Hopefully this should be clearer... in every sport a 5% edge at +100 is the same, a 5% edge at -500 is the same but they are different.
I agree and know this from the start. My point was more to the effect that hockey has a tendency to do this.

I don't think I'm better at projecting hockey, in fact, I'm markedly worse. But my edge is larger because it's that other people are much worse than I because the top talent like Sigs get too frustrated and quit it.
I was just telling him to stick with it and embrace the pain.

This was meant as tongue and cheek because of the one word responses of "wrong" and stuff like that didn't even care to elaborate what they thought I was wrong about.
I think the issue here is I wasn't good at communicating my thoughts correctly and I'm pretty sure we've been talking about different things as I'm talking about this from a DFS perspective.
This right here sums up perfectly how incorrect people can be in hockey.
https://sports.yahoo.com/dailyfantas...6746/104252184 look at all the single digit scores (cash line in 50/50 usually between 100-60) and remember that the "Mike" account is the best in the world.
I also felt very strongly that there were only two options to go with at center in either McDavid/Toews or McDavid/Stastny and while everyone got on McDavid, Mike and I were the only ones who went Toews or Stastny despite that with the matchup and their absurdly cheap pricing they were extremely obvious plays you didn't even need to do projections to discover.
It's impossible to fail to this level at other sports if you have tomg, sigs or Mike talent but this happens regularly in DFS nhl. You gotta just say F it and roll with it. I personally had a horrendous showing but it was often the least horrendous of the bunch today.
Meanwhile, I had a just slightly below expected output today in NFL and yet took a bath because there are no nights there where less than optimal is forgiven.
