What are Demons and Goblins on PrizePicks?
You can win more with Demons and Goblins on the PrizePicks board. You can filter through a player’s regular Demon, and Goblin projections by clicking the left and right arrow icon by a player’s projection.
Demons are identified by a bold red icon on the projection board. Demons are high-difficulty projections that can rocket your max payout up to 100x if you pick correctly. You must pick “More” on a Demon projection.
Goblins are identified by a green icon on the projection board and they’re designed to keep you in the green. These are safer picks that make it easier to land consistent victories.
