Here is the deal. A new player is in town with a whole new business model that will destroy the big 2 IMO. They already have received endorsements of Jimmy Johnson Boomer, TY Hilton, Jordey Nelson, and Drew Brees . There is no cost to join, no fees to pay ( unless of course you enter a contest) but you can make big money playing, and referring them players . They are taking a third of all the fees and paying it back to the network of players.

PM me for details

2014 MVP and Cy Young Award Winner Clayton Kershaw Signs On with FantasyDraft

Charlotte, NC, December 1, 2014 - FantasyDraft, LLC is pleased to announce that Clayton Kershaw has joined a rapidly expanding roster of athlete endorsers for FantasyDraft.com, a new daily fantasy sports website.
"Clayton Kershaw is one of the best baseball players in recent history and we are so excited to have him on the FantasyDraft team," said Grant Yoder, FantasyDraft CEO.
Kershaw was recently named the best pitcher and most valuable player of his division for the 2014 baseball season behind a 21-3 record, which included 239 strike-outs and a 1.77 ERA. His talent on the field is only matched by his generosity off of it. He has been honored with both the Roberto Clemente Award and Branch Rickey Award for his humanitarian work through his charity "Kershaw's Challenge".
"Clayton is a unique young superstar who recognizes the platform he has and uses it to help enrich the lives of others, which is so in tune with the core values of FantasyDraft," added Yoder.
Kershaw will be featured regularly on the website and will play contests where FantasyDraft.com users can test their skill against the best-of-the-best. In addition to playing in the contests, Kershaw will be featured in FantasyDraft.com promotional materials and social media campaigns.
"I was drawn to FantasyDraft because of their unique model that gives back to the users that make the site successful. Now it's time for me to test out my skills as a team manager," remarked Kershaw.
Kershaw will have his own profile page on the site where fans will be able to find upcoming contests he is featured in and see how he performs as a FantasyDraft.com manager. Any winnings Kershaw receives will go to his charity, Kershaw's Challenge.

A Message to Our FantasyDraft Players
Dear HIGHROLLERS,
After the challenges we experienced yesterday on FantasyDraft.com, we wanted to reiterate our stance regarding our efforts to make things right for our customers.
First off, we want to reassert our commitment to providing a premium DFS experience and expect to be one of the top destinations online for Daily Fantasy play. We are here for the long term and while our Launch Weekend didn't go as planned, we will not allow this to deter us from reaching our goals.
As we stated yesterday, we didn't meet our expectations over the weekend (NFL Week 14); and because of that, we have made a number of decisions to make this right for you, our players. In an effort to do so, over the next few days we are going to take the steps outlined below.

  • We will refund ALL ENTRY FEES for ANY ENTRY that didn't finish in the PayoutZone in ANY of last weekend's guaranteed contests, not just the 3 largest contests.
  • For users who submitted a lineup and paid the entry fee into any of our guaranteed contests and said lineup was not scored or included in the contest standings, we are going to payout based on the place the user WOULD HAVE finished in the final contest standings had they been included. For example, if your point total for a contest would have placed you in the 3rd position within the PayoutZone, we will pay you the amount the 3rd spot earned (this will not affect anyone in the official standings published on the site).
  • For users who submitted a lineup into any of our guaranteed contests and paid the entry fee for lineups that weren't scored or included in the contest standings and finished outside of the PayoutZone, we will refund your entry fees.
  • Any lineups that finished inside the PayoutZone for any contest will be paid as normal.
Once we identified the lineup issues, a small group of players did submit valid lineups and paid the entry fees prior to the contests' closing. We opted not to insert these lineups into the contest once they were live because they could have potentially affected the contest rankings and the total lineup count within each contest. This would threaten the integrity of the contest, a result that was not acceptable to us.
We will continue to take the steps necessary to reach our goals. Part of that is to walk before we run, which will be reflected in the contests hosted over the next few weeks.
Sincerely,
The FantasyDraft Team
#PLAYERSFIRST

Re: Bye Bye Fanduel, nighty night, Draft kings

Actually in a business like this, I think it helps that others have cleared the way to spend the money and create the industry . The online Fantasy BIZ didn't exist 3 years ago. Great article if you have never seen it http://www.bizjournals.com/newyork/...ings-are-we-seeing-the-future-of.html?s=print

Paying the players 6 degrees of referral fees is a very powerful proven business model. Players have no real loyalty ,they don't sign contracts or pay any membership fees.

I also know the largest stockholder in the company. Trust me, he wont fail . I already watched him take a startup, to a billion dollar company

They are here for the long term

Top 139 win in this $2500 guaranteed contest. $5 entry https://www.fantasydraft.com/play/highrollers

Level Playing Field







A hot topic in the daily fantasy sports industry lately has been the subject of multi-entry. Some ultra-wealthy big-time professionals have essentially flooded the large guaranteed prize pool (GPP) tournaments on other sites. In uncapped tournaments, these players will sometimes submit thousands of lineups while the casual player can only afford a few entries. Why do these players submit so many entries? Easy: because they are allowed to. It is already a challenge to play against other skilled players, but it is an even greater advantage when that player has 1,000 opportunities to win.
Luckily, FantasyDraft.com is where players come first… and not just the grinders. All players are welcome and encouraged to play on FantasyDraft, but multi-entry will be capped in all contests. This should assist in providing a level playing field for everyone. With entries capped, there is no reason to be discouraged playing any tournament due to feeling over-matched. Fantasy sports are supposed to be fun. Feeling like David going against Goliath definitely takes some wind out of the sails. Thanks to these entry-capping rules in place, that will never be the case on FantasyDraft.
So go get ready for the next slate of games, because FantasyDraft.com is where you have the best chance to win!

Re: Bye Bye Fanduel, nighty night, Draft kings

My apologies to anyone who jumped on the site last football season when they obviously we're having technical issues . Hopefully you will give them another shot as they are back in a big way with baseball, and gearing up for a big football season . Playing here, and spreading the word can be very profitable if the guys grow as big as I think they will

BY RICKY SANDERS · JULY 25, 2015
The key to sustaining profitability in daily fantasy sports is to continuously put your money in favorable situations. Play contests with larger payout percentages such as head-to-heads and 50/50’s, find overlay and play on sites with lower contest fees. What are contest fees? Contest fees are the percentage of the prize pool a website takes to pay for their cost of business. On FantasyDraft.com, the lowest percentage of contest fees is taken from the overall prize pool, so investing in contests constitutes as a continuously favorable situation.

FantasyDraft.com simply is where smart money goes to play. Why play the same contests on competing sites with a higher percentage taken? Over a long period of time, the difference can constitute as a night and day difference to a bankroll. It’s the equivalent of going to two separate restaurants where one makes you pay for the ketchup packets and one does not. If you keep choosing the restaurant that forces you pay extra for the packets, assuming you’re a ketchup connoisseur, soon you’ll have been nickle-and-dimed enough that it’s a legitimate expense. If you want the most profitable site to play on, choose FantasyDraft.com: Where players come first (and where they’ll never charge for condiments).
