One Man's journey with Colossus

I am new to the DFS arena and find that I am really starting to get hooked. I started looking into it last season and finally took the plunge with a meager 25 bucks this year. That curiosity led me to fantasy cafe months ago and also led me to register here just in the last week. Now I am more than intrigued by the lingo, the people, and the analytics that come along with it. In my short time here I have felt welcome from both the site owners and the members of the site at large which I thank you all for. Now having said all the prerequisite mushy shit as well as kissing everyone's ass on the site I now would like to get back to regularly scheduled programming. I love money, I like the way it feels, I like the way it looks and if you so happen to touch mine I might gnaw off whatever limb you have that came in contact with it. I don't gamble and I don't like friendly wagers. I have been a beast in my season long fantasy leagues because quite frankly I research better than most of my asshole friends do. You drafting that 30 year old running back coming back from knee surgery because you like his twitter comments just doesn't appeal to me. You reach for a QB because there is a run on them right now and you don't want to feel left out I am going to draft the player you should have taken and trade his ass back to you at a premium that makes you feel like a restaurant owner in a Sopranos episode. I play to win damn it and have been damn good at it. I consistently end up in my league championship and I have the reputation in my leagues of a jewelry dealer in the New York diamond district. So it was only natural that I would eventually want to test my mettle at DFF. Shit i'm better than then these highly educated, highly motivated and pissed off friends of mine. I am going to dominate these dumbass people on Draftkings is what I told myself. Low and behold in less than a week I found out I am the dumbass. Now don't get me wrong I posted a respectable 29% ROI on my money this 1st week but the way I was feeling when I started this I thought I was going to double my money, at least that is what the commercial made me believe. Now before all the heavies start hitting me over the head let me state that I am a numbers guy by trade.I understand regression to the mean, I know what standard deviations mean, and I know some of what happened can be attributed to luck. Yes you are a better DFS player than me. No I don't have a 300 page spreadsheet charting out weather patterns, players nutrition schedules, whether or not they just broke up with their girlfriends, or how Rex Ryan teams perform on weeks when he has sucked his wife's toes 3 times(Yet!!!). I plan to be great at this damn it and I know I will be because guess what I will work everyday to eliminate every ounce of systematic risk from my picks that I can. I will scour the internet for whatever information I can find and use that info to kick the living crap out of everyone in my way this is a fact, but this post is not about that. This post is about a journey, a journey I want all you guys to take with me, one that will put Colossus to the test. I am ready to embark on a season long journey using my real money on pure Colossus NFL DFS lineups on Draftkings. There will be no tweaking of lineups for this challenge and I am committing to a meager 25 bucks a week for this(I'm married and Mrs. tlp407 likes nice things). So are you in? If so I would love feedback on how to structure the challenge in regards to bankroll management. I will post my results weekly and we will see how Colossus stacks up in live money games. Who knows if I win enough we may be able to throw a crazy daily fantasy cafe pool party!!!

Yeah I joined the $2.00 Massive and Giant double ups lol again we only working with 25 bucks here had to get maximum value for them dollars lol. I am interested in what mix you guys want I am not married to the tournaments I picked if you guys have a $25.00 breakdown suggestion I am eager to here it. I am smart enough to know what I don't know and I want this to have some value for the more experienced guys too

How did you do in your tournaments?

I played in 10 tournaments for $15 dollars and I ended up winning $21.50. So I won $6.50. Which to me is fine especially in GPP fields give me still a shot to make a big payday one day.

In 9 tournaments I used the top 9 lineups from Colossus and in the one league I stacked Ben Roth with Antonio Brown and that was my highest paid league at $10 took top 250.

I placed in 5 leagues out of 10.

Overall great first week using Colossus and trying to think of different ways to approach week 3.

I was looking at $1 Million Guaranteed GPP for Draft Kings and one player mdigiaco took 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. With 3 different lineups I was thinking he may use something like Colossus.

I am thinking instead of doing the top 9 Colossus this week do the top 1 and then make sure I really change the players up because this past week I had Raven D for all of them and I had their RB Justin, but it wasn't the best result :).

Any suggestions is greatly appreciated.
