Why You Should Try Fantasy Golf For The #Masters

The Masters. One of the few times a year I get excited about golf. Is it gambling and fantasy related? Of Course. I love the concept of the Millionaire Maker on Draft Kings. The idea that anyone can and will turn $20 into $1 million is exciting, despite the odds. I will gladly take my shot and hopefully turn a profit. My expectations are slightly low as I realize the payout structure and likelihood of a high finish is slim. Two years ago I did have the first and second place finishers in my lineup. That was my best Masters financially.

Do I know a great deal about golf? No, not really. I play golf on DK and FD and I am in a PGA fantasy league. I think I know more than a large portion of the people playing, but I am not in the top tier of knowledge the way I think I am for football and basketball. I do understand game theory and how to avoid group thinking as a strategy. I do listen to podcasts and read a few articles on the topic to gather as much information as I can. My kids in the car will say “why do we have to listen to people talking again.” Daddy is trying to pay for more Pokemon cards, Nintendo Switch games and trips to Lego Land. That’s why.

If you have never played DFS golf, I highly recommend it. You pay your entry fee and lineups lock early Thursday morning. You get four days’ worth of a rooting interest for your entry fee. It is similar to the NCAA tourney in that way. Did I mention you could turn $20 into $1 million? As remote of a possibility as that is, mentally I like knowing that I could change my life dramatically due to a lineup I am entering. (There are 235,294 entrants in the Milly Maker on DK this week, so it’s hard to win) If you are debating trying this for the first time, or have played before, here are some ideas to help you actually give you a chance to win.

  1. Don’t use all your salary. Most amateurs will use their entire salary and makes it more likely your lineup will be duplicated. Why does that matter? Imagine winning this thing, but then having to split it with numerous people who arrived at the lineup as you. Leave between $100-$500 in salary left to help make your lineup more unique.
  2. Don’t pick Tiger Woods. People love to root for him. Could he win? Maybe, but he is an easy fade to me. Let the public play and cheer for him.
  3. Don’t pick any of the old guys. Once you win the Masters you get to play there forever. THESE GUYS CAN’T WIN. Make the cut, yes. They will not win.
  4. This is a spot where course history matters. Jordan Spieth has been god awful for the last few years. At least that’s how it feels, but he plays very well here. I will have some shares of Jordan Spieth.
  5. The odds on favorite seems to never win here. That doesn’t mean you should not play Rory this week. You should know that he is the betting favorite.

 

I mentioned the other day that I bet Paul Casey to win the Masters and I have him at 30/1. I will be invested in Casey in other ways too. He is my most owned player in my DFS lineups. Here is my current player pool that I have narrowed down and am working with.

Paul Casey
Charley Hoffman
Kevin Kisner
Fransisco Molinari
John Rahm
Jordan Spieth
Pat Cantlay
Bryson DeChambeau
Charles Howell III
Tony Finau
Dustin Johnson
Matt Kuchar
Brooks Koepka
Cameron Smith

I am keeping my pool tight and hoping this core performs well. If I can get all of these players to make the cute I should have a good weekend.

I need to mention that Virginia winning was a nice end to the college basketball season for me. While I missed my middle by half a point, I did turn a profit and got to cash that Virginia 12/1 ticket. My record below is updated and accurate now that the college season has ended and the NBA playoffs are about to begin. I will be back with some NBA series bets soon. Good luck everyone!

How to Middle the #NCAA Title Game! My bet to win the #Masters

If you read the last post, then you know I needed Virginia to just win on Saturday to lock up a nice profit in my bracket pools. I ended up trying to middle the game and bet Auburn +5.5 for the amount I was about to win if Virginia won.

IMG_3508

 

I needed Virginia to win by 1-5 to hit all the way around and wouldn’t you know I got there. Is Virginia a team of destiny? It certainly seems that way. Now that Michigan State has been eliminated I needed to reassess my potential bracket pool winnings. I know for sure I am going to win $250, even if Virginia loses tonight. However, how much more do I stand to win should they win the title? Once I factor in my entry fees and any equity swaps I have out there bracket wise, a Virginia win would net me an additional $400.

