New to draftkings question

[ballahollic2]

I was wondering if you can search your opponents before entering the contest. I am completely new to this so I don't want to go broke the first week playing against nothing but professionals as I am learning.

For DK look at the h2h games & you will see which players are playing the big money games. These are the sharks that feed on fish like you that you have to avoid. I suggest playing the large 50-50 games so you don't deal directly with them All the sharks play a ton of h2h games at every entry level. So look for players who are playing maybe 10 or less h2h games at the $1 $2 level. Most of the sharks can have more than 30 h2h at the low levels more or less. Look at csuram & maxdulury. Especially max he has least 4 or.5 10k h2h games plus a ton more. Max normally plays 100k a nite. Once you see these guys that are playing a ton at all the money levels means you need to avoid these guys. Also you can play these guys at a low level game just so you can see what players they are playing which might help you with establishing your own strategy. GL

No you can't but avoid hth with maxdalury and underjones

I hate them and they buy tons of lineups for all the big money contests

Pretty soon daily fantasy sites will die out like online poker did. I used to be easy to find soft games but then all the fish quit playing and it was nothing but sharks.

[agendaman]

[shaunovery]

Be brave swim with the Sharks of you know you're stuff

[mpaschal34]

Just like poker....if you want make money, you've got to get lucky win the big one. Otherwise the rake over time will eat your profits.

[Mitchell88]

yea there is no real way to compleytly no play sharks but you can give your self the best chances not to play them

[Jrod124]

Only hope is some day DK or FanDuel will change their model to adapt to the times. I don't see that happening

Otherwise the causal players, like myself, will simply not play.

Here's a tip, always take the starting pitcher going against the Mets.

Thanks bolsinger and thanks retarded second base ump who stood in front of Kendrick to prevent him from getting grounders

[Auto Donk]

[Robber]

Dk running ads saying they're giving away 3 million

They're not giving away anything

[Auto Donk]

No they won't, Fox business just fronted DK 300 million.
MLB just partnered with DK as an official sponsor, so did NBA.
They ain't going nowhere, it's is and it's going to be a 2 man game, FanDuel and DK, don't kid yourself, DFS is here to stay

Just like the books, they get pretty much get the same vig
200 dollar prize pool in a 2 dollar 100 man contest they pay out 180.
Now on the DFS's behalf, they have serious overhead, their I/T costs are astounding.
