So something I wanted to talk about today which caught my eye is the online game of fantasy football. More then that how people are also using mock drafts in fantasy football a lot as well it seems. Now I?ll admit I wasn?t fully aware of all of this myself so I decided to dig into it a little bit. In case you?re wondering what fantasy football is exactly what the name says.
It?s all online based where you get to set up, run, manage and play your own football team against other teams. I guess the amount of time people are putting into it is really picking up now with football season coming up. While I had known about this form of entertainment for a while I hadn?t really looked into it until recently. One of the things that got me interested was the fact that at work (I work at a place with computers all day. Go figure, lol) I always noticed that whenever he had the chance one of my co-workers would be on such a site. On top of that he was always doing research of all kinds. Reading up about players, their records, how they were expected to perform. It?s actually interesting.
The game basically uses some complicated system to determine things such as how good a player is, how much they improve for the fantasy season, how well your team does against others and such. I looked and tested it out a little bit myself. Not being a huge sports fanatic (despite the fact I live in Ohio, lol) I doubt I was nearly as skilled as he was, lol. Regardless it was interesting though. I found there?s a lot of useful information I got from him, the internet, forums and other places on how to sharpen your skills on it. The most interesting part he told me is that right now he was playing for free and had done that for the last three seasons. But apparently you can play for real money. He said if he does good this season he?s going to personally begin playing for some real cash as well. While I don?t see myself being that good for a while that sounds pretty cool to say the least.
There?s a ton of sites out there for fantasy sports and the one he was using (which I decided to check out) was fan duel.?It seems to be one of the more popular sites and has a ton of sports as well. In case you?re wondering the betting portion is completely legal. I was curios myself just in case I ever get food enough at this to play for money. Apparently it?s all legal since this is considered to be a game of skill and not chance so the government is fine with this. I guess for practice in predicting things one thing a lot of people will do is play three section first and also try out mock drafts at sites like fantasy football calculator.?I can say that personally I?m not a big sports fan but I love strategy. I?ve always excelled at real time strategy, RPGs, chess, checkers, pretty much any game that makes you think. There?s a ton of detail to these games so I can see why doing this would appeal to people. So even if you?re not ready to start winning money I definitely suggest to check this out right now, try it, play it, let me know what you think. Then you can brag to all of your friends about your fantasy football team which you personally put together.
