Fantasy Baseball - fantasysportslive.com - Daily Sports Bets

I love fantasy sports.

Fantasy football and fantasy baseball are great ways to bet on your favorite sports. You keep in touch with old buddies and make new sports friends.

The problem many gamblers have with fantasy sports, though, is these wagers play out over an entire year. Making one single wager on a full season may not be enough juice for a hardcore gambler.

Also, fantasy baseball is a lot of work. You have to manage a fantasy team throughout an entire 162 game season, changing the starting lineup, making trades to plug holes and keeping track of the breakout players to add to your roster. One bet...six months of baseball...equals a lot of work.

But that's a thing of the past.

FANTASY SPORTS DOT COM

I've found a site where you can make daily wagers on fantasy sports. You can find it at fantasysportslive.com.

Every day, the bets reset. Pay to make a wager on the games that night. You fill out a starting lineup from the players playing in the games scheduled that night. If you place first, second or third on the wager, you make a lot of money.

fantasysportslive.com combines fantasy baseball with your standard sports betting. The great thing about fantasy betting is it's completely legal. Because the uigea created a carveout for fantasy sports, your bets on these games are legal. You can even pay through Paypal.

The game itself has another built-in advantage over regular baseball wagering. You aren't betting against a line set up by a Las Vegas expert. You are betting against a collection of guys, 1 to 9 players according to the game you choose. These guys aren't experts, but fans like you. So if you have a skill for picking fantasy match ups, you can rake in the money.

HOW FANTASY BASEBALL IS PLAYED

When you join a contest, you fill out a nine man roster. So you choose a pitcher and a position player from each of the positions. This is your baseball team for the night.

The position players receive points for hits, steals, runs, home runs and RBI's. The pitchers receive points for strikeouts and innings pitched, and ten points for a win.

Points are deducted for batter strike outs, losses for pitchers and those kind of negative stats.

THE SALARY CAP

Also, you can choose contests with a salary cap or no salary cap. A salary cap means you have a certain amount of monopoly money to buy players. Standard caps are $450,000 or $550,000, while players cost between $10,000 and $100,000 apiece. Their cost depends on past stats and match ups.

Right now, Alex Rodriguez is going for $170,000, though he is about the only player over 100 thousand I've seen.

I like the salary cap. I think that's the way you can separate yourself from the other players, by adding a couple of bargain sleepers to your roster, allowing you to afford Barry Bonds when other teams cannot.

And if you don't like all that salary cap mess, you don't have to. Either way, you fill out a roster of your favorite players. If they let you down one night, you get an entirely new group of players tomorrow night.

Try out this site. It's one of the first of its kind on the internet, but this is only going to get bigger.
