While finishing up his college degree, Kyle became a full-time DFS player in 2018-19 after he won the first FanDuel FantaSea live final event for a $250,000 score. He has appeared in 6 live finals, qualifying for 10 total seats in that time. Kyle has accumulated multiple five and six-figure scores across several sports and has spent time inside the top 100 overall rankings. In recent years, he has also added a focus towards prop betting, where he has turned a profit in multiple sports, such as NBA, MLB, and PGA.

The ScoresAndOdds Prop Model, introduced in early 2022, uses a time-tested stat projection model to simulate the outcome of each game over and over again. Statistics are logged during each simulated trial, and the results are then compared to the odds presented by the sportsbook to determine the best bets.
