Last week we were short again so it turned into a free game. There’s still 4 spots left for today contest. If we don’t fill, next week I will probably reduce to 4 positions instead of 5 in an attempt to avoid free games. Free games suck.

If that's all there is, consistently, better to fill it up for sure and just up the entry a couple bucks to make it worthwhile.

The reason I don’t want to go lower than 5 is because Fanduel will cover the 5th spot. They will cover any contest that is 80% full which means free money. But I’m good with whatever going forward.

I'd put it up for a vote on the $5. I'd do it. Money isn't anything to sneeze at but i'd rather have $20 up for grabs than $8-10. If it's a "no", i'm still good to play for the funzies.

We kept it low to encourage participation. What does everyone think of a $5 entry going forward? Of course it would have to be unanimous because we can afford to lose anybody.

I'm fine with wasting $2/week on a fun game among friends. My worry is that if we take the pot up a bit, we'll encourage dudes using enhanced assistance to pick their teams.
In other words, I like playing for fun against others just picking teams using their own wit, rather than guys plugging in picks supplied from an algorithm or subscription service. Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations -Frank Booth 1/9/23

As far a algorithms go though, you should not fear them. As someone who has ran thousands of them, they are only effective when you play them in mass quantities, like say 50-100 different rosters (which I have done frequently). They are for those with big money to spend (well, I would play 100 rosters in the nickel entry games, so not really big money). 90% of the time I would break even. It’s all about that lucky sleeper pick or two hitting big numbers.

It’s all about that lucky sleeper pick or two hitting big numbers. That's the thing with me. I just get on there and roll with whoever looks good that day. I don't do any of that multiple lineup, algorithm, guru stuff. Just pick and roll. That's pretty much why, for me, it's no different than attempting to win the lottery.
