Insure Your Fantasy Football Players? (1 Viewer)

[just_want_2_win]

While researching something totally unrelated, I just read about a site called Fantasy Sports Insurance.com, which provides insurance for your fantasy football player -- well, at least the major ones on your roster. Rather than recap the entire concept, here, I'll direct you to FSI's FAQ page: http://www.fantasysportsinsurance.com/fant...ports-faqs.html

I can't speak as to the product as I have not tried it. Have any of you have tried it already, say in big money leagues? Is this bogus or legit? Would you, as a commissioner, inform your owners that pay in about such a product?

at this. Wish I had thought of this nonsense.

too bad it's not the entry fee I get mad about losing.

btw if you want to knock these guys out of business offer insurance with "bust" coverage as well.

They allow pre-existing conditions....?

Seriously...I think that coming up with a forum to discuss fantasy football 15 years ago was smart...this is ingenious.

Solid 'prey on the stupid' idea.

This is strange, let me throw a twist on this....they are calling it fantasy insurance for your "player".....

This has nothing to do with "your" player, or if you even own him as they do not have to verify in any way shape or form that you have a team using that player. This has to do with 50 players they select to allow coverage on.

This is BETTING ON AN INJURY, not insurance for a fantasy football game.....this is amazing! un frikin believable. This is not fantasy sports insurance. what a sham.

Its funny how this thread pops up every year with about the same level of surprise.

These guys must be doing some poor marketing.
