Raiders will you have entries in Circa's contests?
Not this one. I've been in the Stations years ago when family lived there. Sorry for clogging your thread since I use to put in a lot of entries in DFS overlays. I was just replying to Bob's attacks because his math is flawed.Raiders will you have entries in Circa's contests?
I said take the overlay and it is an interesting thread. The math isn't difficult at all. But my point was getting more entries in is better even if you lose equity. Bob went on a rampage of attacks. If you have a .0016% chance of winning, increase your chances of winning even if you lose equity in this contest.No problem. Obviously, I agree with Bob regarding this discussion, but he has the greater math power to do the heavy lifting.
I'll gladly take any overlay I can get entering contests with guaranteed payouts.
Since overlay is front and center right now in this thread, I have an interesting prop for a sportsbook to offer...total # of Circa Survivor "no pick" entries week 1?
34.5 seems like a reasonable # with 6,000 entries.

Overlays really don't mean much unless you're putting in 1,000 entries. Then you look for overlays but not 1 entry when there are 5000 others.
Your post doesn't make any sense to me but ok.
I said overlays don't mean much when you put in 1 play and the odds of winning are .0016%. You selectively looked at my posts. You think 1 play is better than 10 because you lose equity. I'll take the 10x chance of winning. Let it go already.Bullshit, you said overlays don't mean much. Three entries (up to 3 allowed) give you essentially the same percentage advantage as 1 so it's just an issue of bankroll management and having a strategy of potentially different picks on each card.

Stop trying to prove you're the smartest man in the room. I just said that overlays aren't all that important if you only put in 1 play. You need to greatly increase your chances of winning and you disagreed.The Million IV prizes are distributed fairly broadly. including large quarterly awards. You don't have to win 1st place to cash. Certainly, with a large projected overlay, it is +EV unless you don't submit your picks. An actual EV calculation is complicated and depends on capping, to some degree game theory, as well as the overlay.
Even though irrelevant to the Millon Contest, the 2 previous Circa Survivors had winning percentages of 2.52% (35 of 1390 entries, 19-0 record) and 0.12% (5 of 4080 entries, 20-0 record) respectively, just ask Woodrow Wilson, he was a co-winner in the first year (had several entries as I remember) Your 0.0016% is bogus because it ignores the bonus and the huge odds against the winner being a sole survivor. For example, a rolling ML parlay of one co-winner's picks last year paid just 132/1 so with 6000 entries we could expect from 10 to 40 co-winners with 20-0 records.
Would love to see an EOG guy win.Railbird showed up in Las Vegas to take a piece of the contests with overlays.

No one is disagreeing with the equity. The disagreement is that it's optimal to put in more entries because the chances of winning are slim.And with a $1k entry having an equity of around $1,400, just one entry has a significant monetary advantage. Now if you're a billionaire, the utility theory of money would say it isn't worth the effort in entering.

hope to make it out of week 1 !! LOLSign-ups are brisk this morning at both circa properties I've visited.
good luck sirI am entering the survivor contest tomorrow thanks to this discussion, its not my thing but worth a shot for some fun, I Hope
Do you mean go perfect with plays? That's 0.I know railbird"s guess is 0 will run the table and complete the full season, but does anybody else want to make a prediction how many circa entries run the table?
pay 50 spots also 1/4 prizesSo the odds of winning with one ticket went from .0016% (no overlay) to .0021%. This is why you want many entries. The overlay is insignificant unless you have many entries. The prize amount doesn't change, just the odds of winning.
It doesn't matter since the prizes remain the same. You want to greatly increase chances of winning. The word overlay confuses most people when the dollar amount is huge.And with a $1k entry having an equity of around $1,400, just one entry has a significant monetary advantage. Now if you're a billionaire, the utility theory of money would say it isn't worth the effort in entering.
Draft Kings has 12,617 survivor entries and 3,933 pick 5 this morning.
I think it's at least 14 states now.
$100 survivor, $250 pick 5. They changed the pick 5 from $1,500 last year. Survivor was $333 per entry last year. They raised the caps for entries too.
They guaranteed $1M and got to the guarantee.
Both are nice options to diversify the weekly contest portfolio.

I'll guess 27 "nopick" in Survivor Week 1.
Thanks.
I thought the survivor entry would be cheap. Do they have any added weeks to thin the herd? Otherwise, quite a few would go to the end.
