Dan Hindery's 10 Keys to Winning the DRAFT $1,000,000 Best Ball Championship - Footballguys Dan Hindery Published 07/20/2018

DRAFT has a fun new contest available. The $1,000,000 Best Ball Championship gives you the potential to turn $25 into $100,000.

1. Understand the Payout Structure and Strategy Impact

Drafting a team on DRAFT is exactly like any other season-long redraft league. It is simply a 12-team snake draft.

Winning the big money requires drafting a truly special team.

Let’s dive right into the payouts because the prize structure should always influence optimal strategy.
