Maxman Posted September 18, 2015 Author Share Posted September 18, 2015 wow, 123 I think we will come close to 200 entries this week. Still cool though because the top 200 all double their money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Integrity28 Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 wow, 123 If we had any intelligence as a community, we'd conspire as a group to cap all entries at 200. Then take our free money and run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroadwayJoe12 Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 They know damned well that many of us will spend the $10 winnings and a lot more right on their genius site. They know exactly what they are doing. I have never seen a more aggressive advertising blitz as fanduel has been putting out the last 3 weeks. Hats off to them. They built a winner. They showed a figure of the top 10 companies as far as advertising over the first week of the football season: draft king was #1 at $16 million, then a few cellular and beer companies followed by fan duel at #6 at $10 million or so. It's insane how much those two have been advertising, they're absolutely killing it. They're commercials of "average-joe-bets-$50-wins-$1 mill" really resonates, brilliant.

I'm doing the same. I dropped a few in, haven't even set the lineups yet, now waiting to see how full the league gets. If we get to 190 for example, I'll bring it to 200 but not over so we all net out with prizes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dcat Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 I'm going to be putting a whole bunch of lineups later today... maybe more than 10, primarily because of the payout structure for our group. It just makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxman Posted September 19, 2015 Author Share Posted September 19, 2015 I entered twice. So we know that those two entries will fall outside of the top 200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadwayJets Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Somewhere around 115 - 120 I believe. I've used fanduel before but have always been confused by that, do you know if they restructure the prize order if 200 people do not sign up?

Maxman Posted September 20, 2015 Author Share Posted September 20, 2015 I thought there used to be a 5 entry limit per person Last week they had a 5 entry per person limit, this week they changed it to 20. Don't quote my math I ran this quick but I think last week if we had 130 people in it they made $1,300 and paid out $5,580 in prize money. With 300 entries like we have right now they bring in $3,000 and pay out $7,000. So they actually lose a little more money on it this week. They have to be at 700 people to break even, that is insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
