Here we Coors again. Should we be given an option?
DKs SLG doesn't even add up, and they don't show HBP or SF so I can't calculate how they got their OBP. I think it's pretty fucked if they're showing incorrect stats. Read More

Here we Coors again. Should we be given an option?
I mean, fangraphs has it at .757. Wtf. Why does DK even show these stats if they're just misleading people? I just went to a handy option to check, saw what it had, and accepted it. ffs. Read More

Here we Coors again. Should we be given an option?
They got a cease and desist from the proprietor of the site who offers it, who apparently devised it himself. DBD said it will still show if you have a subscription to that other site, which I'm not about to pay for just for that stat alone. I don't even k... Read More

Here we Coors again. Should we be given an option?
Just for the record, Carlos Gonazales has an OPS of .930 at home this year, compared to .697 on the road. Story is .854/.711. I might throw out a guy like "(player-popup)Pat Valaika":/players/patrick-valaika-17664 too, who is a monster at home, and pure s... Read More

Here we Coors again. Should we be given an option?
I'm a believer in going with what's good. Especially if you don't max enter. You only hurt yourself by spreading your exposure when you're up against tens of thousands of other lineups. Your two lineups of whatever stack/game will still be very unlikely to... Read More

Here we Coors again. Should we be given an option?
It just doesn't matter. The fundamentals of Coors don't change. The air is thin, and the outfield is huge. Results can be fluky. It's still a place where bad teams can explode, and elite batters are near must-play status. Not exactly must-play, of course, ... Read More

Ride the Slump or Jump Off
I would say stop thinking in those terms, and take each slate as a discrete event. This idea of starting or stopping at the right or wrong times is extraneous and will bleed into your lineup decisions like "when I use these players they do nothing, but whe... Read More

Am I the only one?
I can't imagine wasting energy caring about such an insignificant thing, much less making a thread about it. Their whole interface is a fucking mess. It's the most annoying website I visit. The PIR ticker is the least of it. Read More

How will DK find new players for football season?
Never mind that reaching the legal drinking age is a cultural rite. People go out of their way to drink the day they are allowed to. Most, of course, have been drinking for years. No such culture exists around DFS. They aren't just going to naturally wande... Read More

How will DK find new players for football season?
I work in the alcoholic beverage industry. It grows with the size of the drinking-age population. In general, people who drink, drink. Those who don't, don't. You don't open new markets in that industry, you just change the labels and mix a few new fruity ... Read More

Hmmm, reading through your post, I wouldn't say your interest is even remotely transparent... Not that I necessarily disagree, but come on buddy Read More

20 Entry Max?
I know you're a sharp guy, your posts always make a lot of sense, maybe you have a reason for making lineups the way you do, but in my experience it's way easier and less time consuming to just open the contest page and duplicate the tab as many times as y... Read More

20 Entry Max?
I don't know who this would really appeal to, who it would be for, but I would prefer a format where one buy-in gets you 10 lineups, with the top scoring lineup being the one that counts, or possibly an average. You could even still have multi-entry, where... Read More

DIsclosure and Accountability
100% agree. Touts are incredibly disingenuous when they pay lip service to teaching process, when all anyone really wants are the picks, and there's no reason using a past slate should be any less valuable than a current one, unless your intent is to give ... Read More

Pitch type Reaserch
You are on the right track here with pitcher types. I think baseball reference has defined a few categories, or "buckets" or whatever, but I don't use that site so I don't know how in-depth it is. I believe they have stats vs pitcher types. I've never gone... Read More

Draftkings gives special treatment to certain players
Something that's bothered me about this thread is people saying things like "no self-respecting high roller would ask for a refund" and "who would even ask" and the thing I've quoted here. We don't say these things about people who collude. We say, "of co... Read More

Draftkings gives special treatment to certain players
I don't think anyone disputes that DK has a right to deny service to whomever it pleases. That doesn't mean we can't criticize them for the choices they make, but they have that right. Read More

Draftkings gives special treatment to certain players
The only quibble I have with what you post is that they could easily look at her history and see if she has this strategy. I know I personally make lineups like that all the time, and I'm not a max entry pro. I routinely leave thousands on the table, becau... Read More

Draftkings gives special treatment to certain players
So, having chastised the posters whose condescending dismissals irritated me, I guess I'll second this part. My assumption is the part she's leaving out - and we should all be well aware that posts like hers are always leaving something out - is the part t... Read More
