TO THE EDITOR:
Justin MacMahan, a rising junior at UNC, has been playing fantasy sports since the earliest days of the burgeoning industry. Throughout 2015, MacMahan turned $25 into $100,000 via MLB on FanDuel.
He and his best friend Christian Abbonizio — also a rising junior at UNC — have had so much success in daily fantasy sports that the two decided they wanted to make it more accessible, enjoyable, and profitable for the average sports enthusiast.
In January 2016, the two co-founded Daily Fantasy Insider at DailyFantasyInsider.com; a company that provides free advice on all of daily fantasy sports offered on the industry-leading sites, DraftKings and FanDuel.
Recently, DFI launched a sister site, Daily Fantasy Insider University at DFIUniversity.com. DFIU is home to in-depth strategies for each sport, all becoming available for purchase over the next few months.
The strategy packages include Strategy Guides that teach DFS players the secrets to the DFI success and allow them to complete the lineups that they start with the help of the free advice on Daily Fantasy Insider.
The company’s 35 employees — 12 others of which are also UNC students — have won hundreds of thousands of dollars in daily fantasy sports ranging from MLB, NBA, and NFL to NHL, Soccer, PGA, MMA, NASCAR, CFL and eSports. Since launching in January, the company has gained close to 5,000 loyal subscribers, over 20,000 combined social media followers, and is growing daily.
