I had mentioned this site about a month or so back. Definetely got in on the ground floor, and there about to really IMO go through the roof. If you like the stock market, this is the sports version of it. Honestly, I have put the money that I would be saving in my 401K and put it into this virtual good market, and have made a very nice profit.