Sadly, the line for tonight is too tiny to create a middling window of any kind. If the line got to Virginia -2.5 or even 2 it would give me a small window to try and make this work. However, I did find an option. Looking at the props offered for tonight’s game I noticed some alternate lines. Most books offer these with different odds since the point spread had been altered. In those props I noticed Texas Tech +7.5 is -280. Hmmmmm. Obviously, laying $280 to win $100 is not exactly profitable in the long term. This is a unique situation. Just as I could Saturday, if I bet the $400 additionally that I will win with a UVA win on TT +7.5, I could win about $150 if TT is good with the points. This wager would also create a nice seven-point window to middle and win both. Based upon how both of these teams play and the insanely low total of 118, this is going to be a close game. I think I have to make this wager and try to middle once again. I wish the odds were better, but the window and points allow me to hedge with a massive chance to win both. (Also, if you were paying attention a few months ago I gave out UVA at 12/1 to win the title. Hopefully, you have that ticket in hand)

 

The Masters is this week and I will be making several lineups on Draft Kings and Fan Duel. While those will lock on Thursday morning, I will be making one wager on a golfer to win. I really like Paul Casey at 30/1. Casey has played the Masters 12 times at this point making the cut nine times. Looking into the numbers even deeper, Casey has five top ten finishes and another three in the top 20.

Paul Casey Masters Finishes Last Four Years
2018 Tied 15th
2017 6th
2016 Tied 4th
2015 Tied 6th

All of this suggests he has been close and can win this tournament. At 30/1 he is too good of a value to pass up. I will be back later this week with my Masters lineups. Good luck everyone!

Final Four Bets! Let it Ride or Hedge?

This is such a weird sports moment. The NBA is slowly grinding to the playoffs. College basketball is down to three games left. The Masters is a week away. Baseball is just getting started. From a gambling and fantasy standpoint, I hate the next few day.

The NBA at this point is very difficult to figure out and bet on or play in terms of DFS. Motivation for every team is bizarre and late scratches and inactive players are very common. It can be overwhelming to figure it all out while also worrying about other things. (Like life, kids, wife, baseball lineups, etc.)  I think I am going to be done with NBA wagering and DFS until the playoffs start in a few weeks. I will have some series bets for sure once the matchups are lined up. Part of the reward for having NBA league pass and watching games all year is we should have an idea how these teams will play against each other in a seven game series. I also need to prepare to hedge my Denver Nuggets 28/1 to win the title ticket I have.

I don’t know a ton about golf and the PGA tour, but of course I am in a PGA fantasy league and will make DFS lineups for the Masters. DFS golf is such a great bang for your buck. Four days of play for one entry fee! I will post my lineups next week before the Masters starts. I plan to two do things, fade Tiger Woods and fade Jordan Spieth. Spieth has been awful for what feels like two years now.

I truly forgot how frustrating DFS baseball can be. You can get your pitching right, but watch all your hitters do nothing. Just as hard to watch is your lineup hit five home runs and then one of your pitchers get shelled. That happened to me this past weekend. I am already looking forward to the NFL being back.

I can win or finish in the money in all my bracket pools if one of two things happen. If Michigan State loses Saturday and Virginia wins, I will clinch a money finish. If Virginia wins it all I will also clinch a money finish. The big question is, do I hedge now to lock up a win, or wait until the finals and hope Virginia is there. Auburn at +210 does seem like a great hedge spot. I do think Virginia is going to grind them into the ground. I could always take Auburn at +5.5 and hope Virginia wins, but doesn’t cover and then win all the money. I am kind of thinking that I should bet Auburn and basically have a free roll of trying to middle the situation. Meaning I should win twice as much if Virginia wins but doesn’t cover. As long as Virginia wins one game, I calculated that I should win about $250 for sure. I am looking at this as a free $250 I can bet. Now, if Virginia wins by 1-5, I win my wager and the $250 from the brackets. I basically have no risk to win twice as much. If Virginia loses, I get the $250 I win on my bet and lose my brackets.

