So, it's been pretty brutal the last few days.. Really trying to isolate my mistakes, figure out where I missed, etc.
Last night (11/7/16) I ran with this lineup.

(bare with me until I figure out how to upload pictures on this shit.. frustrating..)
I was in decent shape to at least min cash with the way Blake Griffin started off, however, they pulled about a 30point lead and essentially kept him on the bench, only getting 28 minutes. That kinda blows... So from what looked to be at least somewhat profitable, it became another losing night. I'm not really doing anything excessive now as far as entry amount, only playing with a few bucks a night until I narrow down on what I would think is a profitable strategy.
Combining a Huge Usage w/ a good matchup is about as in-depth as my research goes. I also look players for value by looking through all injuries, and what player('s) benefits most from that. I haven't really been paying attention to o/u's or spreads or anything like that (possible mistake?)...
I'm really looking at more less becoming a Cash game/Double Up and possible Tripleup player on a regular basis... I'm certain with the current approach I have however, this isn't going to happen.. I'm bubbling GPP's on a nightly basis, and I don't think that's going to be enough to get me profiting in Cash games.
I am going to continue looking for any trends that I find useful.. I honestly wish I was better at math, I feel like its a leak in my game for sure.. Like poker, making the best mathematical choices over the long-term will prove to be the most profitable. Plan on getting a little more involved on this approach to the game and see where it takes me.
If anyone is starting off, or would like to share information/strategy, or just lend a helping hand, its all much appreciated!! I also do NFL, and have about the same success (Gpps mainly, not really cash, but have been considering it)..
Best of luck everyone.
