    Let me get this straight...

    You get an extra point/day by posting in the fantasy sports subforum and noone is taking advantage of it? Everyone did when it was in the saloon.

    It's like comparing checkers (sports betting) to chess (fantasy). It appears most here just aren't interested in it. Very unfortunate.

    I have to say, it is no surprise some of the guys I see in poker popping their heads in here every once in a while. That is clearly the target until poker becomes legalized.

    I think a lot of people don't know about the extra point.

    As for playing fantasy, I'm good at it, but I try to stay away because I get too involved.

    i would say the fewer that know about the longer it might last for us.

    like all great things

    sooner or later they come to an end.

    yisman i was looking at daily joust

    might try $50 with betpoints

    i have no clue what to do and have never won anything fantasy related.

    hell i can't even beat LOU in the $5 contest.

    but the value seems good for 588 points you get $50 cash to play with

    do have any advice on what to play or etc....

    thanks

    I'll gladly take any freebies that come my way...

    I've picked up many tips & triX from just browsing.

    Cheers!

    Anyone who isn't aware must simply be quite the dipsh*t. I've pounded away at this free point option in dozens of posts. Can't see how someone couldn't figure this concept out by now.

    Regardless, I agree with you guys. Let's keep getting our free point just as long as we can. I think this promo is going to last quite a while!

    There's a minimum character requirement. That was set up when they were giving points for first post of the day (before they made it just for login).

    draftstreet was the first site on sbr i signed up with and they now have golf. if fanduel got golf i would try it there, but i favor draftstreet just because of familiarity.

    You get the extra point if the thread is in the fantasy-sports-betting-contests subforum only. The threads that are linked in players talk and fantasy sports do not get the extra point. Yes, I'm a dirty points whore.

    i am aware of that
    but like yisman said, i wasn't aware that the post had to be a certain length. i was probably just typing "bite me" and that wasn't long enough

    Opie: "Did you make this indiscretion known to the fantasy forum mod?"

    What a great sentence to both shamelessly self-promote, as well as answer a question...I move to have Opie appointed MOD of political forum as well!!

    I wonder what the minimum requirement is. I will be sure to at least post a couple sentences.

    i just started season long fantasy football last year with my friends. i prefer the weekly ones though because you really have to rely on your stars not getting hurt in season long

    We have a pretty nice gathering of 12 for a fantasy draft, started it in college and continues now as we mostly surpass 30, only had 2 drop outs

    Used to be about getting drunk and talking about broads we would do filthy things too now it more about nagging wife stories and what our kids have done lately.
