 Fantasy sports are games where participants act as team managers, creating imaginary rosters of real-life professional athletes. These virtual teams compete based on the actual statistical performance of the chosen players in real games, earning points through a league-specific scoring system. Managers typically draft players in turns and compete in weekly head-to-head matchups, with top teams advancing to playoffs. League formats vary, including redraft, keeper, and dynasty leagues. Popular in North America, fantasy sports have grown into a major industry. While luck plays a role, success depends heavily on skill, research, and strategy, distinguishing it from traditional sports betting.
