Daily Fantasy football

it kills me that I can't play it.

actually probably is a good thing .

I always play the "intermediate" games on fan duel for fantasy football. No now who has won over a certain amount of money can play in these games

Exactly. I generally play $3 or so games with no more that 10k entries. Hit for about $40 on a $2 game this weekend with only 2900+ entries. It's just for fun and I realize that the ones that pay big money are basically like winning the lottery as you need to beat 500k or more people.

U can play if u trust anyone outside La.

I played a few times this year but only had 2 weeks where it was worth it. It's not even legal where I live but it's legal in Mississippi so I just enter lineups at the Mississippi welcome center. I don't live far away from the line so it wasn't a big deal to drive there.

But I wasn't trying to play every week either.

It's best if you don't during football anyway especially if you're participating in season long leagues anyway.

I'd be careful playing baseball or basketball too.

Baseball is pretty fun on there I think but not quite as fun as football. Season long leagues are better in my opinion cause really the only ones who win big dollars in DFS are pros who are playing with a huge bank roll anyway.

You don't need an optimizer to win. I'm successful at PGA because I research heavily. U do need to find sites that makes it easier to break down stats tho. That's the long part. U can create your own lines once you have your own rankings. I use thefantasyfanatics. You input what stats what you want to use for each tourney and it weighs them and gives you an overall ranking. I can use the optimizer but don't like too.

Didn't say you needed one to win. If you have time to research then great. Most people don't. For those people just throwing together a random LU, they might as well buy a lottery ticket when they're competing against people that research, use an optimizer, or both.

But hey, people win the lottery all the time. The odds of any single person doing it are extremely low.

Talking about DK or FD. Daily leagues.

that's the best way to be right there. ^^^^

the shorter slates are also fun to play too, like the last few weeks for example. When the field of teams is shortened I feel like it gives you more of advantage. That's just my opinion anyway.. but I've won $187 the 2 weeks.

$102 on Wildcard round and $85 more last week.

my net winnings weren't all that great though cause I spent $27 per entry in the quarter million tournament on DK. But winning is winning so I can't be disappointed. I have friends who drive over to Mississippi and lose a lot more money at the boats than I do playing daily fantasy. So I don't mind taking a few wise cracks from people about having to drive to the state lines just to enter my lineup.

I have relatives who live in legal states and might help me but I'm not gonna bother them with my crap, you know?

I'm playing 2 more lineups this week in quarter million again and then its a wrap. I'm looking at ATL and NE stacks cause typically that's the way to go in the conference round. I went back and looked at the winners the last few years and noticed they had more exposure to the home teams than they did with the road teams.
