$5,000 in Prizes for a $2 Entry Fee
What a great way to start Week 3 — click to join the $5K Shot, a tournament that costs just two bucks to enter and will pay out five thousand in cash. First place gets $700, second $400 and there will be 250 prizes awarded. That’s right, finish 250th and you win $6.00, triple the entry fee.
My luck in Week 2 was all bad, finishing on a four-day losing streak that wiped out the $100 bankroll. It’s a learning experience. I’m new enough to the game that mistakes are inevitable, and one ‘bad habit’ may be using players after they get hot, hoping they stay that way. Of course, it’s harder to predict who is about to heat up, but those are the players who outperform their salaries. That’s why daily leagues are so challenging.
