The weekend of football proved hair-pullingly frustrating for DFS users who couldn’t follow live scoring for their contests, and who are still waiting for payouts on Monday – up to two days after some contests ended. Neither DraftKings nor FanDuel offered live scoring for college football contests on Saturday. DraftKings […]
The longest confirmed undefeated streak in the history of elite chess came to an end when Magnus Carlsen lost a classical game at Norway Chess on Saturday. It was Jan-Krzysztof Duda who did the deed, beating Carlsen with White in the fifth round of the Altibox Norway Chess event. Duda […]
Magnus Carlsen is asserting himself at Norway Chess, taking the tournament lead after defeating his closest rival, Fabiano Caruana, in the fourth round of the super tournament. Carlsen now leads Norway Chess on nine points, with Levon Aronian just one point back, while Caruana and Alireza Firouzja sit just two […]
Week 5 of the NFL season looks to be one of the most dynamic of the season for value plays under $5,000 on DraftKings. We can roster a super-cheap quarterback, running backs capable of rushing for 100 yards, and a receiver who can go off on any given week. Here […]
Week 6 of college football DFS provides us with the likely high-scoring affair between Texas and Oklahoma in the Red River Shootout, and an expected team total of 49 points for BYU against the University of Texas-San Antonio. You can expect the core components of those offenses to be highly […]
After just three rounds of play, Norway Chess has already turned into a four-horse race. Both Jan-Krzysztof Duda and Aryan Tari have yet to score, while the rest of the field is separated by just 1.5 points. Fabiano Caruana still holds a share of the lead, which makes me feel […]
The PGA Tour heads to the famed TPC Summerlin in Las Vegas for the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open, a staple on the schedule for nearly 30 years. After a couple of dull weeks without many stars, eight of the top-20 golfers in the world will play here this week. […]
The LA Chargers lost running back Austin Ekeler to a hamstring injury in Week 4, which is why you should add his backup if you have a thin bench. You might also consider adding TE Robert Tonyan, RB Justin Jackson, TE Dalton Schultz, WR Tre’quan Smith, or QB Justin Herbert […]
Fabiano Caruana and Alireza Firouzja both won classical games with Black in the first round to take the early lead in the Altibox Norway Chess tournament on Monday. World Champion Magnus Carlsen also picked up a victory with Black, but needed an Armageddon game to get past Levon Aronian after […]
Live chess is back! Norway Chess begins on Monday, and the return to over-the-board action means no more disconnects, no more mouse slips, and maybe fewer disqualifications due to computer cheating. Most importantly, it means more chances for us to bet on chess. And after going with the chalk last […]
If you want to play Lamar Jackson or Dalvin Cook this week, you’ll need to dig deeper into the salary pool in other roster spots to afford the high-priced guys. As always, I’m here to help with five cheap DFS plays under $5,000 on DraftKings. Let’s dig in. Myles Gaskin, […]
Week 5 of college football DFS offers up a 14-game slate on FanDuel (13 on DraftKings), but the smart play may be to ignore most of the games and listen to what Vegas has to say. Oddsmakers seem to think the Memphis-SMU and Texas Tech-Kansas State games will be close […]
The PGA Tour heads to the farm this week. Specifically, the Sanderson Farms Championship at the Country Club of Jackson in Mississippi. The par 72 course will play at 7,421 yards and only a handful of the world’s best players will attend so, like last week, we’ll see inflated DFS […]
The Philadelphia Eagles suffered a huge bad beat when they lost tight end Dallas Goedert indefinitely with an ankle injury. With Goedert down, consider adding Jimmy Graham (Chicago Bears), Mike Geisicki (Miami Dolphins), or Eric Ebron (Pittsburgh Steelers) if you need a fantasy football TE. In essentially nine quarters of […]
How will President Trump and Joe Biden greet, who will hone in on China, and will they discuss Bernie Sanders? These are among the questions proposed by DraftKings in the DFS operator’s free-play contest for tonight’s presidential debate. The contest features a $50,000 prize pool, with $5,000 going to first […]
If your NFL fantasy football team needs help after three weeks of action, you’d better work the waiver wire to plug those holes in your roster. Consider Myles Gaskin (Miami Dolphins), Carlos Hyde (Seattle Seahawks), rookie Justin Jefferson (Minnesota Vikings), or Allen Lazard (Green Bay Packers) as potential Week 4 […]
World Chess Champion Magnus Carlsen comes into the Banter Series final as a significant favorite over Wesley So, but the Norwegian still offers value for bettors if the price is right. The grandmasters will meet in the final on Tuesday, with the winner taking home a $12,000 top prize. Carlsen […]
The Saturday night DFS slate is small, but mighty. Miami-Florida State and Alabama-Missouri should offer plenty of high-scoring DFS totals, but other games offer players with sneaky good values for low salaries. Consider these six players for your rosters this week. Quarterbacks  D’Eriq King, Miami ($8,700 on DraftKings, $10,200 on […]
We can roster the Jets’ QB Sam Darnold for $5,000 on DraftKings this week, but I’ll say no thanks to that. Instead – like we did last week – we’ll focus on running backs, wide receivers, and tight ends for our under $5K DFS value plays. Josh Kelley, Chargers RB […]
The SEC returns to play this Saturday, but for DFS purposes on the day slate, I’ll mostly focus on the Big 12. Oddsmakers predict big scores from teams like Oklahoma and Texas, so we want to draft several players from these squads. Quarterbacks Sam Ehlinger, Texas ($8,900 on DK, $10,800 […]
