Looking for a way to pick up some bitcoin without forking over the cash?
FanDuel is out with a new Fantasy Sports game that is offering prizes in bitcoin.
Sports?
Cryptocurrency?
My two favorite things?
Check and check!
FanDuel is offering a free fantasy sports game targeted at the NFL playoffs.
How it works:
If you are familiar with Fantasy Football, you will pick this up right away.
Basically, how it works is contestants will pick players from the pool of available players and based on how they do in their real playoff game this weekend, you will get points.
The better they do the more points they will score for your fantasy team.
Each contestant will have a fixed budget with which to spend on his players for each game.
The better the player is projected to do, the more he will cost. It is not possible to pick all of the "best players" to fill out your roster so there will be some strategy involved to get the most out of your budget.
Then, once your roster is selected, it will be matched against thousands (millions?) of other lineups submitted from other contestants.
If your team happens to score the most fantasy points you win the prize!
What is the prize you may be wondering?
This is where things get a little interesting.
For the free game, the winner gets 1 bitcoin.
Yes you read that right, if you win a free fantasy sports contest that lasts one day, you could walk away with roughly $16k worth of value at current bitcoin prices.
Bitcoin for playing a sports game? It's too cheap not to play!
An example of a lineup that you might submit looks something like this:
This is my lineup that I have put together for submission.
Pretty cool eh!
They also have contests where you can pay to enter and win bigger prizes.

Nice... that is good promotion on their part! I signed up for No Limit Fantasy Sports recently so I am in a few fantasy football contests this weekend on that site to earn some No Limit Coins. Good luck this weekend!
You too man! I don't normally play these things, but when it's free and I can win a bitcoin, I'll give it a whirl :)
Who are your starters for your current teams?
I agree, FanDuel good thing to know appreciate the post @jrcornel 👍
I'm actually really frustrated with this. I mean I guess it's great for coin--but the contest is horribly unfair. 999,999 entries @ 3$ and only pays out 3 bitcoin???
I don't like sports that much, I hope games of other genres take this idea hah.
Thanks for the heads up! They are worried about losing market share to No Limit Fantasy Sports!
Nice. Thanks for sharing.
BTC going mainstream
Sounds great, will give an attempt.never been a good player so I may be wasting time
before i started reading, i actually thought its was going to be something difficult until i got to that part which clarify my thought..now i see its something easy and i want to get in the game😊.
Thanks @jrcornel, i really appreciate your nice work here in steemit
Yea, it's really pretty simple. Give it a try!
A free game making you stand a chance of walking away with one bitcoin?
Bro i will do this one, i know it's not that easy to win, but hey it's free.
Going to check it out.
Thanks for pointing this one out to us! As others have said, since it is free, it is too cheap not to play!
I joined yesterday will let you know how I do I'm pretty good at fantasy sports.
If you have a new bitcoin, I'll know :)
Nice
