    Draftstreet.com contest predictions

    I'm going out on a limb & predicting that LT PROFITS is going to dominate the field in the Free $250 Draftstreet.com contest.

    For those who don't know, Draftstreet is a unique new way of playing fantasy sports. You get a $100,000 budget to assemble a team and based on your team's overall performance that day/week/month (depends on contest length) you win cash. Draftstreet's actually 100% legal to deposit to with any payment method for US-based players.

    All depends on how many people enter. If we get a good sized group then game theory starts to play a big role. Gotta get those guys under the radar - and if Halladay blows it then it's wide open.

    No....

    Draftstreet has MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL contests/leagues. There's never any mixing/matching players between leagues.

    I'm telling you, after getting wind of LT's roster, this contest is all but a formality. I wonder what he's going to do with the loot.

    too bad we can't get some odds up in the SBR Sportsbook. I think that I know who I would bet on. LT would be the favorite, therefore the odds on some others would be favorable. I was playing free home run derby on there, currently in 2nd. I'm going to have to double check this draftstreet-sbr invitational. Looks like a lot of fun.

    Congrats to RichardStein and the rest of the free $250 Draftstreet.com contest winners! You certainly outclassed me, as I came in at 98th place.

    There are certainly hopes to do that, I don't know if we can call them plans just yet. But we'd certainly like to.

    I didn't realize these contests get cancelled if they don't fill up. I figured the payouts would just adjust to how many people entered. I just wasted a bunch of time making a team for nothing. I think you should reconsider this going forward.

    Bob - leagues will fill pretty consistently if you give it enough time. The early games on the weekends can be a little tough, especially on West Coasters.

    We have to set the league payouts in advance and some guys would only want to play if it was a 6-man league, etc., so we don't push them into different size games.

    I figured that. For a 6 man league maybe offer both options of "must have 6" to play and "min of 2, max of 6" if at all possible. It's not really a huge deal but if it's easy to offer that option it would be nice to have.
