Seems to be alot of interest in this type of fantasy Basketball so I figured it deserved its own thread. If you want to see what its like you can go check out the daily fantasy football thread. http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...hp?t=157269133
What is this?
This is a way for fantasy fans to not have to deal with a draft, or injuries, or a lengthy season to win money. This way you make a new team every day, based on what you feel is a good setup.
How does it work?
How it works is simple. You buy into a league (or multiple leagues) every week. The type of league and the number of leagues is up to you. You then proceed to build your team and submit it into the contest. Teams are built via a salary system where you get a certain amount of "cash" to spend on players to build your team.
This is an example from NFL but it works basically the same way.
As you can see "better" players cost more so you need to be thrifty with your money and try to make good purchases to balance a team.
How much can I win?
Obviously it depends on how much you are wagering but there are alot of different types of leagues. One of the most popular is the 50/50 league where you join a contest and if you're in the top-half you double your money. These types of bets are much more stable and you have a pretty good chance of winning if you know what you're doing.
Then there are the massive pools where if you get lucky and draft smart you can win thousands of dollars off a small amount.
Where do I play?
There are alot of websites out there that you can play on.
The only one I have experience with is www.Fanduel.com and it has worked well for me.
Is this Legal?
Yes, fantasy sports is considered a game of skill and received a specific exemption from the 2006 Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA 2006).
Purpose of this thread is to discuss Daily Fantasy Basketabll, Team Building Strategies, and various things in regards to this style of fantasy.
As I stated already I dont know all the websites out there but I use FanDuel.
Here is my referral link: https://www.fanduel.com/?invitedby=carbassboy54&cnl=
I dont want it to look like I'm pimping out my referral so use whatever website you want or use the link above to go without a referral.
Let the conversation begin!.

Look for NBA to be up in a day or 2 at fanthrowdown!
Things we have over fanduel
Position flexabilty - Players listed at pg/sg instead of just pg or sg
Late swap - A must for NBA, helps you avoid the injury/flu bug for games that start after 7
Flex Spot - We have one Flex spot as well to make more diverse lineups
