For as long as I can remember I have submitted a line up for DraftKings every single week.
Ranging from free entries all the way up to $50 entries.
I deposited $100 into my account when I created it, and have never had to deposit ever since, even making a couple of small withdraws.
Admittedly, however, my biggest win has only been $20. DraftKings and others like it are unique because you get a certain salary to make a lineup and there are near endless combination of players you can use to fill your line up using the designated $50,000 salary.
As a new member of the team, and after talking to Andy about the projections of players based on the DraftKings format, we have decided to run an experiment. I will submit 1 line up based on my “hunch” as I have always done, without looking at projections, and will submit another based on the projections.
I will update after with actual scores.
As always let me know your thoughts, tweet me @KyleEller36 . Week 1 line ups (Sunday games only) are as follows:
