Ep. 5 with Steve Buzzard (dacoltz): Playing High Stakes DFS Comes With Mental Health Costs

Update: 2022-02-28

Description

Steve Buzzard - @SteveBuzzard on Twitter and dacoltz on DraftKings -- is a top-20 ranked player in the RotoGrinders rankings and is mostly known for famously winning both the FanDuel Million AND the FanDuel World Fantasy Football Championship during the same NFL season.

I talked with Steve about:

- Growing his current bankroll from just an initial $500 deposit
- The stress of maintaining a high profile, full-time day job while playing DFS seriously, then the decision to eventually leave that job
- The highs of his crazy 2018 NFL season
- How he handled the worst downswing of his career last year
- Mental health challenges of high stakes DFS + the pandemic
