Fantasy sports refer to online games that allow participants to assemble virtual teams of real sports players. The participants compete by playing as managers of their teams, building the roster through drafts and trades, and making line-ups in pursuit of producing the best team statistically. Football, baseball, soccer, cricket, hockey, and basketball are some commonly played fantasy sports. They are widely used as an interactive and engaging activity to compete with friends, colleagues, and family over friendly leagues. Fantasy sports help increase the learning ability, enhance decision-making, provide a realistic feeling while playing, and improve sports knowledge.
