Comments for The Business of Fantasy Hockey Part III - The Psychology of Crowds at http://hockey.dobbersports.com , comment 1 to 8 out of 8 comments http://hockey.dobbersports.com Wed, 22 May 2013 17:11:45 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.3 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/3021-the-business-of-fantasy-hockey-part-iii-the-psychology-of-crowds#comment-7653 I agree with Shoeless. Great series, but this piece is the crown jewel. Excellent insight and theory for any investor -- no matter what they're buying. - Ryan Van Horne Fri, 13 Aug 2010 15:28:46 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/3021-the-business-of-fantasy-hockey-part-iii-the-psychology-of-crowds#comment-7498 When I saw the title of the article I anticipated something quite different in the content. I invite you and Mike to think about renaming the article and saving this title because it isn't about crowds but individuals (granted types of individuals). Well so what? Because I will bet a pretty penny that if you guys keep this thing going that not too far down the road you are going to write a piece about crowds that is really about crowds in fantasy hockey. Loved the article - best in the series so far and they have all been wonderful. - Shoeless Wed, 04 Aug 2010 22:30:53 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/3021-the-business-of-fantasy-hockey-part-iii-the-psychology-of-crowds#comment-7497 This business series has been fantastic. Unfortunately, as a new poolie I fear I will emulate Nelly (my fee has been paid) instead of Sammy. At this point in time, I do not have the confidence to know when to pull the trigger on a trade, or to know when Sammy Shrewd is taking me to the cleaners. I am far from the knowledge of the NHL pool of players and prospects that is expounded by the writers and readers of Dobber Hockey. Hopefully, I can apply the principles of this series of articles to get me a little closer to success in my pool. - ducat2 Wed, 04 Aug 2010 22:27:04 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/3021-the-business-of-fantasy-hockey-part-iii-the-psychology-of-crowds#comment-7491 [b]agentzero[/b] It's funny you say that. There's so much we wanted to write about in this piece but we simply couldn't for sake of space. But think about your league, and if you know the other owners personally, think about how their "managing style" matches their personality in real life. The guy you're referring to is probably the exact same way with everyday situations. An important thought to keep in mind. Also, if you really like psychology, I definitely recommend downloading the entire Munger piece. It's not only a great read in general, but some of the more complicated theories are really insightful if you think about how they connect to fantasy hockey. These were the simple, easy-to-understand tendencies. Be sure to check out Part IV as well - will be right up your alley. - Mike Colligan Wed, 04 Aug 2010 17:43:29 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/3021-the-business-of-fantasy-hockey-part-iii-the-psychology-of-crowds#comment-7490 It's funny, but I think my league has a Nelly-no-trade and Nelly-no-pay all in the same guy. He's a douche. This is really awesome stuff Angus. I love psychology and mass behavioural studies. I've always tried to apply the valuation factors but these articles make the application so clear and thus easier to do by a mile. Love it. Great additions to the site's reading material! - agentzero Wed, 04 Aug 2010 17:28:48 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/3021-the-business-of-fantasy-hockey-part-iii-the-psychology-of-crowds#comment-7489 I honestly learned a ton about the topic by just writing this piece. This is essential reading for ANY poolie. This stuff will win you pools over the long term. Sure knowing sleeper picks is fantastic, and that is why you pick up the Guide every year. But imagine being able to not only learn about sleepers through the articles you read and the Guide, but identifying them yourself! - angus Wed, 04 Aug 2010 14:36:00 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/3021-the-business-of-fantasy-hockey-part-iii-the-psychology-of-crowds#comment-7478 Good article, but can you help me with my stock portfolio! :) - Justin Louis Wed, 04 Aug 2010 10:01:23 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/3021-the-business-of-fantasy-hockey-part-iii-the-psychology-of-crowds#comment-7475 holy crap this might be the most useful article yet. please remove it from the site before the other GMs in my league see it. - Sammy Shrewdster Wed, 04 Aug 2010 08:54:45 +0100
