MLS....come to STL!!!
Last year he made the playoffs in 24 of 38 leagues (8 dynasty, 30 redrafts). Made the championship game in 7, the 3rd place game in 5, and lost in the first round in 12. All of them are pay leagues, but most of them are $25 or under.
that blows my mind, I'd rather play in ~10 leagues at $100/ea than 38 leagues at $25-ish a pop
once I started pouring hours into it throughout the week and offseason, got to have a little higher stakes than that to rationalize the time spent on the hobby
pretty much all of my leagues are in the 50-200 range tho, so I don't go crazy high stakes at all. Now that I keep having kids, the goal in a good year is to cover entry fees and xmas gifts, in a regular year just entry fees and some cash to take the wife out is the goal. Luckily haven't had many bad years over the last 2 decades so I haven't had to tailor any goals around losing money or mitigating risk.
