thinking about using Garza tonight against the cubs

I'm using Porcello vs. the Twins as my sleeper.

I've got this one out in 50/50's

Chavez
Lucroy
Moss
Zobrist
Lowrie
Donaldson
Joyce
Braun
Werth

Swapped out Jennings for Werth. Never have had luck with Desmond and I'd rather take my chances with Werth against a lefty.

ohhhh boy

come on Alex Rios and Robbie Ross!!!

Thinking Estrada or Lee tonight. Lots of cheap pitchers today too though.

My Early team:

P Anibal Sanchez
C Victor Martinez
1B Albert Pujols
2B Danny Espinosa
3B David Freese
SS Derek Jeter
OF Alfonso Soriano
OF Michael Bourn
OF Grady Sizemore

tough night with the rain forecasts all through the midwest

Need to get back on this jawn.

Forgot about it until I got some email the other day. Had $3 left from last year. Entered some $2 one, thought I did bad, won $10. Got another email this week, entered some $2 one, won $14. Think I'll keep that strategy.

Trent wipes his ass with two dollar bills.

I felt in top of the world winning $14. Can't imagine what he feels like. Can do without the stress of losing big some nights.

Any of the fanduel vets wanna help an impoverished brother out with some tips?

Going with this, depending on lineups:

P Zack Greinke
C Jarrod Saltalamacchia
1B C.J. Cron
2B Jose Altuve
3B Pablo Sandoval
SS Hanley Ramirez
OF Yasiel Puig
OF Scott Van Slyke
OF Christian Yelich

Avoid rain.
Exploit ballparks.
Pick players who bat 1/2/3.
Exploit lefty killers against mediocre LHP.
Pick road team hitters.
Try to avoid hitters against great pitchers.

Thanks bud

Cron sat, so I swapped him and Sandoval with Carpenter and Herrera (LAA). Best night ever. Won the Line Drive, Home Run, Single, Blast, and Ace, 3rd in Bunt and Squeeze #2, and 4th in Strikeout. Wagered $305, cashed $8,100. Felt like mini-Trent. Very mini.

Wow

Congrats man that's amazing

Thanks, man - I should probably quit. I'll never do this again, and will think I can.

The ability to walk away is a skill. God knows Rube would double down. You might be smart enough to execute it.

At the very least you could cash out a chunk of the winnings so you're ahead no matter what and decide not to buy back in if what you leave in the pot ends up being lost. I think that would be my play, but unfortunately, I haven't won thousands at FanDuel so do not know for sure how I would react.

Good points. My first reaction was "hookers and blow", but my 17-year-old son was sitting next to me watching every game we could, counting down the outs, praying Giancarlo didn't hit a 3-run bomb in the 9th and cost me half my winnings. So I would have had to get him some, too.

Basically decided to cash out $5K to cover some upcoming expenses that are outside the normal budget, and keep the rest in so I don't always feel like I'm a bad week away from being done with FanDuel.
