New company to offer contest-based Fantasy SportsBook

FantasySportsBook.com launched today, with contests that offer the public the ability to sign up and play for free using the same format found in the Las Vegas casino sportsbooks in a legal manner.

The website keeps track of all the picks and balances via a leaderboard format and offers cash prizes each week to the players with the highest winning balance. The grand prizes based on the total season winning balances earns a trip to championship game for each sport including NFL, NCAAF, NBA, NCAAB, and NHL, 65-inch Big Screen TV, and XBOX game consoles.

The site also offers a subscription-based league product that works like the traditional fantasy format where a commissioner subscribes, sets the rules (including fictional bankroll and betting requirements), then invites their buddies. “Our Commissioner Fantasy Sportsbook offers a truly unique experience for those players who want to compete in an environment where they don’t risk any real money, while getting the real Las Vegas sportsbook experience. Players can even place parlays and teasers, using flexible bet amounts,” says president Eddie Murphy.