I do really like Virginia and think that they will cover, however I am going to bet Auburn at +5.5 to try and win all the money. In the second game I really like what Texas Tech has been doing. Yes, Michigan State has the coach and pedigree of past history, but this feels like it’s Texas Tech’s time. They went through the toughest path physically possible beating a 14, 6, 2, 1. I realize that Michigan State had a similar path that included Duke. I just really like TT’s defense. I am going to take TT +2.5.

IMG_3503
Three years ago I won all my brackets, can I do it again with UVA?

Good Luck everyone!

Close to Another GPP win! DFS Plays!

Not exactly the start I wanted to my sweet 16 wagers. I went 0-3 picking games and only won that money line parlay I mentioned on 93.7 The Fan with the Yankees. I hope to bounce back tonight. As a reminder I have LSU, VT, VT (First half), UNC, and Kentucky.

Yesterday was the start of the baseball season and it was profitable. The afternoon slate on Draft Kings was almost incredible as I got close to have a decent sweat. I was one home run away from being one home run away, HA. Still, it was a profitable first day of baseball despite Toronto almost getting no hit.

As the NBA regular season winds down things get weirder and weirder in terms of rest and tanking. I came extremely close to taking down the $44 Spin Move on Draft Kings again last night. I finished 13th and was a Buddy Hield three away from a big push. Hield missed a three to tie the game at the buzzer and give me over time to hopefully bolster my four players in the game. I had Ian Clark, De’Aaron Fox, Julius Randle and Christian Wood. Fox was extremely low owned (7.37%) and crushed scoring almost 60 DK points. I would have needed about 19 points from those four in OT to push me to the top of the leader board. That could have happened had Hield made that three. Tonight is another night and I am ready to roll.

IMG_3397

In terms of DFS tonight I like two pitchers German Marquez and Joey Lucchesi. I am going to build around those two before making my stacks. I could be talked into Gerrit Cole, but I think I am going to stay away for now. For hitters I am looking to stack Oakland and Milwaukee and hope we get a lot of home runs!

The NBA has given us two fantastic games for fantasy options. I don’t think it’s possible to play too many people from the Blazers, Hawks, Hornets or Lakers. This all hinges upon if anyone sits, but fire up those game stacks! I will start every lineup I make with Dame and Kanter and build from there. Good luck everyone!

Picks for the #Sweet16 and Opening Day DFS Thoughts

Last night I had the privilege to give out some picks on the Paul Zeise’s Radio Show on 93.7 The Fan Pittsburgh. I gave out everything I liked for this weekend in the NCAA tourney. As I mentioned on the air last night I believe in full transparency. If you did not get a chance to listen here are my selections and thoughts.

FSU +7.5 vs. Gonzaga
This is too many points. FSU is long, big and athletic and will keep this game close with the Zags. I think Gonzaga wins, but it is a one possession game.

Tennessee -1.5 vs. Purdue
I am fading the Big Ten. I am siding with the athleticism of the ACC and SEC. Tennessee doesn’t have any bad losses, but plays in a ton of close games. I think they get it done here.

Michigan -1.5 vs. Texas Tech
NO PICK. I have no feel for this game. I am staying away.

Virginia -8.5 vs. Oregon
Load up on Virginia. Virginia is going to win this game by 10+ points on their way to the final four. I don’t think this will be close. I will bet twice as much on this game as I will the others this weekend.

LSU +6 vs. Michigan State
Just like I said above, I am going with the SEC. MSU does not look completely healthy, but obviously have the better coach. I feel like the points will be vital in this spot.

NC -5 vs. Auburn
I think this line is a joke and Auburn gets run out of the gym.

VT +7.5 vs. Duke
Duke plays slow and can’t shoot. In that case I am taking the points and believe this game plays very close.

VT +4.5 vs Duke 1st Half
See above.

Kentucky-3 vs. Houston
I believe PJ Washington is going to play and the SEC marches on again.

