    This is my 2nd week doing fanduel and Im hooked on it. Personally I find it more entertaning than regualr fantasy football but also a lot more stressful

    This week I entered 5 leagues for a total of $12 in entry fees. I only have a shot to make money in one league, a $5 entry with 10 people. Im in first place right now which pays $22.50(not a lot of money but id end up actually winning at least something) and im up 17. The 2nd place guy and 3rd place guy are about tied right now, one has dez the other has dallas d. have a bad feeling that colt mccoy could throw a pick 6 or two and dez could go off lol

    Any reason you guys with Fanduel over Draftkings? I like Draftkings because I don't have to draft a kicker, but I haven't tried fanduel yet.

    Just the first one I tried really. I enjoy the whole concept I might try draftkings though to see if I get better success

    Does anyone mess with basketball on these sites? I'm recently trying it but it seems a lot more manageable to hit big than football. I'm really just lost with football.

    Can't stand baseball.. way too many players and random guys who can go off. FanDuel/DraftKings football can't back soon enough.

    Antonio Brown is an absolute MUST play week 1 and 2 with LeVeon out. I can see 10+ / 150 / 1 or 2 scores -- Who is going to cover him on New England? Malcolm Butler? Please...

    I just threw in a couple hundred. I've won my very competitive 12 team league 3 of the last 5 years so I am hoping it translates to fanduel

    It's my number 2 favorite movie of all time.

    Rollo Tomasi is the fake character Kevin Spacey made up to put a face to the unidentified man that killed his father.

    He whispered it to the police chief after getting shot and Guy Pearce figured it out.

    Daily Fantasy is awesome, I won a decent amount on both Fan Duel and Draft Kings last year and am going to play a few other sites this year. Fantasy Aces uses 2 QBs and Yahoo is new into the game this year, could be a lot of beginners there, hope to take some of their $$!

    I just came across a cool site that I am sure will help, Daily Fantasy Power. There are tons of places that tell you who to play, but this looks like a place to tell you where to play them, perfect for me. They even show another site that I had never heard of. I love their mathematical approach.

    I am so excited for this new season for so many reasons!

    I feel like the chances are winning are so slim. Daily leagues suck because they're so much harder to predict as opposed to a more stable season long thing.

    Is it really that easy to win if you're actually good at fantasy?

    ^ based on my experience, yes.

    Join smaller 50/50 groups or head to head.

    Entering larger tourneys is like buying a lotto ticket. Pretty much have to have all highest players correctly selected and even then you will be splitting the pot with other ppl.

    50/50 is where the $ is at. I also like doing one tournament a week. For the first week I did a 20$ entry in draft kings the 10$ million one. But after this week I'll be back to small 25$ a week or 50/50s.

    Week 1: ivory and John brown and Carson Palmer are all on my list. Week 1 ivory vs that weak ass Cleveland D. And Palmer will destroy that shitty New Orleans defense. Especially with their top corner just getting hurt

    I finally succumbed to the overwhelming advertising machine and tried out draft kings. Threw 25 on and played 3 one dollar games just to get a feel for how it works. Hit 2nd place out of 40 in one of them and broke even for the week.

    Seems pretty fun - I'm going to try the tournament style this week where it pays bigger amounts to the top 5 or whatever this week. That's more up my alley.

    I don't get how this is legal and online poker isn't.

    It's awesome. I do about 50$ a week. one 20$ tournament and a bunch of 50/50s where the top half doubles their money.

    Tournaments are difficult because you need that one guy who no one has.

    I just heard an add on the FAN yesterday for MyBookie.com.

    Literally said almost nothing about the site other than MyBookie.com and at the end it said "play just for fun".

    True story.

    LOL.
