DraftDay fantasy w/ BTB contest (?)

[ChiefZilla]

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?

[ChiefZilla]

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

[Beyond the Bets]

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

[SkyBlues42]

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

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....)

Looks like your playing with yourself...

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?
