Player props

A player prop is a bet on one player's stat or event in a game, not on the final score. Most props are over-or-under bets on a stat, like receiving yards, points or rebounds, set at a line such as 67.5.

Over wins if the player goes above the line, and under wins if the player finishes below it. A whole-number line can push, and a half-point line cannot.

Read the player, the side, the line and the price. J. Smith O 67.5 at -115 means J. Smith over 67.5 at -115.

Compare the same line when you compare books. Two books can post different lines for the same player, and 67.5 is not the same bet as 68.5.

The Odds tab in the game room lists player props in sections below the game lines. Each player has an over cell and an under cell, with the best price at your books. Antic shows the player's first initial and last name.

For football, the props Antic loads are receiving yards and rushing yards. For basketball, they are points, rebounds and assists. Props are part of Antic Pro, and members without Pro see a lock where the props would be. Game polls can also ask whether a player reaches a stat line, but a poll is a free prediction with no price.

Ignoring the line. An over of 22.5 yards loses if the player finishes with 22, because 22 does not clear 22.5.

Treating a recent streak as a sure thing. A line already reflects a lot of what the books know about the player.
