I wouldn't touch anyone on the Bears. They work they work without me.

 

[proshares]

I hate it when my cash game line up significantly outscores my tournament line ups. I could've been sitting in first place in my tournaments

That happened to me once earlier in the season and I was so livid I swore never again so I always toss my cash into my GPP's as well.

Seems like it was a rough night with the rain for a lot of people. One lineup had 117 and still cashed in the $20 special + got a Milly Maker ticket.

I had Kershaw in all cash line ups. Along with Pierzynski, Pujols, Aybar, etc. Lost out on $600 not putting it in touraments. Like P proshares said imma start rolling out my cash line up in tournaments

I don't think Mahtook starts against RHP's.

 

[jrod54life]

true then gose or ethier it is then

 

[steebie j]

All the rangers, Indians and angels?

 

[proshares]

Seems like it. Rangers and Angels both have run totals over 5.

The rain is supposed to be outta control again today again.

What do you guys htink of Jeffrey and Odell this week? Jeffrey might be rusty and Odell is facing against tough Bills defense adn they have really good corners?

Should I add them to lineups (dont worry bout salary cap). Let me know if they getting points or not and why.

Also what are the best sites you use for advise and who gives the most accurate information?

Bills corners are a tad overrated. They've given up big numbers past two weeks. Granted Miami got garbage time points but still. Odell is matchup proof already. He has a high floor and with the pricing this week, it'll be kinda easy to fit him in

 

[proshares]

And their pass rush hasn't been what it was last year. Give Eli the time, he'll find Odell. I really like him in GPP's this week.

 

[do work son]

i've been lurking for the last week or so, can yall explain what are "cash lineups" and "GPPs"?

 

[proshares]

Cash games are the 50/50's (where the top 50% of the field get paid 2x -rake of the entry fee), head to head's and double ups. GPP's are guaranteed prize pools, which are 90% tournaments. Most of the cash games are not guaranteed meaning if they don't fill up, they don't run and you get your entry fee back.

so for a beginner, where would you recommend starting?

do both but focus more on cash games for tourneys is best to enter ppl without overthinking who knows u might get beginners luck on tourneys but focus more on cash games

 

[proshares]

Small, unless you're depositing like two grand. Do the $1 - $5 50/50's (I personally try to avoid the ones where you can enter multiple times) or the $1 - $5 double up. Once you get the hang of it after a week or two, start taking some head to head's. Don't post your own head to head contest though.

 

[stork]

I think luck & Palmer are gonna have highest ownership.

 

[steebie j]

Hopefully that's the case cause I'm eying Carr, Tyrod and Cam.

[do work son]

do yall prefer draftkings or fanduel? why?

sorry for all the questions, and many thanks who go out of their way to help answer.

 

[jrod54life]

depends wat sport they have their differences I prefer DK for NBA and MLB....nba has an extra guard position instead of 2 PG, and 2 SG you aren't restricted to choose for DK..... MLB wise DK u take two pitchers while in FD u can only choose one.... and haven't tried NFL in Fanduel yet but for Draftkings is pretty good

Denver or Cardinals defense?

 

[jrod54life]

Denver has been the best defense this season but they've both allowd the same amt of points this yr.. Peterson might run all over the broncos but rams wont do much agst the cardinals I think

 

[xxpizzo]

Neither go cheap with the Eagles def at 2700 

thats my opinion tho they should cause a few TO
