FantasySportsbook.com Launches Legal, Public League and Commissioner-based Fantasy Sportsbook Contest Site

FantasySportsBook.com has announced the launch of their 100% legal, public league and commissioner-based, fantasy based Sportsbook contest website. You can sign up and play for free using the same format found in the Las Vegas casino sportsbooks in a legal and safe manner. FantasySportsBook.com provides authentic odds, match-ups, and ability for players to pick the favorite, underdog, over, and under total score all in a user friendly point and click website.

“FantasySportsBook.com provides everyone, from the casual sports fan to the fantasy sports enthusiast, the ability to compete against each other in a fair, legal, and free environment, with the opportunity to win exciting prizes,” states Director of Operations and Founder, Eddie Murphy.

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” Big Screen TV, and XBOX game consoles. The company also is planning on adding more sports in the future and spreading the format in overseas markets.

In addition to the free public league, FantasySportsBook.com has launched the first authentic fully functioning commissioner-based fantasy sportsbook. This subscription-based product 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 Murphy.
Other contest and commissioner based formats in development include survivor and team fantasy sportsbook.

“As the fantasy sports industry continues to grow at a rapid pace, it’s great to see companies like FantasySportsbook.com introduce new and unique products that meet the demands of the fantasy player and sports enthusiast” says Fantasy Sports Trade Association President and SportsBuff.com Founder Jeff Thomas.“
