Hubdub

Hubdub Ltd is a Social Gaming company which builds fantasy sports and prediction games.

They currently have two products: hubdub.com and fanduel.com.

FanDuel.com is a premium fantasy baseball and fantasy football game where you can play and win fantasy sports in a day rather than waiting the whole season. Players can draft a new team at any time, and pitch it head-to-head against an opponent – a friend, or another FanDuel player – for real money. The player whose team has the most fantasy points at the end of the day’s games wins the cash prize. It’s purely fantasy baseball right now, but the fantasy football game will launch when the football season starts.

Hubdub.com is a platform and community that combines the value of user-generated news aggregation with passionate prediction markets. It tracks only the stories that people decide are worth creating a market around. Successful predictors make the leaderboard in topics such as Technology, Politics and Sports, which they can link back to their blogs, sites or profiles on social networks.
