    I guess they don't want it to be quite so obvious that the quants/high volume players are the only long-term winners.

    Are they going to take back everyone else's money too?

    Game selection is important. If you are on DK and play your friends or Public Randoms and win over a decent sample size then good for you. But for most of us I suspect DFS is no better than a scratch off ticket.
    this is actually a good thing...what the bachelorette did was against many state gaming laws as it pertains to DFS...you can collaborate but can't knowingly use 2 accounts to circumvent entry limits...

    im cool with this...they would have never gotten caught if them and their friends didn't go blabbing all over social media about it, one of the friends fucked up congratulating the wrong person and now the rest is history...if you are that much of an attention whore that you can't keep your mouth shut then you deserve what's comin to you...

    and yes, huge NFL DFS contests are nothing more than a lotto ticket...the only ones getting rich are DK with the rake and the quants with their optimized lineups...
    As someone who does DK just for shits n giggles at a very small level (usually only 1 or 2 entries in large field $0.25 or $1 entries) I'd agree the NFL ones are straight lotto. I do best at NBA, although with very chalk lineups that frequently min cash. Nonetheless, I'm still "ahead" overall, but not any significant amount.

    I do like when DK changed the rules limiting "high-volume" players to $3 and over entries. Allows us minnows to swim freely.

    That reality show couple were dolts tho. I'm sure there's plenty of colluding going on, but literally the LAST person you want to collude with is someone living in your house. lulz.

    In my mind, I’m supposed to.

    There have been many matchups on the road that didn’t bode well but they hit. This game opened with a 5.5 total overnight. Yeah, it’s 6 now. That’s still not swell if you’re a pessimist.

    Professionally, it’s an autobet but I haven’t pushed the button. That number will be there til puck drop. It’d be great if Simp gave a quick take. Would he take the 1P over just to frame it more easily. (We are talking about 1st 10 scoring, Simp tbc) Simp did point out the Philly goalie is trash. Blues are pretty good on defense, imo.

    In tennis, I still have qualifying matches that were pushed back from yesterday. Not happy. I got a 9 piece parlay with 3 legs to go. I need to focus on a live hedge if things look bad to preserve my equity. So, I got enough to sweat.

    I’m just not filled with warmth about Australia as a venue right now. Tennis players can so easily pack it in. You gotta be careful about how your book regards mid match “injuries” or “no shows”. The woman player who gakked mid match. Some books will push and some will lose. Wagering is tough enough. Some were arguing the whole tourney should be cancelled. Just sayin.

    Shapo just might take the whole tournament. Easy power. He didn’t lose his shit but once cause it’s his pal across the net. Kid is a mental case but so gifted.

    They had a tie break. Lol, what a call. Zero profit cause I’m a nit

    Kyrgios and his back problems coupled with his whole love/hate relationship with Australia. Today he’s the darling with his pledge of $200 per ace.

    People talked about how Shapo and Pospisil both quit social media and their games improved. It’s about distractions and I worry about Kyrgios.

    FYI I'm doubling up on Chicago +155. Crawford is dog shit but his record against Montreal is great...especially in Montreal.

    Also no Price in net for Montreal.

    Wish I saw this in time.

    Totally would've fired on this

    Two under today. Beware as they are under 210, which is a risk these days in this league, and my record on those in 2019-20 is poor.

    Still....

    Charlotte at Denver - Under 209.5
    Orlando at Lakers - Under 210

    shapo seems to have ol' ugo overmatched with his serve...

    but -275 for a guy with a 5 cent head is a little much...

    EDIT: take the nickel guy at -162 to win the first set down 5-4...

    I passed on Shapo.

    I have one more leg on a nine piece chalky parlay with some flips. Tennis, NBA, NCAAB

    Ruusuvuori v Mena

    It’s a qualifying match. Should be a layup. But of course his match was delayed by the fire. Shoulda been yesterday. Then it was supposed to be 8:30p and it’s been delayed and delayed and delayed. Still waiting.

    I got the Vaseline ready

    Thank you Simp. I didn’t have to make any decisions today

    you were right san...

    leave it to the guy with the 5 cent head to double fault at set point...

    don't have the stomach for betting on guys like this...

    I think he’s already mentally on the plane to his next tourney


    I’m kinda burned out. Sorry I haven’t spoken up.

    Hope it works. Kid is only 20, $2.5m and hot girlfriend and hasn’t finished puberty.

    Only 2-1 +1.55 units tonight. Or +3.1 If you doubled Hawks like I did.

    Debated Blues moneyline would have been a nice sweep. But we will take a positive night and move on


    Sorry for interrupting the tennis talk
