The fantasy playoffs officially began yesterday for most people playing full season leagues. That means many of our seasons were effectively over. I do have to compliment one of the commissioners I have a privilege to play with. He set up the league years ago to require players to win the consolation bracket to get the first overall pick in the next year’s draft. It was a brilliant idea because it keeps people like me (I finished 10 of 12) involved over the last three weeks. Otherwise, I would have phoned it in faster than you can say NFL Sunday Ticket.

Others among you are definitely tempted to pack it in and call a season. I feel your pain. I’m involved in three leagues and two of them went the way of the dinosaur. Fortunately though, I still have a few weeks of daily fantasy baseball to whet my appetite before we crawl under our collective rocks for the winter. I’m one of the few lost souls that prefer fantasy baseball to fantasy football. I enjoy football as much as any red-blooded American, but baseball has always been my first love and it always will be that way. So, I keep pulling the lever for another day of daily fantasy baseball.

Today, I’m playing in a Double Up! contest again. They range anywhere from a dollar to over 100 dollars, but each works the same way. If you finish in the top half you get almost twice as much as you put in. Naturally, DraftKings gets their cut because they have to pay their employees, the light bill, and make a little for their trouble. That being said, they are very generous to those that start playing as they will give you a deposit bonus you can access here.
