Here are the seven easy steps you can follow in making a fantasy league on your own.

The first thing you should do in creating your own fantasy NBA league is for you to find and grab 10 to 12 persons to form your league. Actually you can have more numbers of teams, as many as you want or as few as you’d like but ideally 10 teams are good enough.

Second, you have to locate a website that will host your league. Yahoo is a popular choice for hosting a fantasy league. But you can also try others such as Rotoworld, Fox Fantasy Sports, Rotohog.com, ESPN Fantasy Games and Fantasy Factor. Avoid scam, go for reputable and well-known sites.

Then you have to pick up a commissioner for your league. The commissioner in charges will be the to settle dispute in your league, if there is any, Choosing a commissioner for your league is an important decision so be sure to take it seriously

The fourth step is to decide how you're going to manage your draft. The easiest way may be to randomly assign teams draft numbers and have them pick the best available on the board at the time.

Decide on your roster set up. Some teams play with as few as five players with one for each position or as many as fifteen players with two back-ups for each position.

Figure out which categories you're going to track. Perhaps your league is just going to track points, rebounds and assists or maybe you'd like to add steals and blocks to that list as well.

If you are planning to have a professional sports team on your own, whether to become the owner, general manager or the coach, planning and giving name to your fantasy sports team is very important. By giving name to your team, regardless of whether you start a football team, volleyball team, or basketball, you will be able to give your players the opportunity to benefit from an organized sporting event as well as feel proud of their team and their team name.

From funny names to ANY teams’ name, a name is a must-have in every fantasy sports. Here are some of the good ideas and tips you should keep in mind when providing a name to your fantasy sports team.

First, think “What makes a good team name?” Remember that those teams names can impart on your opponents fear,make them laugh or just asked what’s really behind the name. So, it is important that your team name sound good especially when you used it in a smack talk, and when we say smack talk, in sports, it refers to inflammatory comments by a particular team in order to insult, anger or annoy opponents. This smack talk usually happens when there is competition just like in fantasy sports.

Another way of naming your team is by giving a name that is after with your favorite pro or college team. Many people do this because it is quick, easy and show support for your team.

On the other hand, if you want to spend a little time on providing a name for your team and want it to be more creative, you can change the name up a little with similar words. For example, there's a guy in one of leagues who is a Detroit Lions fan so he names his fantasy team "Motorcity Maulers".

Also, you can name your fantasy sports team using the title or lyrics of your favorite songs and bands, sports phrases and quotes (e.g. "Just give me the damn ball", "He hate me", "They are who we thought they were"). It can also make good team or league name if you will be using the title of your favorite movie, TV show, current events or slang, your own name or nickname, girls team names (e.g. "Girl Power", "End Zone Divas" or Anything with the word "pink"), work and occupation related names.

Lastly, you can create a team for your name using your nationality or location. Where are you from? Something like "British Bulldogs", "Kiwis" or "Scottish Soccer Hooligans" are great, cool names. You can also use your city, street or neighborhood in your team same. Some examples include "Pine Street Punks", "Boston Bruisers" or "South Street Crew".

Remember, it's your team so have fun naming it. The name doesn't even have to make sense and you can always change it later. Some people changes their team name every week to trash talk their opponent.

It looks, feels, plays and pays like sports betting, why is fantasy betting legal then?

When the US government signed the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) into law in September 2006, they “carved out” three sub industries: lotteries, horse racing and fantasy sports. They deemed fantasy sports to be contests of skill rather than those of chance or luck. This paved the way for people to be able to legally pay entry fees and collect winnings on their fantasy sports games, allowing fantasy betting to be legal, making fans very happy. And now that the government is being strict in betting and casinos, taking down all websites that go with it, it is expected that followers of online betting and casinos will definitely move on to fantasy sports.

