spreadsheet i have for accounting purposes. the number of leagues aren't updated as of this moment and i'll update it at some point tomorrow. will update with rosters before opening day and will update standings and ranks idk, every couple weeks or so maybe?
as of this post i have drafted 202 YPL teams across various buyins. i may do a few more to account for a handful of leagues that were autodrafted or the first 3 i drafted that didn't follow the strategy of the subsequent 199. i didn't want to do DFS and figured that most people worth their salt in baseball strategy wouldn't be wasting their time on this when there's DFS to be played so the fields would be fairly soft. however playing a few YPLs hardly is worth it if the goal is to make money so i figured i'd do 50. then i figured i'd do 100. then i made bets that i could be profitable over 200 so 200 i did. (still taking wagers on this if people wanted to propose anything)
1. i didn't join any roto league. would be too time consuming to be possible
2. no $250 buyins. for one thing they fill fairly infrequently, for another they usually have the same people in it, for another still they're not terrible players. beatable to be sure, but not worth it for purposes of this seeing as how i'd need to win 2 $20 leagues outright + cash a 3rd just to cover the cost of a single $250 league. it's like 10 tabling 25 tabling 10NL with a 26th table of 2000NL when you're going to have the same amount of focus for each individual table.
3. why do this? 3 reasons: 1. i believe sincerely the strategy i'm employing has a decent chance of profitability while requiring (relatively speaking) a minimal amount of maintenance time (which is definitely required if my plan is to do 200 leagues without punting any). and fortunately for me i own my own business and as such time spent at work and time spent setting up my teams aren't mutually exclusive, so even if i spend a lot of hours per week doing this, whatever, i'm at work while i am. 2. wagers. 3. honestly, a little bit of ego. i'm in so many leagues that yahoo's fantasy app doesn't work for me anymore, and as far as i understand not only is this the most leagues anyone has tried to do in a single season, it's the most by a huge amount. would be pretty awesome to do this and succeed. very likely i'll never try this again, but still, why not give it a shot this time and see what comes of it
so we'll see how this goes
