In my last post I mentioned how much variance I have seen in DFS play with even a 60 point game not being able to cash at times, then I immediately went out and proved it with this one. This was a pretty interesting one though, with both a number of highly successful players along with a fair number of busts. Read More

Before I really devoted myself to MLB, I wanted to reflect on lessons learned during my first daily NBA season. I’m writing this as a reminder to myself and others next year that we will continue to improve as long as we don’t forget what worked from this season. A quick note before you read, it seems that regular season NBA and playoffs NBA are two different games. I did terrible the past few weeks playing in NBA playoffs after an amazing regular season so the info in this blog mainly relates to regular season. Read More

I do not usually get very pissed. I am a calm relaxed person by nature but this is a blog I have to create to let off some steam and warn any fellow Grinders do not enter Fantazzle golf leagues. They are just not good at it. Read More
Hello again Grinders, Read More
The success continued with this one as aside from a few bats the team as a whole was pretty successful. Another tough league though as I was able to take 1st in the 6 man by only a little over 1pt with 3 scoring over 50 total points. This has been my first full season playing MLB DFS and I am so surprised at the variance that comes with each league. Some nights you can be in a league where 60 won’t place, while other nights it doesn’t even take 50. Crazy Read More

Named after Lord Byron a true gentleman of the game this TPC Four Seasons course plays at PAR 70, 7,166 yards. There are 68 bunkers to swallow up miss hit tee and iron shots as well as 8 water hazards, just enough to make you think a little. The fairways are lined with trees and are tough to hit. The greens are pretty wavy and should prove challenging to most golfers. Read More
Hello daily-gamers, 15 games on the slate today, with premium SPs to choose from today especially. Slight weather concern in Pittsburgh, keep this on your radar prior to tonight’s game…make sure you check starting lineups prior to cut-off time tonight! Read More
Today I’m throwing down the gauntlet. I’m tired of donating and I’m challenging myself to win more than half my matchups this week. If I can’t make that happen, I think I may need to find a new hobby. Or maybe I’ll start a new blog that sheds light on the incredible joys that come from playing the free daily leagues. Read More
Hello fellow grinders, thanks for checking out my first post! I’ve been playing daily fantasy sports(DFS) for six months and it gets better everyday. You may have seen me on Draftstreet and more recently Draftkings as Furiousandthebigguy. I am NOT an expert, but would like to share some of the lessons I’ve learned in the first six months mostly for people that are just starting out like myself. I love this game and think as a community we can really bring DFS to the next level. Even though we are competitors, we can all learn from each other. I’d like to emphasize that you MUST be skilled at fantasy sports to succeed on a regular basis. If you plan on being lucky all the time, you should probably take your deposit and light it on fire.

All nice things must come to an end as my 12 game winning streak came to a halt with some bad playing yesterday. Always check your line ups and never over look players names, that’s the classic lesson a rook like me just learned. Read More
Finally, success was found. After 2 days of 50+ points I was able to keep the streak going and actually take 1st in my 6 man and get myself basically back to even. I don’t know what is going on but 3 people ended up scoring over 60 in this league so the competition is getting stiff in DFS. Read More
So depending on how lucky you feel, you might want to experiment a team (or two) on this insane deal. Read More
How great was it to see David Ragan and teammate David Gilliland finish first and second at Talladega? Enjoy it, because it wont happen this week. Darlington is known as the track too tough to tame for a reason. Drivers will find themselves pushing 180 mph all literally 3-4 inches from the wall. That is no exaggeration. Often the drivers will use up that 3-4 inches and earn the infamous Darlington stripe. It is going to be another Sat night race so get your picks in before 7 PM ET. Read More
I got another sleeper that can be toyed around in some of your lineups tonight to get some value picks as well as more money to invest on the big guns today. Read More
I am the caretaker for Grays Sports Almanac. Don’t ask me how I obtained this priceless treasure but I’d appreciate it if you please tip me off if you see a crazy-eyed scientist or a kid trying to get their hands on it. Until that day comes I will freely share its contents with you. Read More