Super fun Parlay
FSU +7.5
Tenn -1.5
Virginia -8.5
LSU +6
NC -5
VT +7.5
Kent -3
A $20 wager will pay about $1848!!

Baseball has finally returned to our lives and I can’t wait to make some DFS lineups on Draft Kings and Fan Duel. DK has a split slate of early game and then afternoon games, while FD has one larger slate. I really like targeting Jose Berrios at Pitcher as he a high strike out pitcher and gets to face an already injured Cleveland team. Tanaka and Nola are also in play for me in the earlier games. I always try to remember that starting pitchers don’t go super deep into games this early in the year, thus I fade the super expensive guys at time.

The obvious offense to target early is the Yankees and they will be super popular. To differentiate yourself try to stack the bottom half of the Yankees lineup. I also really like the Toronto Blue Jays bats today and it should be a low owned spot. At least that’s my plan at the moment.

 

Good luck everyone! Enjoy the fantastic weekend of baseball, NCAA hoops and NBA!

Spending Days in the Sports Book and How I won a #GPP

When the NCAA tourney starts I always take a few days off from NBA DFS. I took off Thursday through Sunday and decided to come back and play last night. I spent Thursday and Friday at Hollywood Casino making bets and watching games. While I don’t think Hollywood has figured out exactly what they should do with their sportsbook, the setup is pretty nice. The chairs in the sports book are not optimal for watching games for long hours. Additionally, there are no people serving drinks in that area. You have to physically leave and go to a bar to get a beverage.

The one saving grace is right outside the sportsbook is a sports bar. The beer selection is better than you would think and the food was actually pretty good. Even more surprising is that the prices were reasonable. I used my comps on Thursday and paid almost nothing for five hours of food, drinks and basketball. On Friday I used my daily food credit and spent about seven hours at this sports bar. With food and only drinking craft beer, my bill was about $60. Considering the amount of time and drinks ordered this seemed very fair. I would have spent this at Aroogas, or any sports bar easily and would not have been 100 feet from a sports book.

Obviously, in game wagering is the future and will be amazingly simple once we have an APP in Pennsylvania. Until then we have to be near the book. I took advantage of it twice for my benefit and once to my detriment. After betting Yale +7, watching them miss open shots in the first half, I felt they could come back down 15. The second half line was +1. I bet that and won bother wagers. I did the same with Virginia too. Conversely, I did it when Cincinnati lost their lead and that worked out horribly. There are value opportunities in wagering in game, especially if you are closely watching. I will say my Cincy wager was beer fueled and did not make as much sense later. HA.

I would highly recommend that you go and watch the next round of games at the sports bar near the sports book. You can get food, relax and bet the games. The service was very prompt despite how busy it was. The major downside is the bar with the best beer is just down the escalator from this area. I walked down and got some other delicious IPA’s that were only available at that bar. The prices were not that outlandish either. A craft beer that is normally $5 was $6 or $7. $7 for an Ever Grain Brewing Joose Juicy is a fantastic deal when a Bud Light is $5. Go and check it out for yourself!

 

Last night was my return to DFS and it was a fantastic return. Four days helped wonders it appears. Well, that and the double OT game from Portland and Brooklyn. My original plan was to play some Memphis value and then semi-stack the Portland/Brooklyn game.

IMG_3354

 

Once Mike Conley was also ruled out, I late swapped out Carroll and Bender for Caboclo and Holiday. That was a massively profitable swap. Memphis went off and beat the Thunder who are now in free fall. The entire starting five for Memphis went off and I had three of them, two of which were the lowest owned.

IMG_3355

 

I went to bed after the end of the first quarter of Portland and Brooklyn and felt that I could have a nice night and make some money. I texted a friend that it could be a good night, especially if we got OT in Portland. I woke up this morning to find out we not only got OT, we got two! The extra time helped me win the $12 single entry GPP and almost win the $44 spin move. What a great way to wake up! Hopefully, I can keep it going tonight!

Best Gambling Day of the Year! #NCAA

One of the best gambling days of the year is finally here. Beer. Basketball. Betting Slips. It’s everything I want in a day. I will be at Hollywood Casino for a large portion of the next several days. Of course, I need to post my wagers before I get there and try to help out everyone and let us all make some money.

