The Denver - San Diego game just ended, but does a junkie wait for contests to officially close at Fantasy Sports Live before calculating results? I think NOT.
Wow. What a wild week for scoring. There were some HUGE numbers posted - in one six player contest I put up 149.7 points ... and came in fifth!
I kept entering contests right to the deadline, ending up with 24 plus the Blogger Battle TOC. It ended up not being a good week, as I made two critical errors: Taking Rivers over Brees in most contests (I had them rated quite closely and expected more out of the Carolina D) and being too lazy to sub in the New England D for the Atlanta D (same point cost) after seeing the weather in the NE/BUF game. I took the New England D in contests I entered this morning, but didn't go back. Thatdecision laziness cost me 15 points and a bunch of cash.
I finished second in the BB TOC - congrats to Joe Speaker who put up a huge 142.2. Al Can't Hang came in a close third. I have no idea how the overall series will shake out, as I was outpointed by both Kev (who I think has no blog and thus is ineligible for the bonus cash) and Buffalo66, but it wasn't by a ton. We shall see. I do not include bonus stuff in my results. Thanks FSL and Blinders for an enjoyable series.
I fared exceptionally poorly in 10 player contests, bubbled twice in the six players and crushed the heads up. Weird.
Sunday results: 24 contests entered (10 - 10 player, 7 - 6 player, 7 - HU); 12 cashes (3, 3, 6); total risked: $85.50; total won: $87.00; net: +$1.50; ROI +1.8% (LOL)
If it holds up, I'll take the win. {Edit: Yup, figured correctly.} I think this is probably as much as I've risked in a single week - bankroll management standards were relaxed given that (a) it was Week 17 and (b) I thought I had better than usual picks. I will definitely scale back for the playoffs - it's harder to find an edge when there are so few games going - and will probably ramp up NBA play a bit going forward, at least until I decide if I can win playing basketball.
