Reply here if you are in for this week.
Most seemed ok either way with $5 or $10.

Someone mentioned starting at 5 and moving to 10 once the herd inevitably gets thinned later in the season and someone else mentioned having a lot of other week 1 action out there already so they wouldn't want to do $10 week 1.

So I say we do $5 for week 1 and see how many people we can get and then adjust from there.

Reply here if you are in this week. I need commitments by Thursday. We are only playing the Sunday/Monday games.
I'll need your DK user name or email to send the invites weekly. You can PM them to me if you would like.

I don't know. We'll see. We have 4 for this week already. The more the better but I think I'd be happy if we got 8-10 a week from here.

We keeping it to OC only? I might be able to get a few others. I would think if we did just $5 a week, I could get quite a few in some of my other leagues.

Keep it to OC.

I can join any random ass 50-50 on Sunday to play against strangers.

I agree. If your buddies want to join the OC and come into the threads and talk trash and whatnot, I'd be cool with that.

I'm surprised many of the typical gamblers aren't in. S&L, sportchampps, birddog, Mulva, etc. Pretty much everyone in our fantasy college bball league also is around for football. I guarantee we have a ton of people who play DFS, just not sure if only on Fan Duel or if they have not opened this thread.

Maybe just send a mass PM, haha.

I posted it in Pro Sports. Maybe I need to post it in Serious Business, too.

Who all was in the fantasy basketball league? I'll PM them all.

PM me your DK user name. I'll send invites out once we know how many are in. We were planning on $5 for Week 1. We now have 5.

I threw a post in Serious Business as a last ditch effort to get some interest. As of now, we have 5. If we don't get anymore...do we want to do a 5-man winner take all game or just say fuck it.

Are you able to view somebody's personal info on DK? If not, then I'm in. I don't need any assholes pulling a ccrunner debacle on me.

You can't see anybody's personal information. No names/emails...etc.

Just PM me your Draft Kings user name so I can send the invite to you. If you need to sign up...I posted a link on the other Draft Kings thread in this forum.

I'm guessing we aren't going to get any others but I'll wait until the end of the day.
If we get 6...do we want to do winner take all or pay top 2.

Splitting a whopping $30 is stupid, IMO.

Might as well go $10 since we won't be getting any newcomers. $60 pot winner take all.

Agreed. Winner take all it is unless we can get to 8. Plus...we will lose 3 bucks in juice so splitting 27.

Good with it regardless. Win once every 5.5 weeks and you break even.
