Читать книгу Fantasy Football For Dummies - Martin A. Schulman - Страница 52

Although fantasy football offers many different types of games for you to choose from, before you choose a specific league, you need to ask yourself one basic question: Do you want to play in a public league or in a private league? When you answer this question, also ask yourself what type of environment you want to play in. The answer may be quite simple. Your cousin Bo may have asked you to play with him and his buds, which in that case means you join Bo’s private league. However, if you don’t know anyone and want to play fantasy, then you need to look into a public league.

You can find both public and private leagues that are free or that have entry fees. This section explains the two major types of fantasy football leagues, the free and pay versions of both, and discusses their pros and cons.

If you're not joining a private league with friends and family, but want to enjoy the rush of competing, then you might want to try Best Ball Contests or play Daily Fantasy Football. Committing to a public league for a full season can sometimes be a bore if the other coaches are not social or give up early in the season. I'll explain more on how Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) work in Part 4, but it's really suited for online solo play, no rivals needed!
