Won $55 through several different games

nice, i played two entries for $15 total and won $45

PhillyPhreak54 · September 15, 2015, 10:30:13 AM

About the same for me...I had a $60 profit.

SD · September 15, 2015, 10:36:10 AM

30 pts. from winning $25k

Best lineup:
Tyrod Taylor
Bennie Cunningham
Eddie Lacy
Deandre Hopkins
Julio Jones
Dez
Jimmy Graham
Mcmanus
Jets D

162 pts.

I deposited $25 week 1 last season and have been playing with house money ever since. So fanduel has been free for me for a while now. As long as I keep winning I'm staying with fd. If my account balance reaches $0 I'm heading on over to Draftkings. Might as well take advantage of the $200 match like I did when I first started with fd.

I don't like DKs interface - I tried them last year and was drawn back to FD.

As for the whole gambling thing - oh yeah that is just what we need. Ban it! Gambling is awful!

What a load of shtein. They should make it legal across the board.

Also - the farging incessant commercials are overkill. Everything is either sponsored by DK/FD or they run the same farging commercials time after time. I hope those dudes featured in there that won money go broke and end up living on the street. farg off!

"If you're playing fantasy sports and you're not playing fanduel you are crazy"

What's wrong with dk interface? I checked it out seems like a similar setup

phattymatty · September 15, 2015, 12:49:02 PM

i played in one league over the weekend and the guy that won is named dookieinajar

Munson · September 15, 2015, 03:55:52 PM

I also took a look at DK and liked FD a little better. Didn't actually use DK though.

PhillyPhreak54 · September 15, 2015, 08:10:31 PM

The DK set up is similar but I feel more comfortable with the FD site. I may give DK another shot but for now I'll stick with FD.

SunMo · September 22, 2015, 11:54:28 AM

spent $21 on 3 events this weekend, stacked Bradford, Murray, Matthews. still won $72

SD · September 22, 2015, 01:28:27 PM

I lost $9, still up for the year

FD posted some guys lineup, supposedly it was his first lineup ever and he won the Sunday million. The lineup was ridiculous...who would pick Travis Benjamin, Larry Fitz and Dion Lewis and leave money on the table with other players? A bunch of people in the comments section were bashing FD for putting ringers in. I've noticed before when I was up and winning other people would leap frog me out of nowhere.

Also, not sure how the rules work with DFS but it's not regulated like gambling or the lottery so who says them putting ringers in is even illegal? Shady sure but people with money rarely play by the rules so why should they be any different?

ice grillin you · September 22, 2015, 02:00:08 PM

anything run by a computer like that is shady as hell....they know what they are doing...who knows how many of the contestants are fake accounts used to push people out of or into the money to try and either avopid big payouts or to give people a little taste so they keep coming back...not totally different from slot machines

the only way it could truly be on the up and up is if you got paid by how many pts your team scored...when it goes by what place you come in then its suspect

PhillyPhreak54 · September 22, 2015, 04:01:46 PM

It would not shock me if they used ringers.

However I know that the people winning the baseball contests are legit. The big tourney's I have entered in MLB are won by mainly the same dudes...and they are "pro's". They post, sometimes, on the rotogrinders forums and have twitter with pics of them at the FD events.

I didn't win shtein this week but I didn't do any research either..I was out of town Thursday-Sunday.

SunMo · September 23, 2015, 01:42:04 PM

i think i'm gonna go with a cardinals stack this week. palmer, david johnson, and john brown are my stack. i think johnson will get a bulk of the carries and i think john brown has a good game after fitz's 3 td game last week. good thing about those guys is they are all cheap so if i use woodhead as my other RB i can fill my other two wr spots with antonio brown and julio jones. eifert is my te. i feel pretty good about that lineup.

i tried a seahawks stack since they are playing the bears but after wilson and lynch who do use as the wr... doesn't give me warm and fuzzies.
