^ I agree with a good amount of this.

In football I think it is even easier. I have always done well in golf mainly because I'll watch the sport and pick out a few guys who are playing well, but not making putts, pour them into a GPP lineup with some good course history players who have been playing well and sometimes they hit big.

The NFL is not the same way though. I have found in the NFL if I find a player who is contrarian it is better to load a lineup with mainly chalk around him. Trying to avoid the chalk can get me into trouble.

In the NFL there is a ton of information and stats available to the general public. It's amazing how many people don't use them and how many people use them wrong.

Game selection as always is critical. The soft Thurs-Monday slates this year were loaded with some really tough pros. So I stopped playing them and started playing some softer H2Hs. My ROI is better, but it is much more of a grind. There is still plenty of money to be made.

I'm really surprised by the tone of this thread. I'm certainly not a great player: I lost $59.25 last year, but the idea that no one can win is kinda silly.

I'm shocked there is no discussion on game selection here. There is a major difference between Double Ups, Head to Heads, Single entry, limited entry and Mass entry fields. I'm not saying one is better then the other, but for YOUR type of play one probably is. It's important to try and figure out what your best at.

The other issue to think about is that one NFL season does not give you a reasonable sample size. No one would consider 17 poker sessions to be definitive on how good a player you are.

The informational advantage is interesting to me. The NFL doesn't have much of one as long as you have a twitter account.

My most profitable sport last year was golf, I listen to one podcast each week on it. That's it. This makes most of my lineups very contrarian to the field. I think in high variance sports (Baseball, Golf, and a lesser extent NFL) that's the main goal. If your not occasionally coming in at the very bottom of a tournament field your doing it wrong.

Just my 2 cents.

What golf podcast do you listen to?

Did anyone else notice alot of high scores in the cash games they played this week? I had lineups that were scoring between 115-120 and not cashing. I saw a few cash lines that were in the range of 130-145 in 10 man 50/50s. Tough week for me to say the least.

Fantasy Golf Degenerates. They are not high stakes player but are slightly entertaining also.

A little to much stripper talk on occasion, but overall it's fine.

hey guys,

my old traditional fantasy league fizzled out, mostly because having to get everything ready by thursday sucks for casual fan dot jpg, so one of the guys in the league ran a private sunday-only contest each week on DK this year.

The rake seems pretty high but I did pretty good overall, looking for thoughts on what other sites offer this and have lower rake? I know pretty much ****all about DFS in general but it seems like we're getting bent over.

Related: any decent dumbass DFS for dummies strategies for the playoffs? I have no idea what I'm doing.

Play a zero dollar league and make everyone set up a Venmo account.

I thought about that but a lot of these guys are morons who would never figure out venmo

also a lot of them are bigtime welchers,

that reminds me, one of the big problems with DK's private league is that if one guy forgets to enter, the contest just doesn't run (when it obviously should just run with N-1 entries). Is there anyone that has more sane rules?

Legally the contest has to fill or it doesn't run so I don't think you'll find a site that does it any differently.
