2013 Fantasy Baseball, The Daily Fix: August 21, 2013
Football season is right around the corner and many are abandoning their fantasy teams and moving onto football. Draftkings gives you the opportunity to hit the escape button and start over each and every day. Rookie call ups are coming soon, so it is high time to get energized again for fantasy baseball.
Today, I’m playing in a Double Up! contest again. They range anywhere from a dollar to ten 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.
