Do you do tourneys or 50/50s?

What's your record like?

I've just started doing NBA and have only been doing 50/50s and I/m at about a 75% success rate.

I do 50s with the LU that I post in here. I'll have a core and mix it up for some tourneys. And my success rate is probably around 55-65%. It's pretty difficult to get above that long term. That being said, I've been positive 6 of the past 8.

My strategy is much different in NBA than in NFL where I mostly do 50/50s. In NBA, it feels like I either win easily or are damn near at the bottom due to injuries/late scratches/blowouts so I tend to just enter 5-20 tourneys with a core lineup and then variations and I probably hit at least a few cashing lineups in tourneys every night. Occasionally I'll bust and win nothing, but then there are nights like last night that could more than pay for 10 straight losing nights.

This is what I'm starting to do but at a lesser level. There's a few nights every now and then I'll cash only in the 50/50s and not tourneys but tonight I'm just entering 2 tourney lineups into a tourney. I went a little different with my picks tonight so we will see. Could end up pretty bad.

My chalk plays tonight are Archie Goodwin, parsons, and kawhi

Blowouts killing me tonight

Yep same here. Had Kawhi, LMA, and Harden all rolling in most lineups.

I had kawhi and LMA. I don't know I guess my thinking was great matchup for kawhi and criminally underpriced LMA (ended up paying off). I knew it would be a blowout but I guess I thought they would be the reason it was a blowout (kinda like curry every night) so they'd still be great options. Then Phoenix getting their **** kicked in didn't help since I had Goodwin and booker who ended up playing 10 minutes less than I expected.

After the Spurs got their **** pushed in against GS, I thought they might be entering a mini-slump and it seemed like the Rockets had started playing better since the Josh Smith trade. Thought it would be a close game. Clearly, I misjudged that game script.

Ended up cashing in the tourney with both lineups. Thanks Klay, LMA, Drummond, jerami grant

Holiday
Clarkson
DeRozan
Harris
Casspi
Gallinardi
Anderson
WCS
Boogie

All of this hinges on Evans, Davis, and Lowry being out.

I'm counting on some Knicks and Pelicans big time in both lineups
Diet Cokehead

I think we all are. Holiday, Langston, Anderson and Thomas were almost all chalk plays.

If Derrick Williams goes off tonight then I would already be 350 +

Things looking really good tonight. I need Gasol to go off.

Same, in 918th in the $2 tourny with Butler still playing. Need Lakers to keep it reasonably close to Bulls starters still get minutes.

Damn I'm on fire lately. That's 4 nights in a row that I've at least tripled my money. But of course now that I said something.

Tonight made me sick because I would've made a ton if I wouldn't have switched out Dieng and Randle

Crappy night for me. All my studs performed and all my secondary players sucked ass.

Ridiculous money line tonight. 327 for me I broke 300 and not even close
Diet Cokehead

327 50/50 cash line?

I didn't play tonight, but that is crazy high.

Na I'm just playing tourneys these days because the 50/50 lines always seem like they're fairly close to tourneys. It also seemed like if I won I won everything and if I lost I lost everything.
