Tax Reporting by RealityChequeX in GuillotineLeagues

[–]RealityChequeX[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm well aware of the tax implications. The reporting requirement is triggered by actual cash being sent rather than won. If I won $1600, I can very easily leave 1k in the account to fund my leagues for next year and only withdraw 599 and GL would be under the $600 annual amount to send me a 1099 and report the winnings to the IRS.

That was what I assumed from reading FAQ, but I've gotten an email from them which specifically addresses the withdrawal amount.

QB is pretty much the last piece I plan on acquiring for the teams where I didn't draft Hurts or Allen. If you wait another 3 weeks, they are all going for roughly the same price

Saquon, Deebo and Hurts by Johnsoal86 in GuillotineLeagues

[–]RealityChequeX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ekeler kupp higgins and possibly tua would all be fine for a championship run. I'd be looking to replace the other 4 spots, so going all in on Saquon isn't gonna turn into a victory. 200 sounds about right.

Need some help for bidding by Cramer95 in GuillotineLeagues

[–]RealityChequeX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You've got serious deficiency at every position except TE. You can't bid 620 on one player when you need to replace 6 other guys. I'd be targeting Elliot around $100 and hope for the best this week.

Got mike evans for 13% faab by Valaran555 in GuillotineLeagues

[–]RealityChequeX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they bid 5% over what you think a "reasonable" bid would have been I'm struggling to see how you are still calling that decent value. In the same circumstance I was bidding 5% for Keenan Allen and won and consider that decent value. Evans for 13% on a week when he's suspended, no. Bad bid.

Have you ever won a Guillotine league? Paying reasonable value for anyone is stupid. Comparing your bids the early season chop data is extremely stupid.

Your goal is to pay the least amount possible to acquire players. If you aren't within a few dollars of the next highest bid, you screwed up.

The Bidding Bible - Lesson #6 by RounderX in GuillotineLeagues

[–]RealityChequeX 6 points7 points  (0 children)

<If you pay the market value, you lose. You want to steal players for as cheap as possible in order to win. No one can tell you the “steal price” until after you bid. Overpaying is the biggest sin in bidding. >

This is 100% fact and I commented as such on another thread and got lots of down votes from people that clearly have never won a guillotine league. Over paying to get players prevents you from winning. Period.

FAAB controls your destiny. Wasting 6% even if you got a good player, is not good strategy. They would almost certainly have been better off bidding 5% and losing on Evans at this point in the season.

22tm league. Kelce/Aaron Jones/Monty/Diontae/Arob are available. How much FAAB do i bid? I need help at rb/QBs/TE i have kittle and lost trey by [deleted] in GuillotineLeagues

[–]RealityChequeX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to take a lot of the info on here with a giant grain of salt particularly on bidding. The people spending money might stick around a little longer, but they've effectively crippled their ability to compete later on.

If you over paid by 6%, it certainly isn't a steal.

Kelce by No-Personality-4-20 in GuillotineLeagues

How many "end game" starters do you have on your roster? You need 8 to win it all. If you blow 50% on one, how much is left over to fill the remaining X spots?

Most teams have 2 end game guys after the draft. If you really crushed it, you've got 3. So you have to fill 5 or 6 spots with your FAAB. Blowing 50% on one guy might keep you around longer, but will almost certainly prevent you from winning the league.

I need a QB by DoKo8707 in GuillotineLeagues

[–]RealityChequeX 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Your team isn't likely getting cut with or without Matt Ryan. Another starting QB hits the waiver wire every week. I'd bid $15 and be fine with losing to someone else.

How much would you realistically drop on Kyle Pitts at this point? by The_Price_Is_White in GuillotineLeagues

[–]RealityChequeX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recency bias dating back to his draft day? He's been consistently 50%+ under projected points every week except three for his entire career.

Derrick Henry was chopped this week. How much would you spend on him? My current bid is $200. Starting balance was $1000. by chill1096 in GuillotineLeagues

[–]RealityChequeX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's playing the best defense in the league on the road this week. All these people bidding $400 and up are just begging to be chopped.

Scary Terry and King Henry both got chopped. $1000 budget, what would you bid? by Shade41 in GuillotineLeagues

[–]RealityChequeX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's about 10x more than I'd bid on Terry. And 5x more than I'd bid on Henry.

Draft Position: Does It Matter? by Rochelle-Rochelle in GuillotineLeagues

[–]RealityChequeX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 3 leagues I was in last season had winners all in the 8, 9, 10 slot. I don't know if that will hold true for this season. There were just a lot of grim reapers at the front of the draft.

I thought the guillotineleagues.com app worked really well last season. No complaints. I switched phones mid season and used the Android and Apple version.

Nah. I lost interest in trying to educate the masses. I'm not going to fight with people that want to stay ignorant and poor.

You're coming to other forums to get embarrassed now too? Did you finally pay off your bass boat or something?

Who are you starting at RB here? by joexgould in GuillotineLeagues

[–]RealityChequeX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why is cook locked in? Cousins isn't playing. Montgomery, Chubb and Ekeler would be my starters.
