    Congrats on top 100 Big Board! That was only tourn I maxed out. I got 50 teams in 2nd round but only advanced 2 to 3rd rd and 0 to finals. 1/10 so tough to advance. Gonna scale back on Big Board and spread $ around elsewhere. Ended up in 3 finals but min cashed in those. Hopefully better next year for both of us!

    • @splashplaypod
      @splashplaypod  17 днів тому

      Ha 1/10 imo is much less tough than some of the others out there, part of why I got so many finalists through despite only 60 entries. But yeah could always be better

  • @NMxCrazySkills
    @NMxCrazySkills 22 дні тому

    I feel you Spags! I got so much right there year and my 3 finals teams (1 BBM) all crashes out and just min cashed… depressing! But that’s the randomness of this game and hopefully we can bink one! Just like poker tournaments, so hard to win but it just takes one win to be extremely happy!

    • @splashplaypod
      @splashplaypod  22 дні тому +1

      it's just important to remember that even having finalists is incredibly hard. you want the sun run so bad but all you can do is put yourself in position as best you can for the randomness to maybe be in your favor

  • @NMxCrazySkills
    @NMxCrazySkills 22 дні тому

    Spaggs my biggest takeaways is even if you’re right on “the best guys” this year, it’s still so completely random what will happen in a 1 week sample size, that I still want to be spread out enough to potentially hit a few different outcomes.
    For example I faded Saquon completely this year thinking he wasn’t going to be a great pick compared to others around him, but I did believe he was capable of monster games… therefore, if any player is capable of a huge ceiling, next year I’m taking 4-5%. I don’t want 0 of any of those guys.

    • @NMxCrazySkills
      @NMxCrazySkills 22 дні тому

      A better example was I faded Jonathan Taylor- I thought the colts wouldn’t be that great this year, and AR would steal too many TDs…. Was I right or was I wrong on him???
      Feels like my thesis was right, however he had a couple spikes in the playoffs… so do I want 0 of him???
      Here’s an interesting thought of going after your guys… “ when I’m right, what do I get from it”?
      Unless you hit on like a puka or Kyren super later, the likely return isn’t as high on being right on a player as wed like to think

    • @splashplaypod
      @splashplaypod  22 дні тому +2

      i don't think it's as much about specific players as it is players that fit a certain role i.e. reliable projection RB with capability to get 2 TDs in playoff weeks, which covers a bunch of different RBs in that 15-25 range. It's not about the specific players that finished first (maybe besides a Thielen who was on like every team since he was a name value receiver who was decent last year) - it's about having a lineup that can survive pods as best it can and then maybe spike when you need it the most.
      but really it's just about having structure supporting that and the randomness that occurs in a given Week 17 is going to be what it is

    I combine best ball and DFS outcomes when stacking my fantasy season... The kiddos got another few hundred each towards their college on top of the other care and feeding i normally give to their 529s. That's my bellwether for a smash season. Thanks for the help!

      i'm glad to hear it! hard to not get the big 1st place hit but everyone's metrics of success are different and yours are much healthier!

    I forgot what team but I drafter against a badger that drafted drew lock. I think he was on Seattle last year. I'm in a rush, but you get my drift on your drift. Lol your 100 percent correct.... And, I'm ready to draft for next year. Couple weeks.. Lets Fuckin Go!!!!!!

    I think you can get your buddies in the same draft in DK and load a team up. DK doesn’t really throw out drafts. I know nobody wants to hear it, but it can be done.

    • @splashplaypod
      @splashplaypod  21 день тому

      idk about those DK streets but i really wouldn't sweat collusion that much. too much randomness even if you could pick your roster

    Had a lot of diaontae Johnson… who could have predicted that trade? Burried him and made Theilen huge..

    • @splashplaypod
      @splashplaypod  22 дні тому

      don't think that was the logic Thielen drafters had, for sure. though that's the same principle of contingent value I talked about
