If You Ain’t First — You Are Last!

That is my motto for the day. If you ain’t first — you are last! Nothing is truer sometimes in the DFS world. Last night, I took home 2nd place in the FanDuel Miami Qualifier for their live event. Yep. 2nd place for a $700 win. Profit of $675. But I’m PISSSSSSSED! First place and I go to Miami with all you awesome DFS people to compete for $100K in another Live Final. 4 DFS points. Thank God I…

I’ll expand on that trip in the near future.

Here is my projected order of finish in the Big Ten in 2014-15.

One player not to…
