Yeah I think I'll do some $1 matchups and see if I can build this thing up. This could be pretty fun, actually.

Not bad. I'll start posting screen shots of my garbage teams.

Dude, fantasy baseball is the best fantasy sport, imo. I used to be a fantasy football nut, but I've shifted. Baseball is where fantasy achieves it's best balance of skill and entertainment. I love it.

I used to like fantasy baseball, but the payoff isn't worth the investment of time. You have to update a team every day for six months, as if it's your child, all for a payoff of anywhere between $500 and $1,000 (unless you're some sort of fantasy baseball high roller.)

The daily format is more to my liking but probably something I admittedly wouldn't stick with long term.

In any case, figured I'd pass this along from @DraftDay:

We'll be giving out some free cash prizes to anyone who signs up using this link over the weekend so make sure to signup for a chance to win some free money!

If I lose today, I get another $5?

RE: DraftDay fantasy w/ BTB contest (?) - ChiefZilla - 05-18-2012 11:49 AM

I don't think you do, redeye, but I could be wrong on that.

RE: DraftDay fantasy w/ BTB contest (?) - Beyond the Bets - 05-18-2012 12:23 PM

To clarify:

You get 1 free $5 Draft game when you sign up. To get additional free games, you can use the "Challenge" to challenge friends. For each new friend you invite to DraftDay, you get a private 1-on-1 game vs. them for free. The winner gets $5.

My baseball lineup for today. I don't play fantasy baseball so this was sort of just "on the fly."

Apparently I am playing spanishredeye in our $5 freeroll. From what I hear he just wins contests so I got my work cut out for me

RE: DraftDay fantasy w/ BTB contest (?) - SkyBlues42 - 05-18-2012 02:32 PM

Just update your team and pick the same thing as him.. what happens then?

Sarcastic LOL

So my game is going on now, but it appears I'm playing against myself in the free $5 game. Does this mean I'm awarded a free $5 by default? Or did I have to recruit an opponent? I'm a bit confused. (here is a screen shot if that helps explain it....)

I've had some issues where the software gets a little glitchy, arzoman. I'm assuming that's what happened here.

But what was the end result with this? Did you beat yourself and get $5? LOL
