Right now, you can qualify into DraftKings.com’s $150,000 NBA fantasy contest for just $5. The “Bank Shot” contest is one of the biggest daily NBA contests ever offered.
Great poker players trust their instincts, are disciplined, and are always looking for value and the best odds of success, whether it be at the table or online.
So what's this $150K Bank Shot Tournament all about? The contest will run on March 27th, and there will be qualifiers every day leading up to the big event.
Daily fantasy contests give you the chance to really focus in on the matchups and find the best possible value out there with your player selections. You start with a $50,000 salary and have to select eight players. You pick a point guard, a shooting guard, a small forward, a power forward, a center, one guard, one forward and a utility player. Many players are eligible at multiple positions, giving you the necessary flexibility to tinker with your roster until you are completely satisfied. This is one of the many elements that really separates DraftKings from other daily fantasy sites.
If you hope to finish in the money, you need to find the undervalued players and then use the extra money to get the “guaranteed” studs into your lineups.
If you get your roster right, it'll be worth the investment. Why? The prizes are legit. First place will take home a cool $50,000 on March 27, while second ($20,000) and third ($10,000) will also get rewarded handsomely. But that's not all: the Top 100 finishers will win at least $400 in cash, so you have an excellent chance of getting paid. That is, if you actually know your stuff.
We're sure you understand how qualifiers work, so here's a small breakdown of what DraftKings has set up for the $150K Bank Shot Tournament:
$22 Qualifiers with 10 entries
Obviously the second option gives you the best odds of earning yourself a coveted ticket into this huge tournament. You can always buy a direct ticket ($200) to the contest, but these qualifiers are a terrific way to get your seat without shelling out a lot of money.
So don't waste any more time. Use that poker savvy of yours and try to outwit the fantasy-sports world. Get in the qualifiers, win a slot into the contest, and have a great time drafting.
