Joshuaamel destroys Draftkings with the highest score on the entire site on Sunday. It all amounts to over $150k for an impressive weekend. Combinations are key if you multi-enter and I discuss one of the mistakes I was making when creating them. Flatter payouts are all over the lobby including high-stakes.
Thursdays were meant to struggle, total ownership at pitching is something we should pay attention to, Summer of Soccer on Draftkings with a Golden Boot bonus | Ep. 27 07.06.2019 9:16
We had just one tournament with $100k to first and it was on Fanduel. Other than that, there were no HUGE winners.

Showdown winners take down $58,750, focusing on role players can give you a huge edge, I also give you captain numbers to help you out | Ep. 23 03.06.2019 12:35
There were 8 Showdown winners who took down $58,750 each by using Demarcus Cousins as the captain. Speaking of the captain, using players other than Kawhi and Steph could give you a HUGE edge. I share some numbers on the captain spot and discuss on how to use them effectively.

The latest Millionaire on Draftkings goes by the name Jobe_bx and he did it all by himself. NO TIES. I dig into using stars and scrubs at pitching only, and see if we should be locking in this combination. May Millions Finale is today and there's another $200k to first up for grabs.

Low scoring night on Draftkings but sharks still come out ahead, sticking to a couple pitcher could up your results, and I give my take on the RG buyout | Ep. 20 29.05.2019 11:35
We didn't see HUGE scores on Tuesday but the big players still came out ahead. What would happen if we reduced our pitching pool to 2-3 players? Rotogrinders was bought out for $21M, what does that mean for other companies in the space?
MrGoodseats - the king of Memorial Day Weekend, #TechForHeroes took place this weekend, and a suspended game closes off the weekend | Ep 19 28.05.2019 11:48

No six-figure winners on a slow Thursday in DFS, playing the meat of a team could prove to be unique and beneficial, better payout structures come to DK | Ep 18 24.05.2019 10:58
It was a slow Thursday to say the least. No six-figure winners as the MLB only featured an early slate. Playing the heart of the order in stacks could be the key to long-term success in MLB DFS. Draftkings introduces a couple tournaments with ideal payout structures.
Chalk was GREAT and no one had an edge on Wednesday, fading cheap hitters in stacks could make a difference, I also take a look at the lobby for Thursday | Ep 17 23.05.2019 9:13
We didn't have any HUGE winners on Wednesday as chalk did great and there wasn't significant edge. Cheap players are almost always part of a stack. Can fading them be an edge in large-field tournaments? I take a look at the lobby for Thursday in what should be a day off for everyone.
Dandydon owns Draftkings on Tuesday, I discuss having pitchers at different tiers if you limit your player pool, all tournaments on the early slate are top-heavy. RIP | Ep 16 22.05.2019 8:57
Dandydon has a HUGE six-figure payday as he nearly sweeps Draftkings. If you limit your player pool, having pitchers at all price points is critical. The early slate features top-heavy payout structures only as there is no knuckle ball tournament.
$150k in winnings for Getoffme2312 in the most unique way, there are less profitable players per tournament, Fanduel showcasing better payouts little by little | Ep. 15 21.05.2019 11:45
Getoffme2312 had a monster night by shipping one of the biggest tournaments on Draftkings. He also placed 2nd and 3rd LUL. There are less profitable players per tournaments now on Draftkings as payout structures get worse. Fanduel seems to be taking note of the criticism and is displaying better payout structures at different buy-in levels.
The PGA Millionaire was crowned and I'll show you how he did it, stack combos are a great way to gain an edge on the field, and 30% to first might be the norm | Ep. 14 20.05.2019 11:12
Wojomojo takes down the PGA Millionaire event in style as he wins by a large margin. Stack combinations might be the reason some users are having a hard time reaching top scores. Is Draftkings now running 33% to first on a daily basis?
Bric75 with the good ole double dipper, how contrarian is too contrarian, and is Draftkings soon to experiment with new contests? | Ep. 13 17.05.2019 10:34
Bric75 is unstoppable. He had a monster Thursday in the early slate AND the late slate. How contrarian is too contrarian? I discuss this as I look over lineups from the previous weeks. Draftkings is asking users their thoughts on the current lobby. Could this be signs of things to come?
Update on ticket counts for the DK MLB Final, PGA Millionaire gets underway today, NBA 2-game slates could be profitable | Ep. 12 16.05.2019 9:30
No huge winners on Wednesday so I do a ticket count for the Draftkings MLB Live Final. The PGA Millionaire gets underway and I share a couple tips for those trying to reach the top. NBA still features 2-game slates which could be profitable if you limit your ties.
Wakeywakey owned Draftkings for a day, I discuss how to correct downswings (I'M ON ONE), and I share details on the DK Sportsbook Odds Boost | Ep. 11 15.05.2019 9:42
Wakeywakey swept the lobby yesterday as he took down a massive six-figure payday. I'm on one of the worst downswings of my career and I discuss ways to stop it. The Draftkings Sportsbook was doing "odds boosts" where they give ridiculous lines for an hour each. I discuss the point of this and how it benefits the public.
Reynaldo Lopez took a couple guys to the promise land but no HUGE paydays, treat all aspects of MLB DFS separately, and I update you on the May leaderboards | Ep. 10 14.05.2019 10:04
Sharks took a hit on yesterday's slate and it was Reynaldo Lopez who was in charge of that. There weren't any monster paydays but I do outline some of the winners. Treating your hitters and pitchers separately could be the key to improving your process. I give a May leaderboard update and show you who's the favorite to take down the crown.
Awesemo takes down the May Millionaires MLB tournament, I discuss how to play multiple stack types, and a nice tournament for the mid-stake players | Ep. 9 13.05.2019 11:12
The biggest winner so far this year, Awesemo, takes down the biggest tournament. Playing multiple stack types in one slate has worked well so far for the big name players, how can we replicate this? Fanduel starting to roll out 25-max tournaments with relatively small amounts of entries. I love it!
Darcmaniluk and 1800Eddie headline the main slate winners, moving up in stakes isn't the worst idea, I talk May Millions BASEBALL edition | Ep. 8 10.05.2019 10:06

Rikkidee with two binks on two different slates ON THE SAME DAY. I talk the best stack types for 5-gamers, and Bigmel ships the two game NBA slate by his or her self! 09.05.2019 9:30
Rikkidee did something others rarely get to do and that's win early and late slate tournaments. I explain how. We have two 5-gamers on Thursday and I go over the best stack types to use. Bigmel ships the two game NBA main event and doesn't tie with anyone. Plus some thoughts on the Durant injury.
Winners had Mike Fiers and his 130-pitch no-hitter, I'll share how you can land on low-owned pitchers, and is Fanduel's HR challenge a waste of time? 08.05.2019 8:49
Mike Fiers was the king of Draftkings yesterday with his no-hitter. I share on how much Fiers you should have had in your lineups. Low-owned pitchers are extremely valuable in tournaments, I'll share a couple tips on how you can land on them more often. Fanduel's HR Challenge is quite possibly the dumbest thing ever.
Sharks struggle bigtime, learning fantasy and lineup building more important than the actual sports, and Monday's lobby was the worst we've ever seen | Ep. 5 07.05.2019 11:06
Most of the top players in DFS struggled on Monday. The optimal lineup builds didn't perform and it cost the big players a great chunk of money. Ownership projections have become a staple of DFS in 2019. I explain why you should learn how to use them instead of learning new baseball statistics. Monday featured a top-heavy lobby which attributed to the negative outcomes for most. I hope this isn't...