Yale +6.5
LSU doesn’t have a coach and Yale can score the basketball big time. This feels like too many points. I think LSU wins a close game and the points matter here.

Belmont +3
This team is very good. We have been betting Belmont for weeks it feels like and why stop now especially with them getting points. How can I take Maryland seriously? They lost to PSU.

Northeastern +6.5
All of these lines have dropped slightly from their peak, but I am still in. This is the worst Kansas team in a few years. Bill Self has a history of losing early when he isn’t a one seed. I think Northeastern wins this game.

Northeaster +230
Ohhhh the money line dog wager.

Murray State +3.5
This line has also fallen slightly, but I am siding with the future top five NBA draft pick. Remember, Marquette has been in free fall. They have one win in the last three weeks. ONE.

St. Mary’s +4.5
This is not the Villanova team of the last few years. The public is going to see this and take Villanova. St. Mary’s is very tough against three point shooting teams and that’s all NOVA can do.

Wofford -3
Sadly, I can’t bet this at my casino since Seton Hall is in Jersey, but you can!

 

Crazy College Basketball Parlay
Yale +6.5
Belmont +3
Northeastern +6.5
Murray State +3.5
Kentucky Money Line
Michigan State Money Line
St. Mary’s +4.5
Minnesota +5.5
$10 wager would pay a nice $617

Good luck everyone! Hope to see you at Hollywood Casino!

Don’t watch any basketball and want to win your bracket pool? Read this!

So you didn’t watch that much college basketball? You know next to nothing about any of the teams in the bracket? You want the best chance to win your office pool? I am here to help, sort of. I am not going to tell you who to pick. I am going to tell you who not to pick.

Many people think the best way to give yourself a chance to win your pool is to pick the best team to win the title. That’s not entirely accurate. While picking the best team may actually give you the best chance to pick the winner, that does not guarantee winning your pool, or making any money. It is pretty straight forward to say that Duke is the prohibitive favorite to win the NCAA tourney. They have the best player. They might have the first THREE picks in the NBA draft. They have a hall of fame coach. They have a pretty favorable draw. The have the best odds in Vegas to actually win the title. They have all year. This week when you are listening to people give their picks, most people are going to pick Duke. That is precisely why you should not pick them.

I suppose everything depends upon what your goal is. Do you want to seem smart and say “I picked the champion,” or do you want to win your pool? I want to win my pool and any money I can. The best way to accomplish this goal is to make a contrarian champion selection.

Why? If you are in a pool with 100 people and 30 people pick Duke to win the title in their bracket, that does not guarantee you make money and finish at the top. Picking Duke in this scenario means you just finish in the top 30 with everyone else who picked Duke. Since most pools pay the top 5-10%, even picking the champion would be almost meaningless. This is the essence of game theory. If you want to give yourself the best chance to win a pool, pick anyone but Duke.

Using the same scenario as above, if Duke happens to lose relatively early, 30% of the field has already been eliminated. In most cases you have to pick the champion to actually win an NCAA bracket pool. Conversely, if the team you picked to win the title was only selected by you and two other people, you should almost automatically finish in the money should they win.

Of course all of this and how you should approach your bracket pool depends upon the size of the pool. If it is small and contains only a handful of entrants, I would go ahead and pick Duke. In that case I would be very chalky and allow everyone else to make mistakes. The larger the pool, the more contrarian you should become with your selections.

The toughest balance is being contrarian without being stupid. I am not advocating picking a bunch of 7 seeds or higher to win the title. I am simply saying pick someone not named Duke to win the title. However, if you really want to pick Duke, then be contrarian with the rest of your final four. Maybe you decide to pick Duke and a bunch of three seeds or higher. Obviously, there are a lot of combinations and things you can do. It is your bracket to have fun with. I know what I am planning to do though, pick anyone but Duke to win it all.

