Becoming a Full Time DFS Player?
Being a teacher gives you the perfect opportunity to test-drive being a pro. If you play MLB, there you go. Take your summer vacation and give it a (careful) shot. I think you will find that the advice in this thread is pretty spot-on. It's different t... Read More

I got sidetracked on my own question and failed to respond to OP. I'd say YES!!! DFS is most certainly set up for the player base as a whole to lose long term. That is how the sites profit. And in fact your stats seem to support that pretty well. An RO... Read More

Who is Testosterown?
How cool would it be if there was someone who would monitor all the beat writers on Twitter, then RT new lineup info (only!) right when it comes out? I'd pay for a service like that. Seriously. My system now works ok, but frequently gets derailed when m... Read More

Who is Testosterown?
I keep both windows open. They are both good but it seems to come down to when they check in to update their respective sites. Some days one site will be ahead, other days the other one will. Both say when each page was last updated - LWL has the time, ... Read More
