Description:	FanDuel.com is a daily fantasy sports game - it allows you to play and win fantasy sports in a day instead of waiting the whole season. Players can draft a new team at any time, and pitch it head-to-head against an opponent – a friend, or another FanDuel player – for real money. The player whose team has the most fantasy points at the end of the day’s games wins the cash prize. Clever integration with Facebook & Twitter means that picking opponents is slick, as is bragging about your wins.
