squirrelpatrol's Scouting Report
John Breslin, aka squirrelpatrol, is a consistent top-ranked Grinder and RotoGrinders contributor. He is a graduate of Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh and graduated with an M.B.A. from prestigious New York University. He followed that up studying abroad at the London School of Economics. He’s been playing fantasy sports since 1996 and is still scarred from being on the losing end of James Stewart’s 5-TD performance. John beat out the competition to take home first place in the 2018 FanDuel World Fantasy Baseball Championship and has numerous other six-figure finishes to his name.

- *Contests held before we were able to collect prize amount won use our old rankings formula based on prize pool and place finished. This allows these contests to still appear in historic biggest scores, but they are not directly comparable to scores after Jan 2017.

Jimmy Butler FanDuel Ownership in Cash Games Last Night
Thanks - I hadn't seen that in the NBA Forum but it's a very interesting discussion. My guess is that you hit it exactly (if you're saying what I think) - a handful of different sites had the same optimal lineup, and then some people also consolidate proj... Read More

Jimmy Butler FanDuel Ownership in Cash Games Last Night
It's surprising to me that even the RG Optimal Lineup would make up 40% of the lineups in a Double-Up contest - that couldn't possibly be a sustainable long-term strategy, could it? For example last night in the $11 Double-Up, it "cashed" $7.53, which mak... Read More

More detailed information from Vegas K prop line?
Yes I believe that is the over - so in this case you'd estimate Morton at 6.64, and I'd say Tanaka at 5.2. Again this is kind of back-of-the-envelope math, and it seems to fall apart at the larger odds lines, but it allows for ranking the guys in a way b... Read More

More detailed information from Vegas K prop line?
I take a look at the Vegas K props every day and do something similar to what you're talking about. I just ballpark it by taking out about .15 from the odds line and adding to the strikeout number. So for example, you'll often see "Over 6.5 Ks -115; Unde... Read More

Did Seth Yates steal $$$ ?
Fair enough, if this gets into the mainstream news and people are able to get their money back, then great. I think it's more likely that 100 or so people in the DFS community are agitated until NBA games start and then everyone forgets. Read More

Did Seth Yates steal $$$ ?
It took me three reads to figure out this wasn't a reference to "(player-popup #pascal-siakam)Pascal Siakam":/players/pascal-siakam-35186. A tip of the hat to the guy working the 17th-century french philosophy reference into our what-happened-to-Seth's-Su... Read More
