Bored? Try Fan Duel
I know nobody is bored with OS right now – but IF you are – Chuck brought up a cool new fantasy sports site to try out called FanDuel.com! I checked it out and it seems pretty neat. They also offer a free $10 to new accounts so thats cool. Here is their blurb about what they do:
FanDuel.com lets you play and win at fantasy sports in a day or a week instead waiting the whole season. Players can draft a new team at any time, and pitch it head-to-head against an opponent – a friend, or another FanDuel player – for real money. The player whose team has the most fantasy points after the games have completed wins the cash prize. We currently have two games running – Our daily MLB game and our weekly NFL game. NHL games and NBA games are coming soon. We’ve found developing FanDuel an exciting experience and we hope you find playing it to be exciting as well. Be sure to let us know what you think. what you think.
I signed up and am going to give a few of these fantasy games a try. Maybe they’ll be fun – who knows. Here is a cool little banner about their Fantasy Football weekly game.
Anyone played this yet? Would love any feedback on FanDuel.

I went ahead and tried it. Put in $10 and got the free $10. Coolest part is you can yank your winnings via paypal at any time. Well, hopefully I can win something.

Thanks for the write up. I’m one of the co-founders of the company behind Fanduel. In addition to football and baseball we have just launched hockey and are launching basketball game later this month. We are also looking at launching salary cap games.
Feel free to email me if you have any comments or questions about Fanduel: nigel [at] fanduel [dot] com.

What a rigning endorsement for Fantasy Tycoons!
Apparently the 3rd parties weren’t really chomping at the bit to put out games based on OS.
I’m still going to stick to Tycoons though. Who doesn’t like playing in a fantasy league that has 37 players when a quarter of them suck balls?
