I won 6 entries and paid $3 for each lol. I had zero guys miss the cut, but my best is in 558th place, it got as high as 210, then dropped. I just like to hear how everyone is doing and hopefully one of us will get some big money. Here is my best...

Casey T19
Fowler T1
Sergio T1
Rahm T6
Scott T10
Westwood T19

I am pretty sure unless I have 1-6 I won't win a million unless Westwood were to be 1, but still hoping with no cuts I can get some decent money. I am Rory, Casey, Leishman, Fowler and Rose heavy. My lowest % guys are Wiesberger 3.5%, Scott 11% and Westwood 11.3%. Hope to hear some good lineups.

I'm in top 10% at the moment ...winning $50...but have a Missed Cut Guy. (Noren).

I only had one entry.
Should have done 5 or 6.

I only took one $33 entry...I am in the crapper as none of my players is under par and one misses cut.....Extremely hard to win if you have cut players.......I still have a few live $3 entries....Might break even this week if I get a little lucky....

Cool, yeah you can still win something with a cut guy. It kind of depends on the % on the guys you have left. If everyone else has them, it will be hard to move up. If I had to pay $33 for each entry, I would have had very few. I played in the $3 contests leading up to the tournament. I think I spent $60 and won 6. I threw some on a few other $4 and $3 contests. GL guys. Hopefully we got someone high up we can pull for.

Decided to take a flyer on the new "weekend golf" now newly offered on DK.....Got into the $4 event. .... Only took one entry to try it out to see how it goes.....  ....Seems obvious the chances of ties increases dramatically as the field has been so thinned by the cut line...

More offers to play will certainly add to the DK bottom line....They take 15% vig out of each contest....Has to be one of the most profitable ventures ever in recorded history....

Yeah I saw that. Fanduel started a similar thing when they started offering golf a few weeks back. The only difference is you have to pick all your guys pre-tourney and hope they make the cut to give you points for the weekend. I like DK's version a little better. They gave a free entry into that contest and I just left the same lineup in there. The scoring being everything except place of finish is interesting as well. GL I might grab another entry since they are $4.

It's actually not a great venture.  Here's a great article from 2016 about draftkings.  It's a long article, but it's a great read about daily fantasy.  They spent tons of money on advertising to give themselves a big push, and they didn't realize that growing big too quick has a lot of downside.  They brought a lot of attention from law authorities to their business which caused lawyers and lobbying fees to skyrocket.  Then they gave special deals to the high-rollers which allowed those high-rollers to use special software to make perfect lineups, and thousands of lineups against rookies.  It pushed a lot of new customers away, and they were left scrambling.  

I stopped playing football, basketball, and nascar when I realized there were more "bots" lineups than human lineups.  I only play golf, and not for very much money.  It's a dirty business, only meant for fun.  Unless you're a high stakes player with a huge bankroll who gets to use their special software, you're just donating money.

only have a few linups but my main one is entered into a lot of GPP's and 10 H2H cash games ($5, 10, and 20) and I am cashing and winning each H2H at the moment. 

Hoping for a big weekend. Cashing $50 in the milli at the moment.

Fowler (-4)
Rahm (-1)
Fowler (+1)
Kjeldsen (+1)
Casey (+3)
Leishman (+3)

All my guys can be scorers at times except for maybe Kjeldsen but he's steady and wouldn't be surprised if he ends up Top 10. Actually have a future on him ending Top 10.

Good luck to all this wekened.

I'm already looking forward to next week....Really made a bunch of bad picks this week , it happens,,, a lot...as you know.....I basically have cut players on most of my DK teams....Move on and forget the loss.....Lots more tourneys ahead--- a whole summer and spring to go....Sooner or later the odds say you get it right one week....maybe?

Yeah that's true. I have won a few smaller tournaments, most I have won was a grand. I came in 2nd and 3rd on a few. I got all excited earlier when my total went to $1,288 I am sitting at $231 now. I think Leishman, Wiesberger and Mickelson falling apart today killed me. Hoping for a good final round, but most of the time, alot of my guys fade the final day. Maybe they did their fading today and will kill it tomorrow. GL

My biggest win is a modest $75....I only started doing fantasy betting at DK last August so I still have a long way to go ....Been terrible at the baskets--and -baseball contests   ----tried the Nascar races once or twice ---tried the MMMA once ----NOT anywhere near solvency for me in any of those games..........HOWever..it seems...I can "hold my own" when I bet golf.......Been getting a lot of smaller  $5---$8----$12  winning teams to keep me in the game...

Good luck tomorrow...

Ain't it a coincidence ...I had one of your losers ( Leishman ) placed on a few of my teams.....He killed at least 3-4 of my teams this week...
