Congratulations To Dave Potts For Winning $1 Million DFBC

Post by Greg Ambrosius » Thu Aug 14, 2014 6:27 am

Rumor has it that at least three NFBC owners are headed to Las Vegas this weekend to compete in Fanduel's $1 million Daily Fantasy Baseball Championship. More than $3 million will be awarded this Saturday at the Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas with 70 owners flying out there for a luxurious weekend of baseball and fun. First place in the one-day contest is worth $1 million, with second place earning $300,000 and third place earning $100,000. Every owner is guaranteed at least $10,000.

If my sources are correct, Glenn Schroter has three tickets to the tournament, while Dave Potts and Bob Particelli have one spot each. These were earned throughout the baseball season in daily contests, so just winning those tournaments is quite a feat indeed. I believe the Fantasy Alarm team of Jeff Mans and Ted Schuster also have a spot in the tournament, as does NFFC owner Jeff Tirabassi. Good luck to all of our good friends and hopefully someone we know leaves Las Vegas with $1 million.

Kudos to Fanduel for creating such a great contest and prize. DFS has grown by leaps and bounds in the last couple of years and this is just another example of how astute players can win money in season-long games and in DFS. We'll be watching the Twitter feeds to see who earned the big payday in this contest. Good luck all.

the Cincy Col game was cancelled due to water pipe bursting. A lot of these players had players from the those 2 teams...

Unbelievable Dave. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. Don't spend the whole million in one place. ;)

I didn't even realize this was going on til it was over and my brother texted me that Pottsy won a million in DFBC :shock: :o

Wow! Awesome Dave, you destroy the notion that nice guys finish last.

Of all the great nt's in Papi's career tonight may be his finest, at least I would think in the opinion of one singer/songwriter out of Auburn, AL :twisted:

Congrats Dave.
Always be closing.

My sources are telling me an empty bag of Doritos was found by the broken water main at Coors and a Frito Lays truck was seen parked outside Doughy's residence with several boxes delivered.

Coincidence?

Awesome Dave! Way to go!

Looks like some guy "kingofqueens" also had a better than average day! 8-)
Baseball is a slow, boring, complex, cerebral game that doesn't lend itself to histrionics. You 'take in' a baseball game, something odd to say about a football or basketball game, with the clock running and the bodies flying.

That is so freaking cool! Congrats! I can't even begin to imagine how great that must feel. If I win $50 on a scratch-off ticket I feel like a million bucks.... You actually won a million bucks!!!!!

Being a singer songwriter I expect his own rendition of The Barenaked Ladies "If I had a Million Dollars" to hit youtube very soon !
