Nice! What was your lineup?Nice week for me finally after up and down the first 3 weeks.
Won a 470 person tourney.
Won 2 separate 100 person leagues.
Finished 15th out of 4,300 in a tourney.
Finished top 5 in a few other 100 person leagues.
Didn't have Julio or Ryan at all.
Thanks, Mr. Rudolph! Managed to cash in all 3 of the 50/50s tonight. Ended up with 125.5 for that lineup, and still barely got it. The line for these Thurs-Mon contests were almost 10 points higher than the Sunday only ones - I assume due to having exposure to Green plus the others that went off yesterday. The cash lines were 121.48, 121.08, and 123.9 in the $2 50/50s I was in. The Sunday cash lines that I saw were more 112-113pts.KarmaPolice said:
haha. im glad im not the only one who thought this was ridiculous. i know, lets randomly put the ball into this useless #######s hands a ton of times for no good reason...
That is what is so frustrating about this deal. Those are the guys I pay attention too also, and I have been up and down for 4 weeks too. The funny thing is this was my best week by far. I guess it shows how we all interpret the information differently. It is hard to believe these guys are winning money playing the players they preach to us sometimes. I think, " I played that exact players and got killed, yet they say they win!" But once again, I had Cam, Gordon, Howard, Henry, Lambo, Bell, AB, SD WR's, Beasley, Hopkins, Cousins in a lot of my LU this week and won. I have been following Buzz advice on playing 3 cash LU each week, and I think that has helped me a lot. That way I mix and match the Chalk plays and they are all not on one team usually. I actually scored one of my highest scores ever this week on FD with a lot of chalk plays (Cousins, Bell, Gordon, AB, H Henry, Lambo, Wash) I added in Sanders, and Crabtree which obviously made a big difference. That got 162 points and carried me this week. One of my other LU had a lot of Chalk also, (DJ, Howard, Marvin, Tyrell Will, Hopkins, Z Miller, Lambo, Ariz) I added Stafford and that scored me 81 freakin points!
Yeah, like pod said above, I think it's just the combo of them and getting lucky in that regard. I played mostly the same people you list and had an above average week. If you would have played Cousins/Gordon/DJ/AB/Beasley/Henry/Lambo/Houston you would have done alright, but if you played another combo it could have been a disaster.
I guess I don't know who the others are besides Dodds. Don't know your spending over the weekend, but I am guessing these guys are in the thousands and thousandsof dollars. If they are playing the guys they suggest, I am sure they have so many more combinations and lineups in vs. the average Joes. Even if they did just go with 2-3 lineups, they probably have them in 100s of contests, and that would average out in the long run I would guess. There is less room for error for my poor ### that is rolling out 3 lineups in 3 $2 2xs each week.
The system exists because most people are losers long term. Personally Im fine with that, its entertainment. Its a skill game, and a challenge, and I enjoy playing the game every week trying to figure out the puzzle.KarmaPolice said:
