You wouldn't have stumbled upon this site unless you were at least a wee bit curious about the Daily
Fantasy game that seem to be sweeping the Fantasy Universe. You can try it out for free without any cost or obligation on many of the sites that are out there. Here's a run down of what's what by amount you can win without forking over any of your good hard cash. In nearly all of these games the odds of winning aren't too high, but "hey, what do you want for nothing?" They are good ways to get the feel for the game.
DRAFTDAY.Com
Has several interesting DFS type games daily. The Perfect Lineup game has you choose the best player at each position without salaries and if you get all positions perfectly right, you win $1 Million Dollars. The top 10 finishers earn a $5 entry into another tournament. They have a 400 Club Game where $100 can be own if you are the only one to hit 400 points with your lineup. If more than one team does it, they divide the $100 equally among them. The site also offers a Pick 'Em game and a Freeballin' game where you can win $1 if you come in first place, with Quarters handed out to 2nd through 16th in the latter game. Free account signup required.
VICTIV.COM
By Far the most generous free games to the average player. When you sign up, they give you 5 free Bankroll Builder games, where you play a head to head game versus a computer generated opponent. If you win, you get a $5 ticket to play in any 5 dollar game. As you only have to win one game against one opponent, this is by far the easiest way to start in DFS without any money. Win this you can enter a high payout tourney,or a $5 50/50 if you just want to grow your bankroll. They also offer a daily Change Up Starter Free roll, where they give away $12.50 daily to the top 50 participants at a Quarter a piece. Free account signup also required.
DRAFTKINGS.COM
This is my favorite site, but the free games for cash is one place it is lacking. They run several free tournaments daily where you can win what they call a Step 1 ticket, and that only goes to the top five players. This is an entry into a 4 Step contest, where the winner in the 4th Step gets $200. This is more for getting a feel for the way they game is played on the site, rather than getting starter money. Free account required.
YAHOO.COM
They are new to the DFS World and you probably already have an account there. They are currently running a Daily Free Roll where they pay out the top 25 of as many as 10000 entrants $100, including $30 to first place. Healthy payouts long odds. But a decent place to tip your toe in the water. The photo at right is the best I've ever done here. Account Required.
FANDUEL.COM
Offers no published daily games for money, only what they call "Free Practice" for no money. However, if you create an account, you will get an invitation to 2 or 3 limited space free rolls a month. The last one I entered paid out $1000 to the first place finisher, who by the way, wasn't me.
This one isn't exactly a true DFS game, but it follows similar principles, and the payout is
too good be be ignored.
MLB.COM's BEAT THE STREAK
very simple idea, pick a batter or two a day who you think will get a hit that day. If you get it wrong, start over. If you get it right a number of times that exceeds Joe DiMaggio's 56 game hitting streak, they will pay you $5.5 Million Dollars Not true DFS Baseball, but a nice free way to start to understand the process of picking hitters on a daily basis. No one has ever done this in the 15 year history of the game, but maybe you could be the first. Does require setting up a free account with MLB.com.
