Fantasy Baseball Coming April 6

ANNOUNCEMENT – Fantasy baseball coming soon as BlameMyFather partners with FanDuel for the upcoming 2015 MLB season.

FanDuel – the leader in one-day fantasy sports – provides fantasy baseball contests every day that games are played. FanDuel has been featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and Sports Illustrated.

Between me and you, I shunned fantasy football like the proverbial plague until this past season when I discovered FanDuel. I liked it for four reasons:

(1) There’s no season-long commitment. You can play only when you want.

(2) There’s no significant monetary commitment. You can play for as little as a dollar.

(3) You can win money every time you play – and at FanDuel you have a realistic chance to win. It’s not like playing the lottery.

(4) I don’t know about you, but I think I’m smarter than Chip Kelly when it comes to football – and smarter than Bruce Bochy or Ned Yost or Ryne Sandberg when it comes to baseball. So FanDuel gives me the opportunity to prove it.

So sometime last October, I started playing fantasy football at FanDuel – as did my favorite son and his girlfriend’s son. The kid’s a super genius. He took to it like the proverbial fish taking to water and became a student of the game. And we all enjoyed it. The experience gave us something to share every weekend and gave three generations a common theme to talk about.

When I learned that FanDuel is offering fantasy baseball, I was all in. Between me and you, I’m going to be learning as I go. Between now and the season openers, I’ll be posting how-to articles. When finished, I’ll compile them into a BMF Beginner’s Guide and make the guide available for free.

Off the top of my head, the first four lessons will look something like this:

#1 – Type of Contests

#2 – Scoring

#3 – Picking Your Contest

#4 – Picking Your Team

Subject to change, of course, as I learn more.

Once the season begins, I’ll post my daily plays and we’ll see if I’m smarter than Bruce Bochy or Ned Yost or Ryne Sandberg. Chip Kelly will have to wait his turn until next September when fantays football begins,

FanDuel is a one-day fantasy baseball league for money

√ There’s a salary cap for each contest. The players you want must fit under the cap.

√ You play for real money against other players – everyone using the same salary cap.

√ No daily commitment. Like I said, play if and when you want.

How to Play is as simple as 1-2-3

(1) Choose a contest from 1,000s in the FanDuel Lobby. You play against other users – or you can get your friends together and form your own league.

(2) Draft your team from the players available for that day’s games. Remember, you must fit your players under the salary cap.

(3) Watch real-time scoring as you go for the cash. If you finish in a top spot, you collect on the spot.
