On second thought, the blackjack comparison doesen't work as well. In blackjack, insurance gets us half our money back, not the case here.

I'm sorry, I am just not seeing much benefit. But you can still lose your bet and the insurance in blackjack

Originally posted by DOUGHBOYS: I wouldn't equate it with home insurance. Home insurance covers a wide spectrum. Isn't this more like insurance at a blackjack table? Where we're probably losing the hand (season) and hope to recover something? Most good and pro blackjack players do not buy insurance,...

Originally posted by Beezman: In your earlier example on Pujols you used a 10% factor. ($1,400 amount of insurance for $140) Is 10% the rule of thumb on insuring a player? Are players with an injury history (like Johan Santana or Brandon Webb) more expensive than players with a healhy history? Playe...

Originally posted by Walla Walla: Please put that on paper with cost and who backs you up and than maybe you have a case. This is a true insurance policy underwritten by Lloyds of London. An A rated insurance company. We issue a certificate of insurance stating that as well as your covered amount, c...

not sure if you saw this one on the previous page Henry - What is the largest payment you've made on any single claim? We didn't have a claim for football. Westbrook was one game shy. This football season was pretty minor with regards to injuries.

Originally posted by Walla Walla: Insurance to protect a person's home I understand. You lose your home you recover from it. You lose a baseball player in a fantasy draft you don't recover everything. Bad bet. Like insuring your home, if you insure the full value - in this case your total entry fee ...

Is there an exact date the top 100 will be published? I should have this out by Wednesday of next week.

Henry - Forgot to tell you, Walla Walla likes to embarrass himself publicly. He'll probably do it a handful more times during your chat. The "family" apologizes in advance. Apology accepted!

King of Queens - Thanks for the questions How long has FSI been around? Since 2008 What gave you the idea to start the company? I came up with the idea after Brady went down with his knee injury in 2008. When do you pull a player from the "Insurable List"? Players will remain on the eligible list un...
