In each Longshots contest, players pick two or three predetermined long shot predictions, such as a higher-than-usual rushing total for the running back or an above-average number of strikeouts for the pitcher. Players who want to shoot for the biggest payouts can choose the “Longshots” format to win up to 40x their money. For example, one prediction may involve selection which of two receivers will finish the day with the most receptions, while another may involve predicting whether the quarterback will pass for more than or fewer than 300 yards. In toss-up games, players make two to five predictions for payouts ranging from 2x to 10x.
Boom Fantasy offers three types of pick ’em fantasy contests with payouts worth up to 40x players’ buyins.
