    Default Idea (i know theres a million of these threads just want yourview

    Is there any sites that will hold your money in fantasy sports then at the end of the season award the winners of the league there winnings? That way you can play with strangers and you dont always have to play with your friends?

    Thanks

    I think it's considered gambling if you play against others, although most would argue it involves a large amount of skill. There are leagues you can join that you pay an entry into, and have the opportunity to win money as a prize, but I'm sure you already know about those. Here's one.

    I wont be running any fantasy game i would (or my site) would just hold the money. If you saw a league you wanted to play in but it was all random people and it was 50 or 100$ you wouldnt send the league GM that money cause you dont trust them. So instead send it to the site we hold it at the end of the season we pay the winners out.

    From traffic you could make a ton of money and if you charge idk 5% or 1% of the buyin for each league.

    Are you asking rhetorically or requesting others do the research for you?

    Clenjamin, do it! You would just be an escrow company essentially. Research how to start an escrow company and post here with your results.

    Good luck - sounds like a cool idea. Although some other sites are doing it find out if you can compete with them; check compete.com and see how much traffic those sites are getting. Is there something you can do better than the competition?

    Great news only two sites out there are Welcome to Fantasy Sports Vault and LeagueSafe | Simple, Secure, Free Fantasy League Finance Management

    the vault site has less then 500 visitors so thats good and the league safe had false info on there site.

    Lets see what i can do ill keep everyone updated if anyone has any ideas or suggestions let me know.
