Promo video looks fantastic, who made it?

  Thanks for the comments! The video was made by iStrategyLabs in Washington, DC - they are an awesome design team!

    Are you one of the founders? I previously ran Draftmix.com, a fantasy football site (and YC Alum). I live in Ohio, so if we're ever near we should meet up.

Since it's not immediately clear from the link, just wanted to point out that FanGamb is a DreamIt Ventures startup from Philadelphia -- for more details, check out: http://technicallyphilly.com/2009/09/15/fangamb-fantasy-sports-and-gambling-come-together-in-addiction-inducing-glory http://technicallyphilly.com/2009/09/15/fangamb-fantasy-spor...

That intro video on the homepage is so good, it nearly got me excited about American sports! Very polished.

Does the winner get money, or is it just for fun?

  At this time FanGamb is not providing prizes. We've found that most users treat this like any other fantasy sports league or march madness pool where all players ante up something on their own. But all of that is handled offline totally separated from the site itself.

    Cool, thanks. Look forward to trying it.

Pretty cool concept. We considered doing something like this briefly. I'll be curious to see how this ends up, and wishing the founders well.

Looks cool. I've had this idea floating around in my head for a while, and have played around with it a bit but never really took it seriously. I'll have to check it out. Another example that proves ideas are nothing and implementation is everything. Good luck guys!
