Billy Danks, resident of St. Paul, Minnesota, is looking to parlay his successful online poker playing business into a fantasy football playing business.
Danks, a 20-year-old dropout of the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, netted nearly $33,000 in 2006 by playing 14 hours a day in various online poker rooms. He noted that he would have earned $75,000 if not for a string of bad luck around Memorial Day when he began playing in his outdoor patio.
Danks won two out of the four fantasy football leagues he participated in last year and one out of three in 2005. He figures if he played in 750 leagues and won half of them, he would earn upwards of $100,000 for the year. In order to buy-in to so many leagues, Danks has consulted his local loan shark named Rip.
What sets Danks apart from other players?
Danks has Joseph Addai ranked ahead of Frank Gore in his running back column and Torry Holt slightly above Marvin Harrison.
