    Draftkings versus Fanduel...

    Let's talk a little daily fantasy.

    Which site do you guys like better for NBA?

    Also, and more importantly, who can I follow either here or somewhere on twitter to turn a profit? I like the action, but not a fan of all the work.

    I've always liked draftkings better for everything

    There was a daily article on rotogrinders last year called nba grind down that was really good. Didnt see it today so not sure if it'll be back this year

    I also used an article on fantasywired called the five and dime

    In all seriousness though, what is the point of doing it if you don't want to do all the work? Isn't that the whole point of fantasy games?

    IMO... how in the hell can you tell what player will score and pump the stats?

    I think NBA would be the hardest sport to figure out fantasy wise... especially using a cap.

    I've played daily fantasy before, and the only thing I didn't like about it was the work.

    I've played MLB, NFL, and NBA.

    Basketball is definitely the hardest, at least for me.

    As I have said before, if you play FanDuel, you are just a fan dueling. If you play at DraftKings, you are a King drafting, much better.

    This really seems to be a hot button topic.

    A lot of passion coming from both sides.

    Guys, I'm just trying to better myself. When I grow up I just want to be like Deemer. The man wins at everything.

    I don't have the time that many other fantasy players have, so I would prefer playing on fanduel so that if there's a late scratch that I was unaware of, I won't be the only one with a disadvantage. Draftkings late changes could be made, and that makes a big difference when not able to stay on top of your daily lineups.

    They don't allow editing changes at Fanduel?

    What happens if your guy is a late scratch, you're screwed?

    Yes, once there's a tipoff, your lineup is locked on fanduel. Draftkings allows you to stay on top of your lineup and make last minute changes even though the tournament has started.

    Yeah, I've played at Draftkings for a couple of years, but have never tried Fanduel. So, if I fill out a lineup at Fanduel in the morning for baseball, and there is a rainout, all the players I chose gets flushed away? That's interesting. You would almost have to set your lineups in all sports minutes prior to the first game.

    I've messed around on both sites for small amounts of money, mostly the 2 and 5 dollar lottery type tourneys. It has helped give me action while taking it easy betting on games. My money seems to last longer on fanduel.

    You can make your lineups as soon as the tournaments are available, and you can make necessary changes up until first pitch, or tipoff.

    If the tournament starts at 7 PM, but I don't have any players going until the 8 PM games, can I still change at 7:55? Or does it have to be before 7 PM?

    People saying you're a loser for playing, aren't good at it.

    FanDuel is better for NBA in my opinion. DK tends to have a shitty pricing system.

    I prefer DK for NHL and MLB, but FanDuel for everything else.
    I mostly play CFB, NFL, and NBA.

    Stick to cash games. 50/50s, double ups, trip ups. I like to play 90% cash game/ 10% gpp tourneys.

    Single entry tourneys are nice because then multi line up "lottery" players arent in there with 100 line ups.

    Before 7. As soon as there's action it's locked.

    I agree with your last sentence and wish all tournaments were structured this way.

    Thanks for the feedback.

    I've always been more of a cash game player. I'm probably like you, 90%/10%.

    Do both sites offer single entry tourneys?

    I believe both sites do. I know FD does.

    Cash game... I make 2 teams usually for a slate. One that I like more than the other I go 60%/40%

    That's an interesting twist. I think I kind of like that, because like you, I hate having to stay on top of things nonstop. This was honestly one of my least favorite things.

    Thanks pal.

    No problem, that's the main reason most of my NBA play, if not all will be on fanduel.

    For all of the alleged sharps that hate DF because it isn't big enough for them, they offer $10,600 buy-ins right now for Sunday, 3 spots only. Now let's see how sharp you are.
