BetFirstClass Wagering Innovation for Fantasy Football

The Judge · #1 08-14-2009, 08:50 AM

That’s right folks, Michael, the owner of BetFirstClass has decided to join the Fantasy Football frenzy for his first time this season and will offer an opportunity for BetFirstClass players to put together their own team each week and then wager on their respective head-to-head matches. LOL, a couple of weeks ago this guy admitted to me that he had never participated in a Fantasy league and now he wants to take on all comers.

So, each and every Friday morning at 8:00 AM ET throughout the NFL season, Mike will post his Fantasy team for that week in a new thread here at CappersMall. At that time, all BFC players are welcome to assemble their own Fantasy teams using the entire NFL roster with the exception of the players on Mike’s team for that week. NFL players who played in any Thursday night game will be ineligible.

Anyone who wants to create their own Fantasy team and compete against Mike each week, will be required to email a list of their players for that week to BetFirstClass. The emails must be received no later than 10:30 AM ET, each Sunday. All emails received will be responded to indicating that their roster has been received.

Wagering will be offered at BetFirstClass where each player can wager a minimum of $25 up to a maximum of $300, that their Fantasy team will outscore Mike’s team. There will be no exceptions made for these wager limits.

A full set of rules for this challenge will be posted within the next week but they will mirror almost exactly what can be found on the NFL.com Fantasy Page with some obvious adjustments to accommodate BetFirstClass’s Fantasy wagering format.

I have to believe that even with Mike selecting his team first each week, there are probably quite a few Fantasy experts who should be able to do very well with this wagering option.

More to come in the days ahead and we are also interested in hearing suggestions and opinions on the proposed format so that we can fine tune this new wagering concept before the NFL regular season gets under way.

Judge, I know you had this posted in Bettor's mall for a while, so just wondering when the rules will be posted. Is it a week from this new post or can we expect them sooner?

Yeah, I'm sorry I have not gotten around to posting the rules but I promise to get to it this weekend. We have been very busy thanks to the flood of new customers as everyone is getting ready for football but I have to take the time to finalize this and will do so by Sunday.

I am open to any suggestions that you Fantasy guys might have so please feel free to share your ideas.

this is in addition to the teams

pretty basic but player vs player, ideally same position but also some wr vs rb props

use the basic fantasy point system vs the usual type props

then create a 2 way line and a spread for the matchup

example

Larry Fitzgerald vs Randy Moss

Fitz -160 and -4 points -105

over/under 54 points
