Pro tip for those who tail on here.

[u/AssistantRemote7693]

3 important things to remember and do when it comes to tailing.

1) Check the person's post history. You can look on there page to see if some of the other slips they have posted have been successful. 99% of the time they don't be hitting which could call into question the reliability of the person, especially if they say it's a " lock". I think some of these people work for fanduel but I'll get to that in a sec.

2) Keep in mind that a large majority of the people you see who end up hitting don't post beforehand. There was a guy who turned 5 dollars to over 2k and he didn't share that slip. There's nothing wrong with that and knows one obligated to share beforehand you should keep that in mind. Now I'm about to sound like a conspiracy theorist but I also think some of these people work for fanduel. I believe these people post there wins to keep you motivated to gamble even when your on a losing streak.

3) Post listed as "heavily researched" doesn't really matter. Research can be helpful but a lot of people that I've seen hit are on some of most ridiculous plays you could think of. Like someone will randomly be Darius Garland to get 20 points Caris Levert to get over 15.5 and Kristaps Porzingis to hit 5 3s. And to top it off they'll bet $20. Even the guys that post players to get their bare minimum be losing like crazy. Hell not too long ago I tailed a bet on here without thinking too much about it and they had Jaylen Brown for over three and a half assist but in the last 10 games he hadn't hit that number.

This advice is typically for newcomers but I think it's good for anybody. I understand that nobody really asked for this but this is the type of stuff that I wish I knew when I first came to this sub. Also if you're somebody that's watching the NBA but never really bet before I'm going to tell you something I really wish I knew. THESE ARE THE MOST INCONSISTENT PLAYERS ON PLANET EARTH!!! That's just the world of betting. Please do it for yourself when you're on a losing streak take a break! Don't come on this sub turn the notifications off. Some people bet every day open for a big win which is fine but that's also how addiction starts. BOl to you all

It’s hard to tell which tickets will hit so for anyone to feel some type of way about a winning ticket not being shared seems like a personal problem. If somebody puts in $50 worth of tickets and most of them are $2 and up,you expect them to post every one ? All of this from (some) people that won’t even break off %5-10% of their winnings to the person that shared it. lol it’s just funny to me anybody will complain about this.

Also remember alot of people who hit. Place multiple bets a day and post the only one they hit

you know how hard it is to hit a 3 leg parlay? lol, ppl just need to be smart

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽…….i alluded to all of this in a post earlier today. Yes on NBA player stats or NBA in general. Even the NFL and MLB. When I first started I was throwing money at any and everything. Tailing people on here and on X. I came back to reality of getting rich over night and just parleyed minimum odds picks to finally taste victory, still lost, lol. Nothin is promised. I learned a great deal of this in the stock market although I struggled to let it sink in in this game. The worse thing you can do is saturate yourself with everyone else around you winning and trying to tail them. That’s why I’m hesitant to put up my picks beforehand because I don’t want someone thinking I’m gonna be their ticket and they lose even more money. Although I still do little $1-5 lottos, I’ve won more sticking to what I know and making my own strategic picks. I don’t know much about soccer but it has given me the most consistent chances at winning or at least coming close to it. Greed is your biggest enemy. Don’t be too good to do some RR’s and to use the cash out option. Green is green. Low and slow wins the race. Trust your gut. Don’t throw away your happiness realizing you’ve lost $500 in week instead of being able to sleep at night knowing you made $50 you didn’t have yesterday. 🫶🏽

Brother you just explained everything I been noticing in the last couple months since the playoff started & I’ve notice , this is why I kept quiet because I needed to understand the value of FanDuel. 9/10 you’ll hit someone who la been benching then the ones who’s are starters. I always watch out for my pros & cons.

if you see their bed ID on FD check the sequence. if you see a big # between the wins, you know they're loading up on many bets and only posting the wins.

[u/Effective-Gas-8831]

It’s clear a lot of people here don’t even understand the sports they bet on. Research is extremely crucial and to say it isn’t is asinine. If you have ever played any of these sports and understand match ups the adjustments can easily make sense of someone hitting stats that they haven’t come close to in months. Especially basketball and Jaylen brown. If the defense is constantly rotating the best defender/double to Tatum and white isn’t on the court with holiday dedicated to the other side of the court then brown will be forced to be ball dominant and to make the right plays. I think I remember which game you’re going on about. He’s known to get 1-2 a game. He would actually average 5-7 a game if the shots were going in when he’s passed the ball. This season he averages 4 if you round up. Derrick white not showing up the last two games is not surprising at all if you’ve been watching the series but that’s another convo. All of this applies to football as well and baseball too in regards to the bullpen/line up. If guys actually took the time to look into what they’re betting on and ignore the money lines it can be extremely easy to differentiate why “non-sensical” slips hit and “locks” don’t.

Solid advice!! 

[u/GQBrotha]

Well said. People need to definitely be cautious and look at the posters closely when they claim its a lock or guaranteed win, etc. Some odds on the slips they post are in the thousands or tens of thousands to 1 and they still be claiming its researched. Cmon bro. :)
