte Moncrief, T.Y. Hilton, DeAndre Hopkins, Eric Ebron, Adam Vinatieri, Detroit Lions
Even though Abdullah and Ebron didn't do much, this one has promise. Despite there being only four eligible defenses, the Lions are just 3.7% owned and scored 22 points.
