There was some discussion on the pga tour thread on DK over the last few weeks so I said I'd set up a thread on it. Ramblings on strategy, weekly updates or whatever!

I'd normally enter around 4 teams each week. Maybe 2 in the $20 contests and 2 in the $5/$3 contests. No real strategy per se, just go on gut feeling and would have a read of what some of the tipsters on twitter have to say (Ben coley, Niall Lyons, Steve Rawlings and a few more).

Haven't had any big wins to date, probably down a small amount since I started approx 2 years ago (my NBA returns have been even worse although for some reason I've fared better in NFL contests). Will probably pick a week where I go all out with 20+ teams, albeit too busy in work at the moment to allow the time for it this week.

I used to listen to listen to the fantasy golf mailbag but that's gone now since a few weeks ago. I know Pat Mayo has his podcast but I just can't listen to him. Any other good podcasts out there?

As an aside has anyone subscribed to Mike Millar's (smartbetgolf) new subscription service? Used to find his weekly tournament sheets very handy so I probably will stump up for it soon.

"I have 20 teams in a $3 $300k GTD"
I didnt get what the GTD is.
If its "Guaranteed" i still dont understand how that works!!

Just means that the prizepool is guaranteed to be $300k regardless of whether the contests fills up or not. They will be obliged to cover the extra if somehow it's short of entrants, I have yet to see it happen though .

Some other constests, mainly big buy ins don't be guaranteed, like there is a 4 man contest that's $25k to enter with the winner getting $100k, but if that doesn't fill up it won't run, they are not guaranteeing the $100k prize.

Threw 5 in the $3 and just one in the Milly, would usually throw a few more darts in the latter. Liking DJ, bubba, kokrak & Smith.

3 on Paddy Power? Is that bets or do they have some sort of fantasy that I'm oblivious to?

Ya they have a pretty bug fantasy place, not near DK tbf but decent golf ones most weekend, and if your into NFL a 4.44 buck milly maker every week

Main this week for golf was a 15 with 200,000k euro up top

Threw one team in there after seeing your post. Hideki, Wolff, day, woodland, burns & Ortiz. Similar to yourself!

Any of ye do the fantasy race to Dubai? Put a team in for the craic, long time since I entered it. Not sure if the Irish times will resurrect their fantasy game, really hope they do.

Alright lads, still chipping away myself, have 5 teams in total, I'm in the $15 Mayo experience, team started ok, but I stacked it well with players playing the easier NC, so we will see how it goes today.

As an aside I entered the 'Race for the Mayo Cup' its a season long One & Done competition, I'm liking the format and glad to get stuck into something that's long term, anyone else playing it?

Have 6 teams in myself, total outlay of about $60, see if any of them are going well over the weekend, I have Palmer in 3 teams myself , good cheap option I thought.

CMcsporty

Ryan Palmer doing Ryan Palmer things yesterday - DB on his last hole yesterday (9th)
Even Wolff managed to Par the 9th! His last hole yest. WD today.

Picked a dummy team this week as there wasn't much space left and I wanted to get it in before it filled up. Had planned to go back and change but completely forgot so I effectively ended up with a lucky dip. Lucky bring the wrong word, Bryson was one of the picks!

CMcsporty

But you luckily avoided Wolff and Cantlay!!

$61 invested, $55 return! Almost break even is pretty much winning at this game! Will be doing somthing similar again this week.

CMcsporty

Ended up with Reed, Im, Molinari, An, Kirk, Wallace

Asking allot to get An, Kirk & Wallace to make cut.
Hoping they can make some putts this wk.

CMcsporty

An, Kirk & Wallace all made the cut...Molinari & Reed did not!!

Going to spin the wheel again on Molinari & Kirk.

How much have you got?

Dahmen 6.4, Gooch, Noren 6.6 are ok options potentially, Schwartzel 6.8 if you have that much

You might want to lose one of your 3 big names though serious value in the 7m range, Conners, Ancer, Bradley, Hoffman, Burns, Leishman etc, spoilt for choice tbh

Potential Underachiever

Just punched in your team actually and see you have 6.4m to spare, yeah not much down that low, I'd go a bit more balanced if I was you!
