Together with the internet rapid grow and popularity, the fantasy sports have become well-known too, and these include the fantasy basketball or also known as fantasy NBA.With fantasy NBA game you can be able to organize your own team of real NBA player onto a team. A winner is determined by how you control your own team against the other fantasy teams. There are easy steps to play fantasy NBAFirst, learn the format for NBA fantasy basketball. A fantasy league is made up of "owners" who draft real NBA players onto their teams, track the real life stats of the players on those teams and manage those teams during the season.Second, since there are many fantasy NBA leagues to choose from find one that intrigues you.Third, study the player stats, who plays where, what players have changed teams and how that will impact their statistics.Next is to do the draft. Rank your players for the draft.Fifth step is to pay close attention to the NBA; know how your players are performing, work to improve your team all season, make trades with other teams, claim players that are on waivers or are free agents.Lastly, enjoy every game. Learn how you can improve every year.In a fantasy NBA, you also have to learn the different categories to be used for your league. An assigned commissioner is the one who chooses the categories to be used; it is important that it was chosen carefully to maintain a fair weight for all positions.A Fantasy NBA leagues usually track 3 to 11 categories which are as follows:• For fantasy NBA league with 3 categories it is typically involves NBA statics for points, rebounds and assists.• For fantasy NBA league with 5 categories it usually consists of points, rebounds, assists, block and steals.• For fantasy NBA league with 8 categories it involves points, rebounds, assists, blocks, steals, free throws, 3 point field goals or goal percentages• For fantasy NBA league with 9 categories it includes points, rebounds, assists, blocks, steals, free throw, 3 point field goals or goal percentages and the additional turnovers category.• There are some sites that accept the foul statics as a category but this is very rarely. On the other hand, there are also leagues that focuses more on rebounds, then break it into two types: defensive rebound and the offensive reboundAmong these categories, most leagues use the eight statistical categories in compiling their league rankings. Why it needs to determine what categories your league uses? This is to be able to totally stats for your team’s point total. For example, in a 10-team league, 10 points would be awarded to the manager who has the highest number in a specific category, down to one point to the manager with the lowest number in that category. The steps are repeated for other statistical categories to give each manager a total number of points. Those points determine the fantasy league's overall standings.

There are actually so many fantasy sports contest around the globe that you can participate to. In fact, there are now over 20 million Americans playing nationwide in this growing industry, and many people still wants to join a fantasy league. Interested now? Well, there are so many sports site where you can join but prior joining it is important that you know first the kind of fantasy sports league you are joining, and here the most common of them:The first and most recommended fantasy sports kind, I believe, is the Single-Season Fantasy League or also mentioned to as a "single-year" league. The good thing about this kind of league is that, it refreshes every year. Every year new drafts are being held prior to upcoming seasons, no teams, rosters or any information from the past is carry over. These traditional leagues follow a single-year format only and are the most common type league in fantasy sports today. If you would like to start fresh every year with entirely new group of players, this is just so right for you.Dynasty Fantasy League or also referred to as a "total-keeper" league. A kind of league that is most suitable for serious owners only. Why? Because most of the owners of these leagues are fantasy sports fanatics; owners that loves and enjoy managing their teams both during off-season and regular season. The mechanics for this kind of league is different from the first one. After the season has end, each team's entire roster is carried over through the off-season. However, they can still do swapping of teams or acquired new players as well during a series of off-season draft rounds, but a large number of the team is kept in place from year to year.Another kind of fantasy sports league is the Rollover Fantasy League or also known as “partial- keeper”. From the word itself, each team can keep a set number of players at the end of each season to be on their roster for next year. This is just so perfect for the owners who enjoy the draft part of fantasy sports, but wants to keep a nucleus of players from year to year. Also, for owner that wants to start out slowly to see if he/she enjoys keeping some of their players on a year to year.The newest type of fantasy sports league, the one day Fantasy League, is another enjoyable and enticing kind of league. You can win prizes everyday in this kind of league. No season long commitment, no bars. This is where starter can enjoy fantasy sports.You can try whatever kind of fantasy sports league you prefer. But if you are new, better start with the Single-Season Fantasy League. But if you do decide to join a dynasty or rollover league, just be prepared enough for your initial draft as these are players you are likely to have on your roster for several years.

