Responsible play
Fantafeat treats fantasy cricket as a hobby for most readers and a discipline for a few. We publish this page because responsible play is the single most important rule of the game.
Play like a long arc, not a sprint
Fantasy cricket is a long arc of small decisions, not a sprint to a single big win. Players who treat the contest as entertainment budget — capped, logged, and stopped when it stops being fun — almost always have a better time than players who chase a single big payout.
Cap your spend
Cap your daily fantasy spend at 1–3 percent of your starting bankroll. If you do not have a defined bankroll, define one. If your daily spend exceeds your cap, stop for the day.
Take breaks
Take a break every fortnight. The single biggest predictor of long-term losses is tilt; a fortnight off resets the tilt pattern.
