I like the pitching difference. FD doesn't penalize for baserunners, which seems really stupid imo.

Tempting to switch over to DK... if more people are playing it, perhaps that means a lower % are skilled. Can someone post the rake of DK contests (can't find it)?

I would say play both. Rake is the same. But sometimes DK/FD has better values for certian players.

The daily fantasy sports business model is amazing.

 

The rake is pretty nuts. They are just printing $.

[LTR]

Just found this on Rakes (from 1yr ago)... mostly the same between FD/DK, but lower on DS/DD

If you ever use any of my lineups, I would greatly appreciate if you fill out this form: http://goo.gl/forms/Vh2FupSqU1

 

Helps me keep track of the progress of my model and the more data the better!

 

Wouldn't it be more helpful to fill in the money point range of any contest we are in, regardless of the lineup used? You already know the point total of your lineups.

If anyone wants to go H2H, I set up two $5 games:

nickytopbutts is going to pwn u

I ask for the 50/50 cash point.

 

I meant that it would give you data for all contests people were in, regardless of whether they use your lineups or not. That would give you more data, because you already know your point totals.

I have class until 6:50ish, so it won't update. Might be out early enough just in time. Otherwise here are the updated as of now: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0ByKIdMktKhYNb09tWGtDOFNyb28&usp=sharing#grid

 

Just missing 2 games. I wasn't accounting for the max 4 players/team on FD before, and I have now fixed that for the Steamer lineups. The other two are invalid still. Will fix later.

 

 

Thanks! Is it updated now? or?

[jays4life19]

Also i got home from work early if anyone wants to play H2H

[jays4life19]

FD or DK? And amount?

Cody Ross weirdly doesn't seem to exist on DK.

What do you use in the case where you don't have a lineup for a given game?

 

Do you take a best guess at lineup using historical lineups vs. pitcher handedness?

[GD]

Carrasco/Gomes/Santana/Kipnis/Lawrie/Asdrubal/Stanton/Gentry/Davis

 

Should I replace any of my OF or Lawrie? Or go with Walker rather than Kipnis?

 

e: replaced Lawrie with Pablo and now have $300 left

Lawrie kind of scares me right now, especially after last night.

David Peralta is hot hot hot this evening

I already replaced him with Pablo but would I be better served with Machado do you think?

 

David Peralta is hot hot hot this evening

 

Better bet than Khris Davis?

[Laika]

Was thinking more Gentry.

 

It's also fun to ignore optimals. I've got Mark Canha in one lineup.

 

Also, Kazmir should mess up Texas.

[jays4life19]

fd. $5?

 

Sent you the link. No time to do research so i'm using the same lineup i posted this morning with no research. I like your chances even though my lineup passes the eye test ( No time to check lineups so hopefully everyone is playing) lol.

[BrianV]

Jhonny Peralta isn't in Fanduel's system or something

[NorthOf49]

Optimals up: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0ByKIdMktKhYNb09tWGtDOFNyb28&usp=sharing#grid

I knew McCarthy would sneak in there lol. I'm going with McCarthy and/or Carrasco in my lineups.

 

It seems like Stanton, Gomes and Lind make it into a lot of lineups.

[LTR]

P Brandon McCarthy

C Jonathan Lucroy

1B Paul Goldschmidt

2B Jason Kipnis

Interesting to see Pablo over Lamb.

 

Lamb has a better pts/$ but Pablo came up every time in my top 25 optimals

[jays4life19]

Ball time fellas! Enjoy!