The law set forth certain criteria that define what constitutes a fantasy sports contest. These criteria include a fantasy contest that must involve at least two “real world” events, and the prize must be pre-determined prior to entry and cannot be based on the number of participants. A contest can be set up in such a way that both the number of participants required and the prize awarded are predetermined. A good example is, “This will be a 12-person contest with a $20 entry fee and a prize of $200.” If that contest does not reach the required 12 people, then it can be canceled before it even begins.

UIGEA never detailed the length of a fantasy contest, although fantasy sports are considered season-long journeys, partial season leagues have been formed in recent years. What’s been done is daily and weekly fantasy sports websites reduced the length of a season to a single day or a weekend. In some cases, you will even find contests that only involve a portion of the day’s games. These kinds of games gather lots of followers too, as some people don’t want or don’t even have time for season-long commitments. They just want to have fun or win money in a short period of time.

So now, you can proceed with confidence that you are not doing illegal as a player. Play and win contests with the comforting thought that you are dealing with real legit people based in the United States. There are sites that run daily or weekly fantasy sports contests. If you are just new in the world of fantasy betting, then you should choose these kinds of leagues. You don’t have to be in a season-long commitment here. Select your game, and then draft your team using current active players. When the day is over, so is the game. The winners are paid after. This is a skill-based daily fantasy sports game, not gambling.

If you want a gambling game that is legal, then you should consider being involved with fantasy sports betting. Most poker websites and online casino gambling has been taken down but rest assured that fantasy sports betting won’t come with them, for the sole reason that fantasy sports betting is completely legal.

It may come as a surprise to many but fantasy sports was specifically left out by the UIGEA, including lottery and horse racing so you can deal with this all you want without worrying whether what you are doing is legal or not. Better yet, you can even share it to your friends and even invite them to join in with you.

Sports is exciting but with fantasy sports, it’s even more exciting and enticing.

Here are the following things that you can indulge in when dealing with fantasy sports betting:

*Play as manager or supervisor of a team

*Join a league online through sites or organize one

*Get to see your favorite players from different teams play it for the win in your team

Fantasy sports is based on statistics and not luck, that is why people are enticed to play this game than anything else.

Fantasy betting is a very fun activity that you can take pleasure in if you are tired of simply watching. If your favorite fantasy betting sports is Football then you will need to know which fantasy football league suits you just by reading this article.

In order to enjoy fantasy betting football, you need to choose the right fantasy football league that matches your interests. This is why a few players out there would join multiple leagues because they enjoy a different challenge that types of fantasy football leagues offer.

The different types of fantasy betting football leagues vary in rules and scoring system. A keeper’s league has different rules from dynasty league, IDP league, high-performance league and so on.

Types of Fantasy Football leagues:

Different Scoring Systems

The scoring system is an important factor to consider when playing fantasy football. Here, the rules depend on the scoring system that the league you have joined follows.

Scoring also depends on the player, their positions and the value that the league has placed on these positions. Let’s say for example, in one league, a kicker can get 20 points if he hits a 55 yard field goal; in this league, head coaches are given a plus 10-point differential based on their performance. In yet another league, a Wide Receiver is important because they value these positions while other fantasy football leagues do not give much value to such a position.

That is why it is important to join the right fantasy football league that suits your preferences so you can enjoy the activity better.

Consider these fantasy football scoring systems:

Touchdown Style Rule

This is very simple and has been used for a long time. Players here get 6 points when your player gets a touchdown. Factors such as yardage are not given much importance. A QB here gets 4 points for throwing a touchdown. It is concluded that yardage runners are better than down runners here and a note can be taken that this one plays a bit of luck since no one can really tell who scores the in from the 1st yard out.

High-Performance Rule

Perhaps this is a favorite since it has been used most of the time. A player gets 6 points when he gets a touchdown. They also get a point for each yard gained. So, you get a lot of points, especially for players that do 10 yards rushing or receiving. This rule also rewards bonus points to players that reach yardage plateaus.

Point for Reception Rule

A bit similar to high performance rule but gives importance to WR and Tight Ends where in this type of fantasy football league, the value of the WR and TE is at par with the QB and RB.
