Since many of our members are huge fans of Fantasy Football, I thought I'd share this. The National Football League (NFL) has become the first of the North American professional sports leagues to launch a pay-for-play fantasy sports League.The fantasy gambling concept, legal under federal law, will become available in 43 states.Entrance fees will vary from $4.99 to $124.99 with prizes that include top-of-the-line sports memorabilia.In offering the new game, the NFL must abide by state gambling laws.Gambling Insider suggests that the new format appears to be the NFL's attempt to harness a corner of the 'derivative' fantasy football market, whose revenue far outstrips its own.Forbes has valued the fantasy football market at $70bn, which is seven times that of the NFL's annual revenues.<a href="http://www.gambling911.com/football-news/nfl-launches-pay-play-fantasy-sports-leagues-072314.html" >source</a>
