February 11, 20206 yr Author I'm scaling back a lot and not playing nearly as much myself. My cash rate has dropped significantly this year, and when scores that used to win don't even cash, it's time to re-evaluate if I should keep doing this. These scores the last few weeks have been wild. :lol2: :lol2: Wake up in the morning and 347.2 isn’t cashing. :lol2:
February 11, 20206 yr These scores the last few weeks have been wild. :lol2: :lol2: Wake up in the morning and 347.2 isn’t cashing. :lol2: I had a 367 that didn't cash last week. I've won single entry GPP's with lower scores. The winning score that day was 490 something. Over the previous years, a 300 would cash, and if you were 340+ you were making good money, and 360's had you with a chance to win. I've always played by feel, and my gut using a few different sources to make my decisions, and it's just not working anymore. I've cashed maybe 10-12 times this season, and haven't hit anything even close to big.

Now the GPP scores are catching up to how the cash game scores used to be. I haven’t hit anything big but I don’t remember the last time I had to make a deposit to keep playing. I’m just grateful my scores have been cashing when they have these last couple of weeks because these scores lately are insane.

I’m just grateful my scores have been cashing when they have these last couple of weeks because these scores lately are insane. I stopped playing cash games a long time ago. I've been lucky and either won or finished top 5 in a few GPP's over the last 18 months. And I had a few $500 plus cashes in football the first several weeks. I basically paid for a trip for two to Jamaica last November and a trip to Palm Springs in a couple of weeks from my DFS play. Even cashing all that out, I still haven't had to make a deposit in a couple years, even though I haven't had a decent win since September. I'm getting tired though of donating money...I wish we could take advantage of the Sportsbook option they have. Without that, I've pretty much gone from a daily player to only playing a couple of times a week since the beginning of the NBA season.
February 13, 20206 yr Pricing on FanDuel has been so soft all year for NBA, couple that with the research websites and optimizers that are available and it has produced some monster totals this year in NBA.
February 13, 20206 yr Pricing on FanDuel has been so soft all year for NBA, couple that with the research websites and optimizers that are available and it has produced some monster totals this year in NBA. The old 5x rule is no longer in play. You need 6x to insure you cash, and 7x or 7.5x to have a chance at getting a big win.
February 18, 20206 yr Author Pricing on FanDuel has been so soft all year for NBA, couple that with the research websites and optimizers that are available and it has produced some monster totals this year in NBA. It’s gotten to the point to where you get your research from will determine how much profit you can get. It’s less fun that way IMO but essential if you want to make money. You have to have a top notch site for research.
February 21, 20206 yr 350 is the new 300! I have scaled back, but still playing daily. Usually doing one single entry and one GPP entry. Trying to keep my nightly cost below $7. I have not hit anything big, but I have cashed enough to maintain this NBA season.
February 24, 20206 yr 384-pts last night One of my better efforts. Finished 439 out of 18768. Took 429-pts to win it. I got back 3.6X my entry.

I was looking back at my play over the last year, and saw my big NBA win, where I won almost $2k across a few tourney's, winning the $5 single entry, and placing second in a free play, the winning score was 378. I've had a couple scores in the 380's and 390's, but have never been over 400. That would have won almost every big contest that day (I was in a few others with different lineups). I'm probably going to throw a few bucks back in this week as it's been about two weeks since I played.

July 31, 20206 yr Anyone still FanDueling and ready to re-start the informal NBA league we had going?
