    My curse is almost comical
    I normally play all the big dfs contests.
    Not necessarily big buy-ins but the large pools.
    I do 50s and small stuff like triple ups, quintuple ups as well. Range from $5 to like $33.

    Draftkings i was scraping the bottom of the barrel with my balance and points.
    Played about 10 contests today and didnt fare well early. Instead of depositing again I did some cheap $1, $3, and .25 stuff for kc pitt.
    Played a .25 tiers contest with 23,700 people. Got fukking 5th for $50.

    23,700 ppl...

    Probably will never happen again.
    The odds of that happening again are dam near impossible. Of course it has to happen in a dam 25 cent contest when I never do those.

    Unreal.

        How much do you think you would have won had you done your normal bet.

          So what even if you did the $33 you’d make a little over 6 grand and that wouldn’t even put a dent in your gambling losses that you’ve talked about on here. Why dwell on it.

            He said his typical range is $5 to $33 so if we split the difference and call it a $19 buy-in, he'd have hit for $3800 with the same ROI.

              6k would help a hell of a lot more than 50 bucks would right now.

              But yeah maybe just a bandaid.

                But you would have saved $49.75 if you didn't cash. That adds up.

                  Do you play Showdown mode as well? I'm hooked on it. I missed a huge payout by less than 9 points on Saturday night. I'm hooked on Draft Kings. I got some insight into the sweet spot in DK. I'm curious what sites you use for research? We should start up a SBR Daily Fantasy Group. Let's be best friends for a few years.

                            Yeah with his luck though it would go class action and then he would get like 17 dollars.

                              I don’t think he’d be happy with what they have for a settlement.

                                  Yea i do not see anyone being able to do that i am sure somewhere on here is a disclaimer that this is just for entertainment purposes. If they never took any money from him even harder.

                                      I did a showdown for last nights game $3 200k gtd because like i said i was scraping funds.

                                      COMPLETELY SEPERATE FROM THE CONTEST THAT I STARTED THIS THREAD ABOUT

                                      Anyways
                                      2 guys split 1st, 15k a piece. I had the same exact lineup as both including mahomes as the 1.5x, 5 chiefs and 1 steeler except...

                                      I used d.johnson as my steeler and butker as my other chief.
                                      They used the pitt defense and kelce. We both had mahomes, hill, mckinnon, and pringle.

                                      A 17.48 point difference. I got $10 and they each got 15k.

                                      I knew the play was to only take 1 steeler. And not ben or najae or the kicker. No claypool or snell or any other wr. Was thinking maybe freiermuth. But went with diontae. Didnt want the defense.
                                      Looking back, i called it that the def was a bad play, got -4 for points allowed...but still got 8 total for the turnovers and def td. Obviously no one can predict a defensive td

                                      Easy to say afterwards but who else would have taken diontae+butker over kelce+pitt defense?

                                      Kind of sick that i fade kelce for 10k.

                                      Oh and i woulda used pitt def if i did use kelce because all of the other Pittsburgh starters salaries would have been too high to use.

                                        There's been the standard age restrictions/gamble responsibly disclaimer for years here. Woj has repeatedly asked for help and then gone and done the same thing every time despite receiving good advice from posters- continue to gamble. The only person to blame is himself.

                                        I'm starting to wonder if this account is just an elaborate troll job anyways.

                                            I actually think its because I did two really bad things a long long time ago regarding money, so the universe is punishing me indefinitely.

                                            I wish i was trolling

Woj has repeatedly asked for help and then gone and done the same thing every time despite receiving good advice from posters- continue to gamble. The only person to blame is himself.

                                                I'm starting to wonder if this account is just an elaborate troll job anyways.
                                                Possibly. His stories are wild and never ending. The guy literally can’t win. Sort of how I feel about another poster. He’s down -564.5 units the last 16 months and continues to argue with posters over records. SBR might be on to something with this elaborate paid scheme.

                                                  I had a major meltdown at Caesars a ways back i am still recovering from close to losing $100000 . It destroyed my life at the time.I would deposit through Playpal and lose it without winning hand then it just kept spiraling out of control. It just let me keep betting even though i did not have it in my account. After losing like $25000 losing 99% of BJ hands (I knew it was rigged i just kept going hoping it would let me win some back) i just put more and more in $600 then $500 losing almost very hand. I never even got ahead once in a session that is how rigged Caesars was. It was not until i lost over $90000 that it stopped me and by then it was already too late. Luckily they do not push me to pay i guess afraid they will get nothing so i have worked it down slowly since . Still a long ways to go but at $72200 right now

                                                    Caesars online or Caesars Palace? Incredible to lose $100k like that. You just slowly pay them back whatever you want? Incredible.

                                                                    Blues should win 4-2 ish. Over seems decent but husso been playing better than binnington lately and no forsberg for nashville.

                                                                    Zona scares me not gonna lie but the rams and stafford are such garbage. JJ watt back tonight probably not 100% tho. Both teams garbage really. Both coaches are terrible. If they can bottle up kupp they just have to worry about higbee. No running game, obj washed up and van jefferson is hurt.
