ESPN not doing fantasy football for the XFL

Post by LeoNY »

XFLNewsHub had an article today that said that ESPN is not going to do fantasy this season. The XFL will be doing something called prop bets and that ESPN will be doing a streak for the cash feature on their site. Can someone fill me in on what this streak for the cash thing is?

Nothing is set in stone yet, but hopefully ESPN will feature weekly bets on the XFL. I think the goal is to build up the longest streak of correct picks and win monthly cash prizes. I've never bet on football, so I'm not sure how it works, but that's the basic idea.

I DO NOT understand why this league couldn't put together an accessible full-season head-to-head fantasy platform.

It would've been such an important factor (if marketed properly) for sustaining fan interest beyond regional niche following.

Is it really that expensive to develop and run these things??

Heck-- the original XFL had one way back in 2001,
when everybody was surfing the Information Superhighway with a dial-up connection.

Jeez.

I play streak for the cash. It's all sports, and you pick one game or prop bet at a time, if you win you build a streak. A loss will end your streak and put you on a losing streak. Longest streak of the month gets a monthly prize, as well as the most wins for the month. For what it's worth the two games tomorrow aren't on the board yet, but i'd imagine they'll be on there.
