bealeb319 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 This actually sounds good and I like the 5 max. Count my vote in for this proposal. I would vote this way too, its not fun thinking that one or two guys are unbeatable because they are in the top 10 every week when in reality they have 30 teams and only one of their teams don't suck.

Chrisrud Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 I'm actually fine the way things are. Even with it opening to the public we only had 329 entries with a prize pool of $4,330. So basically we contributed $3,290 dollars in entries and we are awarded an extra $1,000 dollars from Fanduel. That is a GREAT deal. Not a good deal, a GREAT deal. Sure a few outsiders may sneak in and win a few bucks, but we are all coming out way ahead in terms of value compared to EVERY other similar tournament on fanduel or other sites. Look at the average fanduel contest and you will see prize pools of $5k with 520 members contributing $10 per entry. Meaning Fanduel is making a profit on the pool. In our league, fanduel is LOSING money on us. If people want a small friendly fanduel league we can start a 50 person, 1 entry per person league. But there is no reason to stop this fanduel league while it's still great value. Just my 2 cents. I will do whatever you guys do, but this seems to make sense to me.

Gastineau Lives Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Putting a limit on the entries just ensures that more outside people will be in the contest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gastineau Lives Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Not if they don't see it. They are only entering from the FanDuel lobby. Where will all the extra teams come from? They're going to want to reach the limit, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted October 5, 2015 Author Share Posted October 5, 2015 Where will all the extra teams come from? They're going to want to reach the limit, no? The limit with entries (we don't have to do that) would come with a lower max of people that could enter. I was saying if we go from 700 to 300 people max maybe we limit the entries. But let's split the difference. I will ask them for a 300 or 350 person league with the 25 max per person that they were doing. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think 350 max with 10 entry limit given to us early in the week is the way to go. just my 2 cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gastineau Lives Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Why limit how many teams people can buy, unless you anticipate reaching the limit and having some people get shut out of the contest while others have twenty teams, which I doubt will happen.

JoJoTownsell1 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Why limit how many teams people can buy, unless you anticipate reaching the limit and having some people get shut out of the contest while others have twenty teams, which I doubt will happen. Agreed. The only time we should consider changing the format is when the league starts to fill up. Until that point, I say keep things the same.

Hofstra Jets Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Cashed with 4 of my 5 teams. All minimal cashing (20 bucks), but still cashing none the less. Again, Max, awesome job. Thanks. Look forward to week 5. Hopefully we can get more Jetnation people and less outsiders/pros Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted October 6, 2015 Author Share Posted October 6, 2015 I asked FanDuel for a league of 350 people and 25 teams max per person. They said they would have it to me on Monday. Nothing yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dcat Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Not if they don't see it. They are only entering from the FanDuel lobby. I can never find it via the Lobby. Always end up clicking the link you provide here. Although my son found it. Each week I have played 4-5 entries with 2 or 3 making the payout cut. Never hit for more than a $20 payout yet. My son puts in 2 or 3 entries with similar results. This DFS stuff is a lot harder than it looks. And how in the world does this escape the online gambling laws? This is gambling pure and simple.

FML I would have finished #1 had the Mark Ingram TD (that was clearly a TD) had not been overturned... I still could have finished #2 had the Seahawks completed 2 more passes to Graham for about 20 yards.. how do you not pass the ball to Jimmy Graham???

Pac Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 At some point this season you would think they figure out that they can throw the ball to Graham more often in a game. I was incredibly annoyed last night. This has been a fun few weeks of fanduel but the downside is I sat there for 3 hours watching every play of a game I normally wouldn't have watched 10 seconds of. Your o-line sucks and your running game was non-existent. PASS TO GRAHAM! Thankfully the stories today about the cheating going on is enough to keep me from venturing off into the main board of FD or DK. Just our games for me.

You need to be in one of those commercials man, lol. That story is bad for business and will also raise the already raised flag by lawmakers. Outside of the Jetnation group, I join a random $2 fifteen man group for fun. I came in 3rd place this week and won 5 bucks (minus my entry, it's 3 bucks) If there is a free tournament for hundreds of thousands of dollars I will join it. That's like a free scratch off card that I have no expectations of winning but you never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
