Cartman, who is willing to temporarily let her son off punishment for, Butters' parents (knowing who AWESOM-O really is, but thinking it is an elaborate game that Butters is in on) decide to let Cartman come along with Butters on a trip to to see his aunt.

Upon arriving, he is so hungry and worn out after wearing the suit for a whole airplane ride that he makes up an excuse to use the bathroom and proceeds to eat. During their visit to, two movie producers find out about the 'robot' and decide to hire him to create movie ideas.
Cartman, as the robot, comes up with over two thousand terrible, nonsensical film concepts (800 of which would star ), which the movie producers all find brilliant.

Im new to DFS and I don’t plan on betting a lot of money so I just played the quarter NFL GPPs. I put in 20 something total lineups today across a few slates totaling $6.50 and came out winning $13. I know it’s not huge but it felt good seeing my research and luck go a long way. Anyway, thanks for letting me share.
Hope you all had profitable days. Question for those still here. Any free sites you would recommend? Also thoughts on cash vs GPP? Is it best to have one that you excel at or is it best to diversify between the two? Congrats bro! That’s awesome!
Glad you had a good week too. This week my prep consisted of reading Mike Tagliere’s weekly primer on FantasyPros which includes Vegas lines, and then I also listen to the FFBallers podcast for my redraft league and their weekly DFS podcast.
Most of my lineups were made off my gut feelings about certain players then I went through and tinkered here and there throughout the week to increase my game exposure and player exposure. My initial set of lineups were probably too similar. Anyway, I’ll give your sources a look or two this week and see what I think. Thanks for the advice and feedback. Congrats dude! A win is a win and, as you say, it's good to see research pay off.
I've only been playing for a few weeks now for some fun but won my highest payouts last night. $105 win in total but my best was I entered a $27 beginner contest with 86 players. Finished 7th and won $80. Really pleased with that. My research over the last couple weeks has really been reading up on strategies between cash and gpp, browsing this subreddit and taking tips and pointers where I can see them, listening to The Fantasy Footballers DFS podcast and adding that to my general fantasy research/podcasts. Whether this week was a lucky one or I'm slowly learning and making better decisions.time will tell.
I won a $2 on a free play and worked it up to $29 today. Not much but I do this more fun and I love it. I also only play 1 lineup each week and sometimes play MNF or TNF.
Some advice that worked well for me: If you're going to enter a tournament, enter the one with the highest entries because a lot of people don't know what the fuck they're doing but see a $100k or $1m next to first place and they play. So instead instead of you having to get 170,000 out of 600,000 it's more like 170,000 out of 300,000-400,000. Also enter casual or experienced players excluded tournaments/cash games. Like I mentioned before, people don't know what the fuck they're doing so even if you're going up against 2 other people in a winner take all, there's a good chance one of them just enters a horrible lineup and you only have to beat the other dude and you'll get a little more cash.
Also follow guys like Evan Silva. His matchup column is a must read and you can find some sneaky plays. He also talks with guys on Rotogrinders and awesomo. I have played DFS for 3 years now and there is only one piece of advice that I feel is actually useful: If you're playing cash games, play head to heads instead of 50/50 and double-up. Not only that, but post your own H2H's.
So if you want to play $10 in cash games, don't play a $10 50/50, play 10 $1 head to heads that you post yourself. It's very tough to win all of them, but it's also tough to lose all of them, so your bankroll lasts longer and I do think the competition is a little bit weaker. It's really frustrating when you do all the research to find the best plays and then 80% of the 50/50 field has that play and it hardly even matters.
GPP's are crap shoots man I stay away. The main problem is how heavily the money is concentrated at the top few spots. You can put up a monster score and only get 3x return.
I much prefer the sub-300 entry 'contests' on DK, where you actually have a reasonable chance to win it. I also think the sub-10 man contests are the most fun just because you can follow along and kinda know who everybody has, makes it more fun. As for GPP strategy, the only thing I can say is that correlation plays/stacks are a great way to go. Play a RB with his team's defense, play a QB-WR stacks with a WR on the other team to 'run it back' as they say - those 3 plays will often go off together. Stuff like that. .
RG's has pretty solid RG projections as well as fantasy six pack. I prefer GPP personally. I tend to break even at worst.
I only play GPP now. I used to play cash but just never had success. All my big wins have come off of GPP. That being said, the one piece of advice I'd give you is stick to the same bank roll system. Find a% you're suitable with and stick to it.
Win or lose, don't change it. And if you do, only a small%. Good luck, I remember the days of playing small amounts and being happy you made a profit no matter how small. Biggest tip I can ever give to new players, ALWAYS enter cash lineups into a tournament too. Even if you put them into just a $0.25 or $1 tournament, always do it.
When I first started I was playing NBA cash games and would do $9 in cash games and a $1 tournament everyday. Well, one day the $2 double ups were filled, and $5 were open, so I just did 2 $5 double ups and didn’t enter a tournament.
That cash lineup scored 397 and would’ve won the $1 tournament I normally enter, which would’ve been $2000.
