To clarify I didn't try to withdraw via skrill, just the normal way (I don't even get a choice). My understanding from support answer is that no withdrawal method is currently working at mondogoal. If anybody managed to withdraw over the past two weeks, please let me know!

Seems like everyone having MG withdrawal issues. This is a pretty big red flag. IMO don't put any money on the site and keep trying to get yours off. GL

They have great potential though and I'll be sticking with them for the foreseeable. Hopefully they will listen to players requests as I have mentioned most of this stuff to them already and I'm sure I'm not the only one
I don't dislike the weekend slates but I dont think its the way to go to get new players into the game.

I saw they started one a few weeks back on a Friday night. You have then got to go back to your team and edit before the Sat 3pms, late KO, Sunday early KO, late KO, Monday night and I can just see new players thinking that's a lot of effort. If they leave a non-starter in then they are drawing almost dead too.

UEFA site also does a predicted line up but along with whoscored they have to be taken with a pinch of salt. The UEFA site, twitter and this http://confirmedlineups.com/today is what I use for actual line ups when they come out.

Nice.

Thought that website might have been some trolling just by the obviousness of the domain name and it seemed too good to be true. But it checks out. I've got a multitude of apps and sites to check, all of which none are reliable so ill add this.

Back to good old EPL slates 2moro. It will feel like Xmas getting the lineups in an hour before kickoff instead of searching Twitter for the South American lineups 10 mins before kickoff.

Any news from mondo regarding withdrawals people? They never answer my emails. Are we actually doing play money?

I didn't realise things were that bad, haven't played for a while. You should get onto twitter and talk to them there so that it is public, I always find people get things fixed a lot quicker when it is all out in the open

Got an answer from them today, they told me they have an issue with their cards processor. No answer re timing to resolve the issue.
I have personally been a big Mondo fan since day 1 as they really tried to promote DFS here in the UK. I know they lost a good amount of money doing so. But I am now officially worried about them.

FD (US) to roll out soccer: http://www.legalsportsreport.com/118...rts-offerings/

Same scoring as FD UK it seems, just 8 players instead of 11.

Why launch DFS Soccer in the UK and then the USA and segregate the player pools? I wouldnt be surprised if they change the UK game to an 8 man roster in future and make it a global player pool.

I am losing motivation to play on Fan Duel UK right now cos it seems like a lot of work to put in for not many contests running and the prize pools arent very big for the GPPs.

Haven't played FD (UK) because you can't download salaries which makes no sense at all. Hope they migrate to US pool and rosters and allow csv download then I'm fully on board

You would at least thought they'd just have them at the same line up size so it wouldn't be too difficult to then put them together in the future

Also a big fan but have been worried for a while now. Lots of red flags about imo.

I've been trying a Skrill withdrawal. At first, the withdrawal was getting rejected and the funds returned to my playing account. They responded to my email and said that they had a problem with Skrill that was now sorted. I've withdrawn again but it is now in the 'processing' stage and has been that way for over a week which doesn't look good

I've tried tweeting them as well to get some public exposure but my tweets seem to mysteriously disappear!

Can't see them being around much longer tbh. There doesn't seem to even be a main GPP this week

Always been a fan of Mondo's gameplay and scoring. They have a good product overall but how can they be profitable with just hundred or so players ? The free roll 'perfect line up' million just has around 74 players today and doubt it will reach a 100 players.

But I can not see them being around for long the way it is going unless they tie-up with a bookmaker to offer DFS contests in one platform for better liquidity. For now it makes sense to have lower guaranteed prize pools till they steady the ship.

Interested to see what comes out of this and looks like a DFS games will be offered with global pools in the UK through sports betting platforms.

I hadn't even realized that real-money fantasy was legal in France. Being french and a fantasy player, I feel kind of silly.

Yes, it happens and there is way too much information to sift through. So easy to overlook new information. For me this approach seem the way forward, offering DFS contests for all the major leagues with global pools as well.

Mondo for example have an Italian platform but that is segregated to Italian players only and I am sure they will have preferred joint pools. Mondo was available in the US and due to the legal issues they had to withdraw from a lot of states. So the UK platform is just left with few hundred UK DFS players, no way that can be sustainable.

Fan Duel have already trimmed next week's GPP by 1k and there is hardly any free-roll's there. Odd way to attract new players and retain them. Again they face the same issue, if you take out multi-entries the unique UK DFS players is less than 500 if that. So how do you convert all those seasonal players to DFS and also retain them ? Most will deposit and if they lose a few they will quit playing. Let alone taking the time to make line-up's across sites.

Would love some thoughts on this. I always hear that the sharks have an advantage due to their ability to multi enter. If you have the bankroll is it always optimum to enter the maximum number of entries in any given GPP?

For example the Fanduel comp this weekend with £5k pool and £750 to first with £5 entry with 50 being the maximum number of entries, is better to put in all 50?
Soccer (EPL/CL/MLS etc) DFS Thread Quote

Of course not. If you are above average, then every extra entry from you makes the player pool more competent, deacreasing the ROI of your previous entries. Better have fishes enter instead. Also your other entries have to be different lineups (thus presumably slightly less good than your top lineup). So putting in more entries decreases your ROI, but can increase your total profit if the ROI decrease is not too bad.

10-23-2016 , 05:47 PM
Most of that makes sense but how do you then work out the optimum number to enter?
Soccer (EPL/CL/MLS etc) DFS Thread Quote
10-23-2016 , 08:07 PM
I can never fathom why people believe that multi-entering gives you an advantage. Your ROI should only go down with each entry if you have them accurately projected. They'll win contests more frequently, but spend a ton to do it. It sacrifices a small amount of ROI to increase net winnings and effectively increase the sample size so that swings of variance play out over a shorter amount of time.

I guess it is a skill in a way. I tend to look at how many entries other Pros are putting into the GPP for a guideline. Then other factors are gonna come into play like the total number of possible entrants, the payout structure, the amount of recreationals entered. Then every slate can be different to play as well. If it is a 2 game slate there arent gonna be many value plays so making multiple lineups isnt gonna be much fun. However, on an 8 game Champions League slate there will be a lot more studs and value plays to mix and match.

Well downswings can be hard to deal with so anything that lessens variance is an advantage if you ask me. I tend to feel as if I do better when I am only managing 1 lineup. Doing multiple lineups is more time consuming and when I have tried this I think I get less passionate about the quality of each lineup and I perhaps end up taking more gambles than I need to which leads to entering lineups which are just -EV.

Can UK players play on FD US? Or are we restricted to the UK version
