DraftKings is way more of a sweat than sports gambling...

Entered the Millionarie maker this week...

I was in 260th place before the start of the Sunday night game, All I had was Demaryius Thomas left... every play was so critical. It was tough to take. He had 4 balls hit him in his hands, including an easy one on the last one that would have picked up a first down and the drive going. Obviously I was thrilled at the last second 1st half TD. That's when i really Believed I could finish top 10 (10th paying $40,000, 4th paying 150,000 and 1st 1.2 million)

I still have to dodge the Monday Night game, but the difference between his catching that one last ball for 2 points and not was a $5000 difference in payout. I currently sit at 7500 but I'm sure to fall, I imagine I could fall as much as $2500.. but I'm hoping not..

If this isn't gambling, I have no idea what is. It's was the biggest sweat of my life.

So you need Rogers to have shitty night and keep others from climbing over you? That's some good picking to be where you are!

I just can't get that into it. I think I have good lineups and get whacked by some asswipe who picked every freaking nobody that stepped up and kicked ass that week/day. Much easier for me to pick ATS.

Good luck to you man. Hope things go south for your competitors!

Same way for me. Thought I had a great lineup yesterday and when I checked last night....I'm in line to cash anywhere from 7-11 dollars. Lol

In all honesty if tonight is a high scoring affair with the normal guys scoring you'll end up only winning maybe 50$. Hope I'm wrong but that's how it usually goes.

It was a a crazy week.

You had the so many guys scoring 35-45pts. The tourney lineup scores are abnormally high this week.

It will actually be pretty tough for tonights game to make too big of a dent in tournaments.

In my Season league I broke our 5 Year ALL TIME High Score by 20 points..
232 points, traditional PPR league, 2 WR 2 RB 1 Flex, no bonuses...

So yeah, this week was abnormally high

Imagine being the guy in 1st place right now. No way he ends up in 1st between Rogers, Lacey, Cobb, Croscy, Jamaal Charles and Alex Smith.

I think 1st will stay. he's up there, Lacey probably wasn't bought much, he was questionable. my guess is almost no one has him.. rodgers against KC, probably not taken as much as normal, Charles always taken often

Defy

If you had Mathews/Freeman/Julio over Sproles/Randle/DT I think you would've won. Easy pivot too.

Granted everyone in the top 200 or so can say that, but still an interesting tidbit.

Kelce/Cobb will be in the 10-15% range probably.

You know who will have some ownership is James Starks. A lot of people will just go him at 3k and hope for a Lynch/Rawls situation like yesterday, where the starter plays but just not very much and Starks is min price.

Nah it is locked.

You can usually figure it out by looking at the roster though. Unless it is a situation that has two guys at the same position and price point that are viable.
