New rule, include Freeman and Hopkins into every lineup ever.

Yeah Freeman in particular play him until he loses you money, basically.

That last second TD from Bell took me from down 20 bucks to up 30, so thanks Leveon!

So, illegal then.

This is exactly how online poker was dealt with, via making it illegal to offer.

He means that casinos can't offer it but residents of Nevada can still play on FD/DK.

I'm not certain that is true but that is what he is disagreeing on.

I read that post like three times and freaked out about there apparently being some Gostkowski news I didn't know until I realized you just meant only FD uses kickers.

Any news on Dion Lewis yet? I'm using him across a few 50/50s and a H2H.

Also how do you guys pick opponents for H2Hs, I see a lot of people with a lot of wins. I found one guy with 170 or so and took my shot with him, but is there a good way to find quality H2H oppononents?

Lewis practiced today, so that's a good sign.

As for H2Hs, on DK I just post my games and put the matchup limiter on 1. I'm too lazy to scout my opponents so I just assume that sharks will only get so much from my 1 dollar game they can only scoop one of and it'll even out. On FD I just join H2HMatrix games, which is effectively the same thing.

Lacy and Lewis cost me literal hundreds of dollars......

I'm just doing 50/50's and double ups from now on...I can't stand going from 300th place down to over 2000 each week

Lewis and Peterson, for me.

I've got 8 Line-ups across 21 Entries. Part of that is to reduce exposure if a player flops, but some of it is due to me playing several different slates based on finding some lower win opponents in H2Hs.


How do you guys approach single entry GPPs, since you can't churn out different lineups. Obviously you strive to make the best possible one, but how do you go about it?

I generally have 2 cash lineups if there's too many chalky picks I feel good about to fit them all in one. Last week I only had 1 though.

For single entry GPPs, I just look at the lineups I have entered in multi-entry GPPs and unscientifically pick the one I feel best about.

Yeah I'm pretty much seeing that my experience was the same as everyone elses.


Which begs the question. Who won the money?

I won 50 bucks on FD but lost 50 on DK with almost identical lineups.

Yeah it seems like DKGate gave people a semi-legit reason to hate DFS. Prior to that they just had "I want this to fail so I don't have to see commercials" which is really petty. Now they can just say "see? It's corrupt I told you" and ignore it.

I'm always torn about articles like that. On the one hand, there are definitely issues with DFS, including the shark tank atmosphere where 5 dudes win most of the money on volume, it's easy to get carried away, it's kinda a suckers game, etc.

On the other, it's hard to read about a guy with an admitted gambling problem who is bad at DFS and decide that means it's not fair. Of course a degenerate gambler who loses all the time but can't stop playing is gonna lose money. He'd lose that money playing poker or slot machines or F2P iPhone games too.

Welp, according to CNBC the payment processor for FD and DK just pulled out on both of them. That sounds like game over for DFS. Glad I cashed out a few weeks ago.

Anybody else die in a hole in cash this week? 0-7 3 line-ups (3)(3)(1)

I lost like 40 bucks on FD but made 80 on DK so it wasn't so bad.
