PLayed around with Draft kings off an on in the past year. Cashed out $25 and put it into this one.
With the Exchange rate change I actually came out ahead by a couple bucks. Put $25 in last season and pulled out $30 USD this year.

The coles notes is that the people associated with Fanduel and Draft Kings use insider knowledge to rig the big pools in their favour.
But if you're keeping to the little pools, it's a one-day salary draft. Build a roster that fits your cap, score more fantasy points than people like me - it's not that hard - and win a couple dollars.

I will aim for once a week. No less, possibly more.  Wait... 
I mean... 
I am coming out of retirement.
Umm...  I'm putting you guys down on the emergency contact form under "enablers". 
Coles notes:
Max 4 players from a team.
Stay under salary cap.
- Choose 2 players of the following positions playing that night: LW/RW/C/D
- Grab a goalie
Stat watch, swear at players under performing for you, or just check at the end of the night to see the pool result.
TLDR; it's like bingo, but you create your own bingo sheet based on site rules.

T'was a terrible night to have both top line Kings and Flames players.

Yeah. As long as a guy keeps in mind that it pretty much comes down to luck, and he plays smart but think think he is the smartest guy in the room, then it probably evens out in the end. Next game they would be the right picks.
If Pacioretty doesn't score the empty netter, I probably get no money back. It's that random.

Ha. That's sort of the good part though. With any luck, a guy can play for a long time on a small stake. And maybe hit a bigger one along the way.
It's fun to play as long as you don't keep having to pay.

True. I'm just mad for no reason because I watched a slide of 4-5 points due to +/- and was out by .1. Whatever, it's only $2 on a double up. But like you said, it's random.

I also play on Sports Interaction betting small amounts $2-$5 on NFL mostly.
I mostly do it for the fun of being more invested in games that are not my team. The goal as Eldrick mentioned is to play for a long time on a small stake.

Yeah. I am not a fan of the +/-
Fanduel scores it, Draftkings doesn't.
Oh well - tonight we play again lol.

I definitely am not in the money tonight.
Serves me right for picking Talbot.
For shame.
Only 0.1 separates 1st and 2nd.
Good luck!!!
