Built for managers who want data on their side

FunnyGamingBest started as a spreadsheet shared between four friends who were tired of guessing at lineups. It is now a multi-sport fantasy platform with a live scoring pipeline, a projection engine and a community of managers across four leagues.

Our mission

Fantasy sports should reward preparation, not luck of the draw or access to private data. Our job is to put the same information in front of every manager: clean projections, honest uncertainty, and scoring you can audit line by line. Then get out of the way.

That is why every projection ships with a volatility band, why scoring breakdowns are public on every settled contest, and why the free plan includes the same live scoring engine the paid plans use.

What we are not

We are not a sportsbook. We do not accept wagers on the outcome of sporting events, we do not publish betting odds, and our projections are not advice. FunnyGamingBest is skill-based entertainment, and the rules are written out in our Terms & Conditions.

What we optimise for

Six principles that decide what we build next.

Fair contests first

Integrity work (duplicate accounts, collusion, automation) gets priority over new features. A contest nobody trusts is worth nothing.

Show the working

Every score can be traced to the events that produced it, and every projection shows its range instead of pretending to certainty.

Speed is a feature

Live scoring lands in about two seconds. A leaderboard that lags is a leaderboard that misleads.

Data minimalism

We collect what running contests requires and no more. No selling personal data, and short retention windows by default.

Accessible by default

Keyboard navigation, contrast targets and reduced-motion support are part of the definition of done, not a later pass.

Play responsibly

Session reminders, self-imposed limits and a clear route to self-exclusion are built into the account, not buried in a policy.

How we got here

Five years, four leagues.

12021

A shared spreadsheet

Four friends tracking NFL projections by hand for a private league of twelve people. The formulas outgrew the spreadsheet within a season.

22022

First public beta

NFL only, weekly slates, a scoring engine that ran on a single server. Around 4,000 managers signed up in the first month.

32023

Hockey and basketball

Nightly slates forced a rebuild of the live pipeline and the first version of the confirmed-starter feed.

42024

The projection engine

Per-league models replaced one shared model, and volatility bands were published for the first time.

52025

CFL and cross-sport

A fourth league, normalised cross-sport scoring, and private mini-leagues with custom rules.

62026

Two and a half million managers

The tactical builder, live analytics and the current design system: the platform you are looking at now.

How the team is organised

Small groups, each owning a part of the matchday.

Data & modelling

Owns the projection engine, the per-league models and the accuracy reviews we run after every settled slate.

Platform engineering

Product & design

Trust, support & integrity

Owns contest fairness, account reviews, responsible-play tooling and every support queue.

What managers say

“I dropped my own spreadsheet after two weeks. The volatility band next to each projection is the thing I check before I lock a lineup.”

Marcus K., Pro Manager

“The volatility band is the feature I did not know I needed. I finally stopped putting tournament players in my 50/50 lineups.”

Priya S., Elite

“Our twelve-person office league moved over for the private leagues and stayed for the live scoring.”

Daniel O., Pro Manager
