About Us
Who are The Milly Goats?
We are you! Four normal guys with a podcast on a quest to capture a million dollar prize on DraftKings. We are not professional gamblers. Too many shows want to give you advice BEFORE the games and that's OK, what about after the games, who is there for you? WE ARE. We are the virtual and audio DFS sports bar for your ears so we can all talk about how we almost had it, or played that one guy, laugh about decisions gone wrong, and get hyped for the dart throws that ultimately let us down. One thing we know is that goats have always been able to survive harsh environments due to their resiliency, and in DFS we have to be resilient. So, join us as we talk mainly football (other sports too), discuss dad-life necessities, and crack jokes about all corners of life. Let's meet the Milly Goats...
