I play daily fantasy sports via Fanduel and Yahoo.
A buddy of mine who I've known for years invited me to play in his Friends group on Fanduel. 10 players, 5$ buy-in, winner takes all. In the 10 weeks of Football we've played I've won 6 of 10 (I didn't play in week 2).
I think I'm decent so for the past week I've been trying to help him with his NBA picks. Last Wednesday I sent him a lineup and after lineup lock a player on our team sat so we got a zero from him and just missed cashing. He wasn't happy and somehow it was my fault.
The next night I suggest a lineup and he asks "What about Jimmy Butler?" and I give my rationale for not picking him. We barely cash, Butler goes off for 40+ points and he responds with a snarky text "Great call on Butler".
Two days later I give him a cash lineup to help build his bankroll and he plays it in a large tournament, which is a no no. He doesn't win but I do. He's pissed.
I quadrupled my bankroll this past week and he's pissed so I'm done trying to help. I even took a dive this past Sunday in our league and created a team I knew couldn't win so because if I were to win, it would have been 3 weeks in a row. Fuck that. Now I'm out for blood.
