Matt Shepherd Joins The Podcast Tuesday At 6 pm ET

Post by Greg Ambrosius » Thu Jan 26, 2023 8:51 am

Our 2022 NFBC Main Event champion, Bob Cramutola, will join me tonight on our High Stakes Fantasy Network YouTube channel at 7 ET. Bob first joined the NFBC in 2019 and has already competed in hundreds of leagues across all four sports during that time. He turned this passion into a $175,000 grand prize last year and we'll have a fun trip down Memory Lane to see how he did it.

Listen and watch us here and subscribe to our channel to get updates on every new show:

I'll also tweet out the interview live on my twitter account. Should be fun.

Bob won the overall title last year, but didn't even win his league title. We'll discuss that and a whole lot more tonight at 7 ET. See you there.

We had a lot of fun on the High Stakes Fantasy Network podcast last night as I had a chance to interview our 2022 NFBC Main Event champion, Bob Cramutola. Bob won the title despite having no FAAB left over the last four weeks of the season and having only $11 in FAAB since August 1st. Bob said it was 90 percent luck that he held on for the title!!

Enjoy the podcast and look for more interviews soon:

Our next High Stakes Fantasy Network podcast will be Friday at 3 pm ET as I'll be talking with Andrew Geller, the 2022 Rotowire Online Championship overall champion. Andrew finished 2nd in the 2020 Sprint Rotowire Online Championship and he finished 4th in the 2021 Rotowire Online Championship before finally taking down the overall title last year.

He's won 12 Rotowire OC league titles during his time in the NFBC, including two league titles last year. He will be joining us live in Las Vegas for the first time March 23-26 and we look forward to honoring him on the Stage of Champions on Saturday, March 25th before the 11 am Main Event. Can't wait.

I look forward to the one-on-one discussion on Friday, so join us there. Listen and watch us Friday and subscribe to our channel to get updates on every new show:

If you want to listen to today's one-on-one interview with Charlie Wiegert, the creator of the Diamond Challenge, go here:

https://youtube.com/live/4HH6yaPrFhc

It was a fun stroll down Memory Lane and I appreciate everything that Charlie, Brian & Carol Matthews, and John Brison have done for the industry. They saved the industry from the leagues at a time when we needed it. Enjoy the podcast.

Oh, and if you want to compete against Charlie in an NFBC Diamond Challenge Roto league, be one of the first 14 to use the Promo Code GODFATHER for $40 off your entry and we'll place you in his league. Charlie is going to compete for league and overall prizes and talk with me regularly on a podcast about the Diamond Challenge contest. Enjoy and get in his league!!!

Re: Rob Silver Joins The Podcast Tuesday At 2 pm ET

Post by Greg Ambrosius » Tue Feb 28, 2023 2:56 pm

I did a bad job of promoting my latest High Stakes Fantasy Network podcast because my laptop crashed, was in the hands of Geek Squad and I just got it back on Monday. I apologize for being out of touch these last four days, but your ENTIRE LIFE is in a computer and when it goes down you are F--KED!!!! :twisted:

Anyway, I had to postpone my podcast with Dave Potts until Thursday, March 9th at 9 pm ET. Sorry for the delay, but we'll have fun next week together.

I still had my podcast with Rob Silver today at 2 pm ET, but I was just able to promote it on Twitter the last 24 hours. I really liked this one and you should definitely check it out on our YouTube channel:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIgK5BmazMw&t=12s

Now the good news is that I got some help from Mat Harrison at SportsHub and he helped me get these latest podcasts on all of the streaming devices. You can now find our podcasts on iheartradio, Apple podcasts, Spotify and more. Check them out here:

https://anchor.fm/highstakesfantasynetwork

I think you'll like this latest one with our 2016 NFBC Main Event overall champion. Thanks Rob for taking the time today and enjoy everyone.

Dave and I had a fun 1-hour discussion about his history in the NFBC and how he's won THREE national titles during his fantasy baseball career. He won the 2012 NFBC Main Event overall title, he won a Fanduel $1 million contest and he won a Draft Kings $1 million contest. Wow.

You'll enjoy this discussion for sure:

Re: Brady Tinker Joins The Podcast Tuesday At 9 pm ET

Post by Greg Ambrosius » Tue Mar 14, 2023 10:35 am

This is the 20th anniversary season of the NFBC and one guy has been with me from the very start. He is Brady Tinker, our Hall of Fame Auctioneer and the best in the industry.

Brady and I first discussed the idea of a high-stakes fantasy baseball contest in 2003 and I finally was able to convince Krause Publications to try this idea in 2004. Brady was my first auctioneer in Las Vegas for a $1250 AL Auction League and he's been with us at every live event since.

We'll have some fun talking about 20 years of good times in Las Vegas for the NFBC and NFFC, so join us tonight.

Listen and watch us here and subscribe to our channel to get updates on every new show:

I'll also tweet out the interview live on my twitter account and all interviews are now available on all streaming devices. Watch of listen in as this one should be fun.

IT'S OFFICIAL: Brady Tinker will be in Las Vegas March 23-26 for the 20th straight season as he's been to every live Las Vegas baseball event as I have been. He talks about why he almost didn't make it this year and what he's doing for a living now in this trip down Memory Lane with yours truly. It's been 26 fun years together, as you can see in this latest podcast:

I hosted three podcasts in the last week that featured interviews with some of our 2023 NFBC national champions. I'm trying to line up more and will do a better job of announcing them here on the Message Boards, but check out the following when you have time. These are all on our High Stakes Fantasy Network YouTube channel and each one is also on Spotify if you want to listen to them there.

The first one was with Lucas Biery, our 2023 NFBC Online Auction Champion:

The second one was with Drew Forte, our 2023 NFBC Rotowire Online Championship Champion:

And our third one was with Matt Shepherd, our 2023 Auction Championship Champion who is battling for some titles in the NFFC as well:

Enjoy and look for a few more soon.
