I was listening to the 4for4 podcast last week and they had a listener question about how to play a low bankroll, esp. on DK - so I am going to try that this year.
Their example was for a $100 bankroll that you could add $10 here and there to if you wanted to, which is where I am at after MLB season. The breakdown was odd, and I am not used to doing 3 LUs for cash, but it was:
- $15/week to start (usually about 10%), so that could increase as the bankroll increases) and do $12 in "cash" contests, and $3 in gpps.
- 3 Cash LUs, so $4/LU there.
- for each of the 3 LUs do 2 $1 50/50s or 2xs, 1 3x, and one 5x or 10x booster.
- for most of the gpps target the 25 cent, 2378 entry contests. The point was to be able to give a little boost but not to have to go up against 237K entries in the Jukebox for all your entries.
- the last $1 or so of the gpps put in the bigger YOLO gpps like the Jukebox or do a $1 SE.
- for most of the gpps in the small entry contest, do slight variations of the cash LUs for a little variation but don't go crazy, then do the crazier ideas in the huge gpp.
I think this is similar to what Dodds suggests as well with the cash + LUs.
I have placeholders in all this stuff for this week, so I will try this out. I think the cash LUs will be similar, but with pivots like one with Kelce, one with Henry, etc.. I had extra winnings from MLB, so I also put in 3 entries into the $3 3max entry gpp for a little extra fun.
