Hahahahahha, almost every time I've heard somebody mention trying that strategy exactly what you said happens. It's too hard to predict what guys will go for I thinkEdwards Kings wrote:Just do not use my strategy from last year:
1) try not to spend more than $20 on a player.
2) leave 7.5% of your budget on the floor because you screw up.
IMO, the better the competition, the tougher it is to run a spread-the-risk strategy. It's difficult to land enough bargains to really make it work.Edwards Kings wrote:Just do not use my strategy from last year:

Yes it is. Jeff Dobies did it very well. My biggest issue besides my not staying in on a couple of players late was three of my four biggest spends were Wade Davis, Carlos Gomez, and Sonny Gray!Yah Mule wrote:IMO, the better the competition, the tougher it is to run a spread-the-risk strategy.

Hahaha I wish. I am hoping to get back next year. Really want to just would rather spread the money across a few leagues this year. I'll make sure I join the ME league you're in next year.Gekko wrote:dude - u crack me up with your in your face cursing. are you drafting/auctioning in NYC this year?

While I do think I could win this league, not a smart play for me. I need to beat Randy Levine in my arbitration case this year and then I'll be up.Gekko wrote:no need to wait until next year. i'll be in NYC this year participating in an auction league. See below in bold.

Right, another thing I paid attention to last year was cheap guys that only qualified at utility that were maybe 6 to 8 dollar players and see if I could sneak them for a dollar if everybody else filled up their utility. More of a fallback strategy than doing it on purpose thoughDeadheadz wrote:Good video.Bjs2025 wrote:Follow up auction strategy video posted today.

While I don't toe the CBS party line about keeping extra money back for the end of an auction, I'll admit I've had more than one auction where it seems like everyone forgot about a significant player who was either injured or for some other reason was off the radar. Everyone has just $1 left and some guy nominates a Roy Oswalt or someone we all forgot about and gets a steal of a deal because no one can outbid him. Does it really matter by the end of the season? Probably not.
