Imagine you’re watching the World Cup on TV
Instead of just watching, what if you can play along by having our OWN VIRTUAL World Cup team consisting of REAL-LIFE players that plays for you. You are like the MANAGER of the team
So, fantasy sport is an addictive game where you can own virtual sports team and OWN real-life sport players such as Ronaldo (football), Tendulkar (cricket) or Vettel (Formula 1) to play for your team.
Your fantasy team’s performance is decided based on performance of the real-life players when they compete in real-life sports events
