Sorry I've been a bit inactive on Steemit this week, but have been extremely busy with the first week of NFL. Just wanted to give an update on the buyins I'm playing across all the sites, and how things have started so far.

Draftkings

Golf

I put $15k in play for Golf and should profit at least $5000. Right now I'm up $4500 and I have a bunch of players still on the course who can rack up points.

I played two cash game lineups that I put in most of the big contests, then 10 more tournament lineups, rotating through the players I liked, spreading out my ownerships around 15 core players.

Football

I put a little over $42k in play for Draftkings NFL and things started well there, but I have a lot of players left and everything could change quickly.

Thursday NFL

I ran one main cash game lineup, one big tournament lineup, and then 4 other tournament lineups. Luckily my two biggest teams are doing well, and I have one tournament lineup that is doing extremely well and could win some big field stuff.

Sunday NFL

I have 3 cash game teams for the 1 EST NFL games. The top left and top right are for the main 13 game slate (I only varied the defense not wanting to get buried based on one team performing below expectation), and the top middle is for the 1 PM EST slate only.

The bottom middle and bottom right lineups are for the afternoon slate games, and the other lineups with 16-19 entries I threw in about $650 worth of tournament buyins each.

Fanduel

I have $36.5k in play for NFL on fanduel this week across 16 lineups and 6 slates (thursday, main, sunday only, 1pm only, 4pm only, afternoon)

I decided to not play as much Spencer Ware on Fanduel because I have him on every slate on every other site and his price is relatively worse on Fanduel. He crushed, and now I wish I had him here too, but I should be ok because my other players are doing well so far.

Yahoo

I have another $15k in play on Yahoo. I split up my lineups between more Dak Prescott and some Aaron Rodgers lineups because he was underpriced there. Yahoo is too early to tell because everyone has a lot of players left.

Fantasy Draft

I have about $7k in buyins on Fantasydraft and my main opponent is Condia and he is drawing dead against my lineup so I am already assured a win there.

Fantasyaces

I couldn't find a page that lists my total buyins, but I have about $6600 in play there across 4 lineups in 256 total contests. Luckily I have Vikings Defense in my biggest lineup, but everyone has a lot of players remaining here too.

Overall

Overall I have $123,133.75 in play across two sports on 5 sites and 6,882 total contests. That takes a long time to register, organize, and prepare for, so you can see why my steemit blogging and commenting time has reduced this week. Most NFL weeks will be this much work and this much invested, but at least during football season I get more time off on Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday. When basketball starts, I'll try to check in once a week, but I won't have much spare time unfortunately.

It is a very large amount of money, but as a professional gambler I have learned to ignore the amount in play and focus only on my approach.

I also treat different forms of gambling differently. I play very big in DFS because I am one of the best players in the world. When I play poker nowadays, I may only have $1500 in play at any given time because I am no longer among the very best in the world and need to play smaller. When I trade cryptocurrencies, I maybe trade a bitcoin at a time because I am still learning and don't want to risk that much. When I sports bet, my average betsize is maybe $250 per bet because I feel less confident there. I play as big as my skill level allows in each area and focus more on the process than the actual results.

That said, let's hope the results go well and week 1 doesn't sting me! Anyone else play much DFS this week? What did your teams look like?
