HELP / FAQ
If you have additional questions, please contact support@fanbettor.com.
In traditional sports betting, you bet real money on the results of a game. At FanBettor, you don't bet real money and the object is to outscore opponents in a skill-based contest.
Our contests involve strategic decision-making, where participants must predict the outcome of professional sports games, manage risk with units, and consider strategies to beat the opponent(s). Each participant will have to visit the leaderboard to consider their next move.
At the start of a contest each player receives 500 units to place bets. Wager 10, 30 or a max of 50 units for each bet. Score the most units to win. Units are non-monetary, expire at the end of a contest and cannot be carried over to other contests or exchanged for anything of value.
Our scoring system is based on the results of non-monetary wagers on sports in a contest. At FanBettor, wagers mimic what would happen at a real sportsbook. For example, wager 50 units on a straight bet and score 50 points, lose and the player score drops 55 points. To see how all the bets work for each sport visit our How To Play section.
We offer 5 bet options - straight, 2 game tease, 3 game tease, parlay and action reverse. No moneyline bets here. Choose either the favorite, underdog, over or under. Please see contest levels for more on the bet options available.
Spread betting involves a point spread making the team most likely to win the favorite and the team most likely to lose the underdog. The favortie team give points (49ers -3), while an underdog gets points (Chiefs +3). Example: Bet the (49ers -3) and they must win by 4 points to cover the point spread. Bet the (Chiefs +3) and they can lose the game by 2 points and still cover the point spread. When you cover the spread you win your bet.
The over/under (O/U) is a prediction by the oddsmakers on the total number of points scored by both teams in a game.
After the game starts, click "bets" on the Results or Leaderboard page. Player bets for 1pm games show up at 1pm, etc.
Not required, however it can be a creative way to boost a players score.
In fantasy sports, the scoring system is based on the stats of real-life players drafted in a contest. At FanBettor, we gamify the sports betting experience. Our scoring system is based on the results of non-monetary wagers on sports in a contest.

Better than Fantasy Sports.

"I'm an avid fantasy player and I feel FanBettor is much better than fantasy sports. I don't always have the time to analyze all of the players and keep up with player injuries. Instead, I'd rather look at each game and place non-monetary bets while competing against other players in a much quicker manner. Overall, the thrill of my wins and losses on games and the time I save is priceless. By far the best way to get sports betting action! Absolutely fantastic way to play!"
