Hello Fellow LeagueGaminger's, Well summer is coming to a close, the evenings are getting cooler and the days getting short, Fall is just around the corner and with it big changes. The same can be said for LeagueGaming. For the past 2 months the Admins have been huddling together to "re-invent" our site, to expand ourselves and the free services that only we can provide through our talents, skills and our great community of members. Our first major focus is to bring the real sporting world into LeagueGaming. For the past 2 and a half years we've mostly focused on sports games and tieing the two together is a no brainer. LeagueGaming is going to now data mine real life sports scores, stats and news and provide this content free to it's members. And With this data we will provide games and leagues for the whole community to interactive with. This area will be recognized as "Leaguegaming Sportsbooks". Under Leaguegaming Sportsbooks we will have 2 free services ready to launch in the next couple of weeks: -NFL Pick'em -NFL Survivor Some of you may remember the old "pick em" games that ran in the forums. We currently have this system completely automated and with all the bells and whistles one can come to expect from LeagueGaming. The NFL Pick Em will work like this: Each week every LG member will have the opportunity to wager 500 LG Dollars on the games for that week. They can bet as low as 1 LG Dollar or as high as 100 LG Dollars on a single game. They can bet on as many or as little games for that week as they wish. If the team they bet on wins (as well as beats the spread), they win double, (ie so if you bet 100 LG Dollars, you win 200 LG Dollars). LG Dollars are of course a fake currency and no real money is exchanged or needed to play. Season stats will be kept for each member so we can see who the true NFL genius's are on this site. In the future we will have "pickem" games for most major sports including NFL, NHL and NBA to name a few. The other service ready to launch with the NFL season is a survivor league (details to come soon). Below are some screen shots of the scoreboard for Leaguegaming Sportsbooks NFL Pick Em
Let's get it on! We're really excited about this and we think you will really, really enjoy this as well.
From the screenshots, you can see we've been testing it. It's been a blast already. Once it starts counting, I think it will be even more fun. Plus, you'll be given money at the beginning of every week so you will get to participate every week no matter how crappy you do. That will be good for me The thing I love, is it's being presented as every other 'league' here. Which means, there's a lot to it. If you look at the last image, you'll see what I mean 8) The second image is cool too because you can see what everyone else picked.
OOOOOOOOO, you guys have really out done yourselves this time. This is awesome. Junky is back in da house for some football. See ya all on the girdiron.
Look what I found outside Mr. EAGLE himself..... We are glad you can come back and participate even though I looked forward to beating you dont in NCAA. I will not win more than 3 games in madden this season. I will be working on getting him to do some work around here to, LOL
Is it possible to have the mouse pointer over the team(wager page) link you up to the teams depth chart(espn site or nfl team page)? Or any site that keeps stats of current year progress in running yards, passing yards, etc. for teams.
