Play Our CB Exclusive Week 1 $250 Draft Kings Contest, Beat Me and Win a T-Shirt
Draft Kings is running two great contests for Week 1, and you should participate in both.
First up is the $10 million event you’re hearing about everywhere. It’s $20 to enter and thousands of people will win real money, with the first-place finisher earning $2 million. I believe it’s their biggest contest ever. You can enter here.
But that’s not all.
For those of you who’d prefer not to enter the big contest and spend $20 for a chance to become a millionaire… perhaps you’ll like your odds a bit better in our CB exclusive Week 1 league. Details:
- Week 1 games starting after 1 p.m. on Sunday (no Steelers-Patriots on Thursday night)
- Standard Draft Kings lineup: 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 Flex, 1 defense-special teams
- $5 to enter
The top 18 finishers win money:
But that’s not all: Anyone who finishes ahead of me – handle bdncb1 – wins a free t-shirt from the Crossing Broad Store in the way of a $25 promo code, courtesy of Draft Kings, who is picking up that bill as well.
There are only 50 spots available, so reserve yours soon (you can reserve your spot without picking your team).
Enter the CB Week 1 league
…
These are no-brainer contests. The Eagles don’t play until Monday Night Football, so give yourself some Sunday rooting interests. Drop $25 into a Draft Kings account, sign up for the big payday, and then use the remaining $5 to compete against me and other CB readers.
Why Draft Kings? Simple: Figure the average real fantasy league costs about $150 to enter. You can essentially play Draft Kings for an entire season (with two of your very own bye weeks!) by spending an average of $10 per week and giving yourself more chances to win, more entertainment, and a much better experience (following along in their real-time mobile app, which is a must-download). Play $5 10 different weeks, and then $10 five other weeks, and go all-out two times at $25 per week (let me recommend Week 1 and Thanksgiving week). That’s $150 for the season, and you will have given yourself many chances to win varying amounts of cold, hard cash. Pair your investment with RedZone. No joke– you’ll get so much entertainment out of the $215 or so you’ll spend on Draft Kings and RedZone (not counting potential winnings!), especially when you consider all the prime time and late games the Eagles play this year. I’m not blustering here– daily fantasy and RedZone last year made non-Eagles Sunday afternoons so much better.
