Three kinds of player bets
What a prop is
A bet on one player’s stat, such as points, instead of who wins the game.
Thresholds
Lines are written as “5 or more”. The higher the number, the longer the price.
Specials

Props live on the game page
Selections open for the full game and for single quarters.

Find the tab
Scroll the market tabs to Players’ stats, for example “Including Overtime. Players’ stats” or “Players’ stats. 1st quarter”.
Pick a threshold
Each player has rows such as 3, 5, 7 or 10 or more.
Confirm
The price goes to the bet slip. Set the stake and confirm.

Longer price, bigger swing
LeBron at 10 or more is 12, about 8.3%, a rare quarter that pays well.
