Stuff like NRL fantasy, SuperCoach, FPL where you are against the whole field and there’s less rivalry are a harder sell becuase they aren’t as social.

Stuff with a financial investment just discourages casuals, and people who might invest might just find getting on the punt easier.

I’ve got a core group of mates/work colleagues that will do various fantasy draft league (NFL, NRL, NBA, a few madmen have done MLB and NHL).. I also work with data daily, so it’s a biased sample

Interest as waned as we all get older though. Not being able to do a draft in person for Nearly Sport/NRLCeo doesn’t help either, thanks COVID

The other thing is Aussie sports don’t have the same stats culture as US sports. There’s no obsession on Moneyball like baseball or all the metrics in NFL… I mean they do exist, but as IP in-house for clubs and stats providers.

Even soccer is starting to promote awareness of OptaStats like expected goals.

Meanwhile cricket, which should be stats rich like baseball, experts still mention averages in limited overs cricket. The advanced metrics that are bread and butter to T20 franchises are barely on the radar of the viewers and pundits, and the data are locked away. That effects the fantasy sports side as well. An stats informed audience are more likely to gravitate to these side games

Just a quick check in though to say I’m still alive and if you see that T-shirts fella (forget his User) online, can you please tell him to DM me when he’s ready with all the sizes and orders for the 14 League Champions shirt so I can arrange him a PayPal.

My email is set to receive notifications.

Cheers,

So yesterday I get the following email from the same department.
" We’re writing to you again as we were informed yesterday that an audit of the NRL Fantasy prize winner data discovered an error. Unfortunately, the now corrected ranking shows you actually finished 8th on the Highest-value Squad ranking and we have to send the KFC vouchers to someone else. Our sincere apologies for dropping the ball. We are aware that this stuff up is likely to result in some pain at your end. To help alleviate that somewhat and thank you for being a good sport and a long-time NRL Fantasy man, we’ve attached a $250 NRL Shop voucher. Working out how to spend it should be easy, but do let us know if you have questions. "

Cheers
NRL F&T

Not sure whether to be thankful for the $250 gift certificate, or be pissed off as I was promised $500 worth of KFC a few times.
Also after checking the website I'm still listed as first on the rankings so I'm a bit confused as well.  Any ideas on what response I should send them if any ?
