You are NOT that good at fantasy football

  • like_that
    Pretty interesting article. Really just took all the fun out of draft kings for me. I think after this week I am going to stick to the contests created by users and the 50/50 contests. Fuck these needledicks who figured out an algorithm. I am willing to bet their NFL knowledge isn't superior to most average fantasy players.

    Pretty much the main reason I'm not a big into sports betting, stock market investing, etc. The reality is, as smart as I think I am, there is always someone who can beat me.

    I beat Sud (maxdalury) in a $50 head to head. That will probably be my crowning moment of DFS lol.

    If is head to head you have a much better chance. I'm not really impressed with his football knowledge. To me he just figured out he can put x amount of entries in and win x amount of dollars every day.

    Somewhat agree. But, I've run into him in multiple 6 person/H2H/step/whatever tourneys. I've only seen him not advance/place/etc 2 times (3 if you count my H2H). I get that he does a ton of entries, but most if not all go to the main tournaments. The single entry stuff is impressive to me, cause he is always winning them when I am in the same
    pool.

    whatever algorithm he has come up with to beat the system is amazing. Yes, it doesn't make him smart about sports or betting, but it makes him fucking brilliant as a human lol.

    Oh yeah, I am not hating on that brilliance. I am so I could have came up with they and earn 2m a year off fantasy football.

    Yeah I wish I could do what some of these guys do. I'd like to think if I had the starting capital I could do it but probably not. I very rarely ever play in the big tournaments. I mostly only play in 50/50's and double ups. This week is the first week I've ever done the millionaire maker and probably will be my last lol.

    Like.that just going on as if I'm not just completely keeping his tiny little nuts in a glass box and poking him in the eye anytime I feels. How shitty must Clowns Nation as a whole feels today? Pretty fkg crappy iId imagine. But how good does Ol' Tiernan feel today? C'mon losers don't let me just continue to piss all over you without even a squeak.

    If you look at the top of the millionaire maker standings...all of those guys put in multiple entries (most 100+). If you are only doing 1 or 2 (like I do), it is hard to put some of the lineup combinations necessary to hit the jackpot.

    One of the guys in the top 10 has Chris Ivory, Austin Seferian-Jenkins at TE and Eifert in the flex. If you only have 1 or 2 entries to put in, are you going to be willing to risk it on a lineup with those 3 in it? Probably not but this dude put in at least 364 lineups so you can throw in a bunch of these types and hope to hit one big.

    Yeah I was looking at one dude and he has from what I can at least tell 362 entries (I'm sure he probably has the max of 500). Hes got 1 entry that is in 18th and still has his flex spot to go. Then he has 6 other entries in big money (currently placed 15, 64, 89, 167, 289, 364).

    Exactly why I say you have a better chance when it's heads up. Putting in near 8k for one contest isn't that impressive. It's like buying multiple lottery tickets on a smaller scale.

    Cmon Like_that (from now on you're LT because I get tired of typing your ridiculous dumb name) so come on LT you've never really won any money becuz you don't know shit about sports and you know it.

    the old LT was my arch nemesis too but at least he was an intelligent competitive foe, you on the other hand are just my personal punching bag.
