DFS Amateur Hour - Tuesday Postscript: First (Moderately) Big Score

I entered eight lineups Tuesday and cashed in seven. All told, I spent $60 to win $405 for a profit of $345. My bankroll was $972.60, now it's $1317.60.

Most of the winnings ($250) were from one lineup that finished fifth out of 3448, thanks to Kyle Schwarber, Jacob deGrom and an Astros stack. Around 11:15 pm ET (I should have taken a screen shot) it was actually in first place ($1,000), but I knew it wouldn't hold up because the teams narrowly behind me had so many more innings left. It was fun while it lasted though.

It was also nice to win the heads up against condia, putting me at 3-1 against the pros in those contests. The sample is still too small to mean anything, but I'd rather start off well than poorly.
