Of course we’ll need a little bit of positive variance, but we can also draft both teams and individual players in a way that gives us a leg up in those ever important playoff weeks. Navigating our way through those 3 playoff rounds is tremendously tough. We know that we’ll likely get a fair clip of teams through that 1st round just by law of averages, but after that is where it gets difficult. Just by random chance (and assuming average skill), you should advance about 16% of your teams out of that 1st round. On the flip side, in order to simply make the playoffs, you just have to finish in the top 2 of your 12 team league. Despite the fact that it spans over the course of the entire NFL season, it’s much more like a DFS contest than your standard home fantasy league with your buddies.Īs you saw above, nearly all of the money is in the final round, but only 470 teams make it there (about 0.1% of all teams).

There’s even a 100% FREE discord community for you to talk strategy, get draft feedback and much more with other sharp best ball players.īut from a general strategy standpoint, BBM3 is very unique relative to any other contest in the fantasy football space. The Spike Week team brings you countless strategy articles, Player Picks, and Innovative Best Ball Tools to help you crush your drafts. You can find anything and everything Best Ball strategy at our Best Ball partner site, Spike Week. We must defeat every single one of them in order to walk away with the $2 Million. But this time we have 15 opponents that we must beat in week 16 of the season to finish first and advance to the finals in week 17.įinally, in week 17, 470 total teams advance to the final round.
Now we are into round 3, where again we are facing other teams that advanced from round 2. We compete against that group in just week 15, and we must finish 1st that week in order to advance again. That takes us to round 2 where we compete against 9 other (10 total) teams that also advanced out of their round 1 draft group. We must finish in the top 2 of that group to make the Best Ball playoffs. That group is who we compete against during the “regular season”, or weeks 1-14 of the NFL season.
Of course, we want to have high scoring teams, but the format is a bit different than that.įirst, we draft our squad in a draft of 12 total teams. The goal in this tournament is not just to have the highest scoring team over the course of the season. If you have not played best ball on Underdog before (the format is also largely the same on DraftKings Best Ball), you may not be familiar with their Playoff format. We’ll discuss more below about how we can capitalize on that to maximize our chances at the big bucks. Even making it to round 3 only guarantees you a total of $75 ($50 profit) on your $25 entry fee. The final round is ultimately where we should set our goals, as that is where the majority of the money is made. A “min cash” nets you just $35, or $10 of profit. 40% of the prize pool goes to 1st place, 2nd place and the regular season champion. Those are extremely fun numbers to see, but it’s also important to note the top heavy nature of the tournament. Even finishing in 2nd place will net you 7 figures. Payout StructureĮven more than the $10 Million prize pool or the $2 Million top prize, maybe the most remarkable aspect of Best Ball Mania 3 is that not 1, not 2, but 3 (!) millionaires will be crowned in just this one tournament. What are the other rules? How do we win this thing? Let’s dive in. On top of that, Underdog is rewarding the drafter who scores the most regular season points in the entire contest with a cool $1 Million. All this for just $25 per draft (150 max entry). The largest contest, both this summer and of all time, in Best Ball is Underdog Fantasy’s Best Ball Mania 3.īest Ball Mania 3 (or BBM3 for short) was released in early May with a groundbreaking $10 Million Prize Pool, and the largest top prize in Best Ball history – $2 Million. As of this writing, we have already had nearly $20 Million of total prize pools released across the NFL Best Ball space, and it’s only late June. This summer of 2022 NFL Best Ball offers the biggest fantasy football contests of all time. (ebeimfohr) Created 2 weeks ago, Last Updated 3 days ago