Good luck everyone!
(Of course if you are in a pool with me, don’t listen to this advice. Just pick Duke, it’s going to be fine. No one else will take them. Maybe, I am saying this so you don’t pick Duke and I can pick them as a low selected champion?)

Betting Conference Tourney Games #Xavier #SetonHall #Tennessee

Sometimes life gets in the way. My wife got the flu, I got a cold and our family was sent into a survival mode. Every family has been there. The let’s just get through this thing the best we can and recover next week. We are all slowly on the mend. AS a result, I have played much less volume in DFS and sports betting. I have just been tired and going to sleep early. Ironically, I had a nice sweat on Fan Duel one of the last few nights. Of course I was playing a fraction of the volume I had been playing. Still, no complaints almost took down the single entry assist on Fan Duel.

IMG_3182

This is really the time to sit back and watch a lot of basketball. Conference tournaments are in full swing and the NBA playoff seeding race is heating up. So is the tanking race. Tonight I like a few games.

Xavier +7.5 vs. Villanova
They split the season series and both games were very tight. This is too many points for a very inconsistent Nova team. This Nova team is not winning a title this year.

Tennessee -5.5 vs. Miss ST
Tennessee just beat them by double digits. This is a back-to-back for Miss St and Tennessee has got lots of athletes and plays fast. I am laying the points here.

Seton Hall +4.5 vs Marquette
Marquette has fallen off a cliff. They won last night showing signs of life for the first time in weeks. I’ll take the live dog that could easily win here.

In one week’s time I will be sitting in a sports book and watching all the games. I can’t wait. Good luck everyone!

Stack Against the #Hawks and Bet the #Kings #NBA

Had another decently close call in DFS the other night. During the Hawks and Bulls 4 overtime game, I had some pieces. I was shocked Spellman was as low owned as he was. Him getting hurt before the game went bonkers hurt. It could have gone better, but it was a positive night.

IMG_2848

I am not the only person saying this, but always stack against Atlanta. Keep doing it. EVERY TIME THEY ARE ON THE SLATE. Tonight a potentially shorthanded Miami Heat against the Hawks who are playing a road back-to-back. YES, PLEASE! The only questions is, how many Heat Players? If Dragic and Whiteside sit again I am ready to fire up Kelly O, Bam, Richardson, Winslow, Wade, Derrick Jones Junior and anyone who is going to play 20 plus minutes. In that same game if John Collins sits for the Hawks you have to play Alex Len. LEN IS 3700 ON FAN DUEL. HE IS FREE. Your core tonight should be Len and a few Heat players. Depending upon any other value that opens, you should be able to build a strong lineup with that core. I will happily play Lebron and Rondo too (as long as Rondo starts) in a massively important game. If the Lakers lose, it is all but officially over. Despite me saying it was last week.

In terms of wagers for tonight, there are a few unique opportunities. The New York Knicks are done and they are really trying to tank now. They were down more than 30 yesterday at the half against the Clippers. The Knicks have a road back-to-back against the fast paced Sacramento Kings. The Knicks are going to get crushed. They will come out slow, play slow and lose by 20+. I am betting the Kings first quarter line. I am betting the Kings first half line. I am betting the Kings to cover -11. As soon as I have a line on those two I will post my wagers on Instagram.

I like four college games tonight. I will continue to ride Virginia into the ground. Virginia -6. I don’t care if they are on the road against the weird Syracuse zone. The other three games are all from smaller conference tourneys. Some teams look ready to move on to Spring Break and others have NCAA tourney aspirations. I am taking the teams that are trying to make the NCAA tourney.
North Florida -9 vs. North Alabama
Liberty -13 vs Jacksonville
Lipscomb -25 vs Kennesaw State
Lay the favorite with all three.

Now for some real fun. One large parlay to give you that extra cash for the NCAA tourney.
This pays +3100ish depending upon the money lines.
Kings -11.5
Virginia -6
Liberty -13
Lipscomb -25
North Florida -9
Jazz Money Line
Bucks Money Line
Throw down $100 and watch that $3100 roll in. It’s that easy right?

Good luck everyone!
