I created an account last year and never played. I am entered into a $5 50/50 game week 1. For those who have not been on FanDuel, you buy a team (in this case) with $60K). Star players cost a lot and don't leave you as much to spend on other positions. Here is what I came up with:
Colin Kaepernick (against Dallas. He is healthy and has Crabtree back) Frank Gore C.J. Spiller (health against a weak run D) Brandon Marshall Marques Colston T.Y. Hilton Greg Olson Robbie Gould St. Louis
I have to be in the top 50% to win $4. There are 50 teams. Some of the players are rookies like me or mainly baseball guys. One of the players has over 50,000 FanDuel wins. I am cheap and cautious, but if I do OK I will play more than one game a week.
I like the idea of being able to pick players against weaker teams.
Do you guys like my team or think I am on the way to repeating my loosing fantasy ways ala last year?
If anybody has FanDuel experience and wants to offer any tips, that would be great. x-]

Six entries cost $1,200.00! :shock: (I know that is not news to you, ed. I am sure you gots the mad math skillz). I wonder how many of these guys try to pile up a bunch of money and not tell the Mrs. The tax issue at a certain point could be a problem. Maybe they have multiple accounts. Who knows. I wish it was my problem. I am far more likely to turn my $50 into $0 rather quickly.

I wish it was my problem. I am far more likely to turn my $50 into $0 rather quickly. Exactly. I deposited $200 onto fanduel early this year. my very 1st tourney, I did $11 to win a $109 entry into the Masters $100,000 tourney. 100 people top 20 get an entry. I came in 19th, thought, hmm this is easy. By the time the Masters rolled around I had nothing but my $109 entry, 3 of my 6 guys missed the cut. Infuriating.

I have tried draftkings and fan duel. better chance at winning the lottery. FUcking impossible to do well I am up over $7,000 I have learned a very simply trick. ONLY, ONLY, ONLY, ONLY play 50/50's. You are right, the other games are like playing the lotto. Especially the real large number of player games. I mostly play $109, $50 and $25 fifty-fifties or "double ups" and ALWAYS use the same line-up for all the contests that day. To nights Fanduel games -

Wow, that's great jtb! I figured the 50/50 were a good place to be. I can't wait to see how I do.

As much as I enjoy playing, I am waiting a few weeks before I jump into the NFL. It's luck until there are stats to work with.

That makes sense. I am betting a whopping five bucks as a learning experience. I am also counting on the Dallas defense to be even worst than last year. Which ever 11 players they put on the field, they will never have taken a snap together as a unit in an NFL game, even in the preseason.

Frank Gore may not be a great RB choice a lot of weeks, but if he can walk, he should be money week 1.
