NBA and NHL are coming to an end, MLB is up and running, NFL camps are in progress, and another year of sports greatness is upon us. For Oneseason, when the MLB season comes to an end, they will have completed their one year anniversary! Here is a preview of the strategies you can use to profit and have a lot of fun during the transition of sports:

Strategy #1: Buy MLB Stocks- MLB is possibly one of the most dragged out sports ever, but entertaining at the same time. When NBA and NHL end, people want action, and the only way they are going to get that is by buying MLB SOIs. New fantasy games are out and more are to come. Owning a large % of a SOI with a very low amount of outstanding shares is always fun. You can dominate the fantasy games with this player, and can brag to everyone that you own __% of ________.
Best MLB buys: GRNK- (when he comes out) only 400-600 shares and less than 1 ERA in 9 games this season. In Dancenham’s new game, you can almost gurantee that he will win, go 7+ innings, walk 2 or less batters, and give up less than 3 ER.
ICHI- This guy always seems to get a hit. Very valuable in fantasy games, and at 4k MV, he is very undervalued.
Anyone under 3k- Plain and simple, these guys can’t stay at this level for long and when the market starts to pick up, you will make a substantial % gain.
Bottom line: If you like having action and playing fantasy games with your SOIs, this is the strategy for you!

Strategy #2 (What I’m Doing)- Buy a large % of NFL SOIs with a promising future and legends- Baseball is already going and the next sport up will be NFL. Everyone is expecting big advertising around NFL season, which will bring many more users to the site which means more money in the market. They are going to want legends from their day (Sanders, Montana, Payton) just so they can say that they own their favorite player of all-time. If a 3rd-party site can figure out a way to incorporate NFL legends into fantasy games, these SOIs will boom even more. New users are also going to want fantasy studs. Brady, Peterson, and the Mannings are obvious, but you want low shares outstanding, so you look at Ryan, Forte, and Chris Johnson. You can own a pretty large % of these guys at a relatively low price. When the site grows, so will these players.
Bottom line: If you think that the site will really grow around football season, and want to beat the transitioners, this is the strategy for you (and me)!

Strategy #3- Buy NBA SOIs after everyone has transitioned- Lebron and the Cavs look like they are done in the playoffs, and you have really seen it in his value. Lebron had about an 80k market cap a month ago, NOW 40k. 50% dropoff! People are definitely selling him and transitioning into baseball. When the playoffs end, you will see even more people undercut him. Don’t be surprised if he gets to 30k within the next month or two. At these low values, most basketball SOIs are a buy, but can you wait 6 months until these guys play again??? For most people, no, but for the patient, yes, and they will be the ones who make a lot of money off of it. OS hopes to be almost in full swing by then, which means all types of advertising and new users! Also, there hasn’t even been a fantasy game created for basketball yet, and when there is, these SOIs will be even more valuable. All SOIs will soar and if you can get these cheap basketball SOIs during this crash or within the next month or two, you will be very very happy!
Bottom line: If you are patient enough to load up on basketball SOIs in the middle of June, this is the buying strategy for you!

Have fun with OS, and if you are here to make some $$$ while having fun, one of these strategies will probably accomplish your goals.
