Conversely, on our site, we welcome ALL visitors, whether they play for the sheer thrill of playing or whether they might want to play for some kind of cash stake.

We've even heard from many members that they default to largeboy.net while at work, so as to keep current and up to date in real time with all of the sports and related entertainment news that they want and need.

We are information central for sports and gaming fans alike. The only thing that we haven't quite figured out yet is a cure for those who rapidly become addicted to the contests largeboy.net.

Finally, Largeboy is different because we are just like you. Our site was started by a group of guys who simply wanted to stay in touch with each other, enjoy contests and sports together, and keep in touch via the Internet. Because of the unique keep it in the family philosophy of our site, we have become a major player in the Internet entertainment business…without sacrificing our "Main Street" appeal and our user-friendly, ethical and entertainment-oriented feel.

Yes, there sure is. Due to popular demand, we have launched an affiliate program. It is perfect for sports and game enthusiasts.

What does the name 'Largeboy' mean?

We get this question a lot, actually. Basically, our site was founded by former athletes that wanted to keep in touch with each other and additionally, wanted to enjoy many of the friendships and fond memories that were formed during our younger years. We all work very hard in our jobs and careers, and lead very "grown up" lives. But at the same time, we wanted a place and a way to stay in touch and enjoy our passion for sports. In 1997 we were having trouble putting together a draft for our league. So one of us came up with the idea of a contest where we would keep it in the family. The cash that is, we could kill two birds with one stone so to speak. We would get all the fantasy and sportsbook action in one contest. A draftless fantasy league where you picked winners instead of players. A game that you could be excited about each and every week. So we determined that we could lead professional lives and raise our families successfully, and then occasionally hang out on a top-notch web site and be "large boys," i.e. adults that could occasionally enjoy the same purity and passion for our sports backgrounds that we had when we were kids and young adults. We guess that you could say that it is something like a group of guys who get together on a weekend to play touch (or even tackle!) football, or who play golf together, softball or baseball in the summer, or perhaps play cards each week.

We enjoy the thrill of expanding our own vision and passion for enjoyable safe entertainment with like-minded people globally. So…we are adults with integrity and character, ethics and honesty, that at times want to enjoy ourselves as…"large boys," or, in essence, adults that sometimes like to do things that we began to first enjoy as young adults and that, quite frankly, every adult likes to enjoy from time to time. So, we work hard, take care of our families, and…then, we want to relax doing safe, enjoyable, recreational things with people that we enjoy doing them with. So, here you have it: the name "Largeboy." (It doesn't hurt, either, that the man with the vision of this game and one of our founders is a former athlete that could run through brick walls with or without a football because he is a large man AKA Large Boy). We realize that any adult male could be a 'large boy' regardless of his physical stature. Oh, and we don't discriminate, either. We have lots of members that are women. But since this game started with a group of guys, the name Largeboy followed. But we equally welcome "Largegirls" (a.k.a: women that are sports fans and that enjoy doing recreational, fun things during those rare moments of free time that all of us as adults have. Enjoy the site!
