Fantasy sports can be traced back to many years ago when sporting enthusiasts created their own leagues that are governed by their rules. These leagues are virtual and are rated based on the actual performance of the players. The popularity of the sport has grown over the years as the game has become more professional with the development of many more leagues. The growth of the leagues has been propelled due to the World Wide Web and receiving excellent coverage on channels such as ESPN, CBS, NBA and Yahoo! Fantasy Sports.
