I tend to joke a lot about the influence of rappers on my decisions in daily fantasy football. But some of y'all done went too far.

While discussing my strategies for hedging once, someone said to me, "Scared money don't make no money." This is a line from a Young Jeezy song. It's also a frightening way to think about exposure in DFS.
