Online

1. On your blog write about something interesting you do online.

Something interesting I do online is gamble with my friends. I pick certain players that I want for a team and play against friends. Its called fantasy football or fantasy basketball. The way you win is by having your players play well in their game. If they score a touchdown than you get points, if they run for 10 yards you get points. In basketball its diferent. Whoever scores the most points and wins the most games goes to playoffs and then, if they win that they go to the championship and if they win the championship they win the money.
