• Check your status on the PlayMyMillionsLeagues• Connect with the PlayMyMillionsBlog• Manage your profile • Get promoted to a new ‘Status’• Add-in new trading features• Manage your teams and leagues• View your MM$ balance• Trade and win!

ScoringThis is a game of skill, so putting all your eggs in one basket and hoping for a homerun isn’t necessarily the winning strategy. Chances are that homerun won’t happen, so your score will reflect that low probability. PlayMyMillionstakes a look at your investment decisions and measures your playing ability. Similar to a golf handicap, if you’re a PlayMyMillionsbeginner you might be ‘playing off’ 35, while an experienced investment professional could be ‘playing off’ par or 0. Because of PlayMyMillions’ patent pending custom scoring mechanism, all players regardless of experience are competing against each other on somewhat equal terms, so everyone’s got a shot at winning the grand prize of up to $1,000,0001.
