Turning Green to Gold with Underdog Fantasy's Streaks Game
One of the wildest ways to win 1,000x your entry fee is here and we think you're going to love what Underdog Fantasy is bringing to the table.
Underdog Fantasy, one of the biggest DFS platforms known for its innovative approach to fantasy sports, has launched a new feature called "Streaks: The Road to Greatness."
This game offers DFS players a unique way to test their skills and potentially win big. We’re not just talking a few extra bucks in your wallet like an odds boost or something, we’re talking 1,000x your entry. It might not be life-changing, but even on a $5 entry, that $5,000 is nothing to scoff at.
The Excitement of Streaks
Streaks brings a fresh twist to the typical fantasy sports pick ‘em experience.
It starts with a simple 2-pick entry. This entry can be anything from choosing a player to hit a certain number of points, rebounds, or any other statistic open at the time of your pick. Remember, you have to pick either two players or two different stats on the same player. Once your 2-pick entry hits, your Streak begins.
This is where the fun really starts. After the initial success, you need to continue making pick-1 entries. Each successful entry extends the Streak by 1 more. The goal is to hit 10 consecutive entries, with the first being the initial 2-pick entry and the following 9 being individual picks. That’s a total of 11 correct picks. It sounds simple, but the challenge lies in maintaining that perfect Streak. If you’ve played on Underdog Fantasy before, then you know that some players can be relatively unpredictable.
How to Play and Win
Getting started is easy. To get in on the action, all you need to do is make your first 2-pick entry. This could be on any sport, player, or stat you can find in the lobby.
If both picks are successful, you've got the green light to start your Streak. Don’t worry about opting in, as you’re automatically opted in after that initial win.
Each subsequent pick needs to be carefully considered, as one wrong move can end your run. The stakes get higher as you progress, with each correct pick bringing you closer to the ultimate prize. Imagine the heartbreak when you’re on a streak of 8 or 9 only to see Max Scherzer busting your Streak by going big on Ks.
In our opinion, the most thrilling aspect of Streaks is the reward for those who can go all the way. If you’re lucky enough and strategic enough to hit all 11 picks in a row, you'll win 1,000 times your entry fee. That's not a typo. A perfect streak can turn a modest $10 entry fee into a $10,000 payday. That’s enough to make a dent in your car payment or even a family European vacation. The sky’s the limit.
The biggest downside we’ve come across for this new game is that it’s only available on their iOS app. Based on their past games, we think Underdog Fantasy will release Streaks on their native Android app sometime in the next week or two. Stay tuned for that.
Strategies for Success
To succeed in Streaks, you need more than just luck. Though, a little luck is nice to have around.
It really boils down to a blend of knowledge, strategy, and sometimes a bit of gut feeling. If you’ve ever played a pick ‘em game on any DFS platform then you know what we mean. Never disregard your gut.
Beyond that, here are a few tips we have to help you build your Streak.
Stay Informed
One of the keys to success is staying informed through research and analysis. This is so important but oftentimes overlooked by casual players. Keeping up with player performances, injuries, and matchups can give you a competitive edge over the house. The more you know about the sports and players involved, the better your chances of making the right picks. All you need is 11 correct picks — you got this!
Pace Your Streak
Another important strategy is pacing. Since there's no time limit on how long it takes to complete your Streak, you don’t need to rush through it.
You can and should take your time to research and make well-informed picks.
This is really important as you get closer to the end of your Streak, where the pressure to win 1,000x your entry fee becomes intense. You don’t want to make it that far, only to falter at the finish line.
Tread Lightly
It's also essential to be cautious but not overly conservative. While it might be tempting to always pick the safest options, sometimes taking a calculated risk can pay off. We’ve all seen what we thought were the sure-shot picks fall flat at the end of the game. It happens from time to time. The balance between playing it safe and taking risks is what makes Streaks so engaging.
Taking Your Shot at Greatness
Underdog Fantasy's Streaks game has quickly captured the imagination of DFS players on their platform. It’s fun to think about what you’d do with a windfall like that.
Its combination of simplicity, strategy, and high rewards makes it an exciting and lucrative addition to the platform. Whether you're looking to test your knowledge or just enjoy the thrill of the game, Streaks offers a new experience for everyone.
