Ive been perusing around the site for a bit and decided to join up not too long ago. I really enjoy the podcasts and forum posts. This is my second week in DFS and I hope to see a significant amount on progress compared to my first week, where I mainly went off my gut and won $ in 1 of 7 contests :/
Appreciate the site and work you guys put in and look forward to some more successful weeks ahead.
We are happy to help. What kind of contests do you enter in? Looking over your first week what do you think your biggest mistake was? Wanted to make sure we know how to direct you better so you can turn that into 7 for 7 this week.
I joined 6 GPP leagues and looked over the 50/50 leagues. Ill list what I joined below last week.
Flacco, J. Hill, M. Ingram, B. Cooks, P. Garcon, J. Kearse, Gronk, Abdullah, Lions Def.
Looking back on it there really wasn't a rhyme or reason to my selections here. Needless to say I placed 372,647
Bradford, Forte, Ingram, Garcon, Landry, Moncrief, Eifert, Edelman, Rams
This I placed 35061 in and won $6. Once again, no real rhyme or reason to what I selected.
Palmer, Ivory, Jennings, Cooks, Edelman, Matthews, J. Cameron, Ingram, Ravens
Places 214980
No need to continue listing the rest of my contests. This week I entered more 50/50 contests and a couple GPP. I used Colossus to figure out some lineups.
Here is one of this weeks double up lineups:
NFL MASSIVE $5 DOUBLE UP [$75,000 GUARANTEED] (THU)Brady, D. Freeman, Woodhead, Antonio Brown, Edleman, A. Robinson, C. Gillmore, Fitzgerald, Broncos.
Learned about stacking hence Brady and Edelman. Freeman was a value pick and I am hoping has 15+ carries (watched podcast you posted).
Ill post 1 of my GPP lineups for this week also:
NFL $1M KICKOFF MILLION [$1 MILLION GUARANTEED] (THU)R. Wilson, L. Bell, I. Crowell, D. Baldwin, L. Fitzgerald, A. Robinson, Gronk, Woodhead, Seahawks.
I went through all the 101 courses on the site and watched about 5 podcasts also. Looked through your cheat-sheets and Colossus. Starting to integrate Vegas odds into my decisions along with being more analytical in my approach. Its a work in progress...
Of course, any suggestions are welcome.
Smart move switching to more cash games. I like the looks of your lineups they are very solid. Can not find fault with any of those choices.
Glad to have you here! Also thrilled to have a fellow Bengals fan here: WHO DEY! I'm with Zach here, adding in a majority of your action into cash games is a +EV move which will help you raise your floor and sustain your bankroll for much longer. FWIW, Lynch/Seattle defense will be a very popular duo in cash games this week. They will be in all of my cash lineups as well. Not saying it is a 100% must play, but very close for me. Good luck this week and feel free to ask if you have any questions!
Thanks Italy. Love the podcasts.
I am nervous about our Bengals this week. The Ravens wont go 0-3 easily.
