My name is Willie Bawarski. I built FuturesDesk because I got tired of the noise.

My name is Willie Bawarski. I built FuturesDesk because I got tired of the noise.


I’m a pharmacist by training, with more than 20 years in pharmacy. Roughly the first decade of that career was spent in retail pharmacy, counseling patients and making decisions in a high-volume environment. My work later expanded into managed care, clinical review, workers’ compensation, PBM operations, and process improvement.

I’m also a Six Sigma Black Belt.

That combination of frontline retail experience and clinical operations taught me to make decisions under pressure, measure outcomes, audit risk, identify process failure, and separate useful signal from noise.

FuturesDesk applies that operating mindset to sports futures markets.

THE OPERATING DISCIPLINE

SYSTEMS BEFORE STORIES.

SYSTEMS BEFORE STORIES.

SYSTEMS BEFORE STORIES.

Clinical review and market intelligence are different domains, but the operating requirements are similar.

01

The evidence must be traceable.

02

The assumptions must be explicit.

03

The process must survive review.

04

The result must remain separate from the quality of the decision that produced it.

That is the discipline behind FuturesDesk.

HOW I OPERATE

THE PROCESS HAS RULES.

THE PROCESS HAS RULES.

THE PROCESS HAS RULES.

01

EVIDENCE BEFORE OPINION

02

PROCESS BEFORE OUTCOME

03

POSITIONS, NOT PREDICTIONS

04

EVERY MATERIAL CLAIM SHOULD BE AUDITABLE

05

OBSERVATION MUST REMAIN SEPARATE FROM INFERENCE

06

UNCERTAINTY MUST BE STATED WHEN EVIDENCE IS INCOMPLETE

A SECOND PART OF THE RECORD

A SECOND PART OF THE RECORD


Action Network reported that I sold 191 college-basketball futures through PropSwap during the COVID-canceled 2019–20 season.

That was one season, not the full record. Across all sports and seasons, my records show more than 1,000 futures tickets sold through PropSwap.

When the NCAA Tournament was canceled and buyers were left exposed, I returned money so buyers could be made whole.

That story is separate from the $57,000 exit, but it belongs in the same founder record.

Position management requires evidence and judgment.

Operating a trusted market also requires accountability.

THE WORK IS PERSONAL. THE PROCESS ISN’T.

I live in Las Vegas with my family.

I’m still practicing pharmacy while building FuturesDesk.

That constraint matters.

The product has to be useful without requiring constant founder performance, manufactured urgency or endless content volume.

It has to run on repeatable systems, accurate records and disciplined decision-making.