You’ve been keeping tabs on every big moves in the nba sports world so that when you finally draft your fantasy team, you are confident that you know which players to pick. If you are prepared then you won’t have a hard time when draft day comes. You’ll be calm and confident but this isn’t the reality for most people unfortunately. There are those who fail in their preparation and in the long run lose the game.As the NBA preseason kicks off, many of you will be preparing for your fantasy NBA drafts. Most of you will be doing live and auto-pick drafts online, while a few will be participating in the coveted offline draft. No matter what format you play, you will need a strategy so you can be successful against the ever-improving “average fantasy player.”Rank the playersThe first thing to do is to establish your personal player rankings. Create a top 10 list to make it easy for Point Guards, Shooting Guards, Small Forwards, Power Forwards and Centers as well as the next-best players list and guys to not sleep on for each position. Try to add a sleepers list from all teams too.In rankings, use the previous stats of players from last season or last year, lines from their entire career, their averages and also evaluating how much untapped potential the player has. You should also look at their injury history. Does the player misses games each year or he has a nagging injury? How easy is it for the player to come back from injury? This will definitely give you a better picture of the player. Do not choose a player because he is your favorite, intuition and favoritism are one of the plagues that will weigh you down on your victory. A technique here is to not look at the names of players when looking at their stats, some fantasy managers would solely look at stats of a player and they would ignore the name. You can try that one too.In fantasy NBA, most players are allowed to play multiple positions so don’t worry that you wound up with a team of small forwards since some of them can play shooting guards and some can also play power forward. You should concern yourself more with the talents of each player. Rank your players position in order to give you a broader scope. There is also trading if in case you wind up overstocked at one position.

There are many hardcore sports devotees who are good with sports facts and their numbers aching to try out fantasy betting. After all, with a nice grasp on sports statistics and handicapping it should be easy to win, right? Oddsmakers set betting lines based on what the uninformed betting public knows. How hard can it be to pick winners better than the betting public?Sadly, getting a positive outcome in sports betting is not that easy. All it takes is one person who is a lot better informed than you do and you’re up for a difficult climb. Not only is the best handicapper likely to be betting the maximum amount allowable at any sportsbook they frequent, but differences in the odds from one sportsbook to another are quickly eliminated as line shoppers arbitrage away any significant differences.If you are an expert in sports analysis and want to earn a profit from this knowledge, is there an easy way to do this? Yes, there is, and this new legal form that just came out recently has started to create a buzz in the sorts betting world. A good number of daily fantasy betting sites have emerged, and they all share a number of advantages over traditional sports betting.Here are a few things about fantasy betting to help you get started.• Fantasy betting is legal. It has been specifically excluded from laws that prohibit sports betting, making it entirely legal.• Transactions can be done through credit cards or via PayPal, and money is easily withdrawn via check. There are no hassles and uncertainties when doing money transactions from gambling sites.• Because the games are based on the performance of individual players, a larger variety of games are available.However, don’t get the wrong idea because these are not like your traditional fantasy games. Rather than having your money tied up for a full season, most of these games last just for one day. You pick a team for the day, and results are based on the performance of your players that same day. The games can range from heads up (two players) up to 100 players or more. The sites that host the contests have the look, feel, and the business model of online poker sites.Here are some features that set apart the different fantasy betting sites.• A wide range of user interfaces.• Salary cap format games. Some sites also offer live draft games where player selection follows a traditional fantasy sports draft.• Different rake values, from as high as 20% to less than 10%.• A variety of sports available. Most sites offer baseball, football, and basketball. Some also offer hockey and NASCAR racing.• Chat features that give some fantasy betting sites more of a communal feel than others.
Together with the internet rapid grow and popularity, the fantasy sports have become well-known too, and these include the fantasy basketball or also known as fantasy NBA.
