Was worth a shot...

Thig Lyves Matter

The Chiefs have sucked ass since Thig was banned.

Exhibit A on why hootie should be reinstated. This is the kind of crap that passes for humor around here when the clever posters get run off.

Since Phobia is MIA can we get Chris616 back then? He was nuked from his CP existence. It's been nearly two years and we need some fresh conspiracy material around here. TIA.

Yeah, the losses are a sunk cost at this point. It sounds like this may be the first week where you can try to fulfill the original purpose of the group, so you should look at whatever you have now as the real starting point and see where your group can go from there.

Obviously I didn't participate because I think those sites are a scam, but to play devil's advocate:

The idea was just as much about time as it was money. The sharks have all the time in the world to analyst data and enter an insane amount of lineups. The people here have 1) jobs and 2) a CP addiction taking up their days. Its kind of like the Seinfeld episode where Jerry and George team up to run the errands of a high-maintenance woman - neither had the time to get it all done on their own, but it was reasonable when working together.

You can't fault people for trying something seeing as how it didn't clear anyone out. I doubt anyone was going to quit their job and pony up thousands of dollars to try it.

Its not a binary thing where you either are the math genius with propriety software, or you are the lone dope turning in 2 lineups.

There is a ton of dumb money in these sites, maybe their group won't be the biggest sharks, but maybe they can be smarter than most of the fish and do better than break even.

I'm sure we will be happy if we just make some of the money back and have a good time till the rest of the season and if somewhere along the way we hit a decent pot, we will be ecstatic.

I'll just be happy if we can make the whole season and learn how to do this.

I just wish I could see the process during the games as being in Montana, I can't log in and watch so I have to kind of imagine how it's working.

I'm in on making line-ups and will be the first admit I'm no shark,I've done okay at FD based on the $1-$5 tourney entries I do.This experiment gave me the opportunity to get in on the $25 game thus being a part of more entries into one tournament at higher stakes.

Personally,I'm still convinced the lower priced entries and unique games i.e. Primetime only are the way to go to build bankroll but as any experiment we shall see.

What does "clever posters" have to do with TGHootie?

-$3100

The first week, yeah - we lost $3100.

Last week, we won $600 of that back, and would have made a lot more back if there hadn't been the hard on for Seattle's defense and getting ignored when Lamar Miller was suggested over Denard Robinson.

You only need one lineup to hit, and IIRC, we were less than 20 points away from the Million dollar winner.

Not saying we're going to win, just saying that with proper preparation, it helps the odds.

Oh yeah, forgot about the Denard Robinson mancrush too. Jesus he is an idiot.

I still believe Chris616 was a mod mult. Think about it, everyone else just gets banned...he was completely erased from the site for a reason. No way in hell that guy was real.

You're telling me that Denard Robinson was used over Lamar Miller?? Ouch.

Do you + Hoots have a thing going? Romantically?

Fan Duel took in $272 MILLION last week. Paid out $65 MILLION. Thats some handsome profits.

I can't believe you guys are airing out the numbers. So much for Fight Club.:shrug:

It's already out there. And the main reason that rule was created was regarding lineups. Seeing as how the drama has been removed from the group, I don't see future info being shared.

With that said, I'm done. If these guys want to know what's happening, they should have bought in.

Prison Bitch and gay innuendo go together like peanut butter and jelly

I appreciate the work you guys are about to undertake and agree that they should have bought in if they wanted to know the details. Have a great evening.

Yep, Hootie violated the Fight club rule, we had to explain the fan Duel stuff because he got banned. Lets put the fight club rule back in place.

Nuke the thread from orbit...it's the only way to be sure.:D

We were already told by a mod that Chris616 was a mult. They wouldn't say who it was, though.

Don't care. The act was brilliantly entertaining.

One of the mods, think it was Bwana, recently confirmed it was another mod's mult. My guess is Phobia, that would be right up his alley to do something like that.

Yeah, I'm not talking shit at all. Just confirming MTG's thought that it wasn't a real person.

Well, he should make another appearance.

I don't believe this will hold if you guys go on a tear and end the season in the black. If there are no more updates, everyone will just assume you guys lost a ton of money and continue to laugh about it, so I think the temptation to brag will be too high.

And paid out another $200 million in marketing.

They need more competition. The competition internationally for internet gambling and internet poker is ruthless to the point where the house edge became very reasonable and low.

Meh, I thought it was a lame mult. I largely ignored it.

Here's an expert at mults in action right here:

Well, except for the part where he forgot to log in under the mult anyway...

I never saw that one.

B**KING BRILLIANT!

Oh, my. That was fabulous.

I just repped an almost decade old post.

Too soon?

I don't know why, but that was hilarious.

****in place ain't been the same since lassie left.
