    Fanduel or Daily Joust??

    what site do my fellow sbr posters recommend?

    i am looking to spend my points soon and have narrowed it down to these 2 items. it looks like they are very similar except Fanduel cash is 1400 points while Joust cash is 1600 points in the SBR Store.

    joust sucks. almost impossible to win at the cbb solo game. only other guy who plays cbb is jesse and ohio something or other who appear to live on the site. i dont follow nhl enough to play their games and nba scoring is kinda complicated. spend ur points on a five guys gift card.

    Not sure If you can do this, but why don't you spend a little bit more betpoints and order a $100 **** gift card, then load your Fanduel and Daily Joust accounts with that? Because if you order fantasy cash from the SBR store, there is a 2x rollover.

    Hopefully, I don't get into trouble with SBR for this.

    because if your depositing $100 your most likley bettingi more than once anyways, unless your tryng to hit once double up and run. but even then you can run with half and get your $100 and bet the other half and satisfy the RO.

    And the fact the you can get 300 in cash on DJ/FD (4200-4800) or 200 giftcard (4800) make its dumb to go the gift card route.

    I play at Dj, and like it but I am finding the traffic to be low. I feel like I am playing the same group of guys daily and sometimes games don't fill.

    Dj customer service is impeccable though....but that may be aided by the fact that there's so few players to serve.

    just got 99 points in a solo basketball game on joust (need 100 to win). miles plumlee gets the game of his life and i still lose by 1 point if you do the math on how much they charge per point its like freakin impossible to beat IMO, really wish i went with fanduel, couldnt see it being any worse.

    in 4 games thats the first time i broke 90. granted i will give them props for refunding me (in bonus money) for picking cj wilcox from washington in a game he was out of due to a minor injury.

    as wv says, just not a lot of traffic for basketball, guys who do play it are almost impossible to beat if you look at their stats.

    Looks like this thread could use a little fair balance.....

    The NBA action is pretty huge at DJ and from what I see lots of people are playing the solo's. They even started a multi-day survivor tournament based on winning solo's - so you get money for winning each solo plus you get a tournament prize if you are the last survivor.

    I don't play much college basketball - but Joust does offer more college games than any other site with live scoring.

    I could never get into them
    Seems though you can win money

    Hard to do both(sportsbetting/fantasy) as they do not go hand in hand
