Megan Shoup lives in Baltimore, MD. But she’s a Washington fan in Raven’s country! A fan of all Washington sports has taught Megan and her brother Steve resiliency.

Her areas of focus are Best Ball, Daily Fantasy, and Sports Betting. Megan has a lot of experience in NFL DFS and has been playing since 2013. She has several wins and top 10 finishes in tournaments on both DraftKings and FanDuel over the past 10 years. She likes the niche contests like Showdowns and Tiers, and will be writing about all types of NFL DFS contests here.

After dabbling with NFL best ball in 2020 and 2021, in 2022 she decided to take best ball seriously and drafted approximately 50 best ball teams last summer. She mostly drafted on Underdog Fantasy with just a few drafts on DraftKings and Drafters. It was a successful season with an approximate 27% advance rate to the playoffs. The best part is one team made the BBM3 Finals on Underdog! She did not max enter the BBM3 obviously either…she made it to the BBM3 Finals with only 9 entries in the BBM3 contest!

Mistakes I’ve made in NFL DFS the last Two Seasons: Part 1 – Intro

After nine seasons of playing NFL DFS, I was profitable for six seasons in a row (2014-2019 NFL seasons).

As if the 2020s…

NBA Props to Target in Game 6 Warriors vs. Grizzlies

The NBA Playoffs have been a bit frustrating from a prop betting perspective this year. Why? Blowouts. Every day there is a game where either one or both teams simply do not show up. In almost all the playoff games in May, there has been at least one, if not two blowouts each day. The…

NBA Props to Target in Game 6 Suns vs. Mavericks

Last week I wrote an article about Suns vs. Mavericks Game 2 props I liked. Honestly, tonight's props will be pretty similar. It is an elimination game at home for Dallas, and I'm banking on Luka Doncic to take over and put this team on his back if they want to push the series to…

NBA Props to target in Game 2 Suns vs. Mavericks

Last week I broke down how I like to hunt for value on sportsbooks for NBA prop bets. Again, I find value spots in players that play a lot of minutes, high points per minute players or players that have new roles due to injury. In this series between the Suns and Mavericks, there are…
