4. Choose 2-6 player statistics

Now it’s time for the fun part! Simply choose 2-6 player stats of your choice to get started. 2 or 3 stats is the safest route, but 5 or 6 leads to higher potential payouts. 

If you already know a player you want to pick, you can type their name in the search bar. However, you can also browse through our “board” of squares, separated by league and stat. 

Your options are endless. PrizePicks has a wide variety of sports, including the NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL, WNBA, College Sports, PGA, Tennis, and several esports titles. Within those markets, PrizePicks offers many stat categories. For example, NBA stats on PrizePicks include points, rebounds, assists, points + rebounds + assists, fantasy points, free throws, and three-pointers. 

5. Pick More or Less

Pick more or less on each of the squares in your lineup. Get them right and you win BIG. It’s that easy. 

If you need some extra help, you can click the three lines next to a player’s projection to pull up their stats from their last 5 games, as well as their average during that span. 

6. Pick Flex or Power Play

PrizePicks has two types of lineups: Flex Plays and Power Plays. 

If you’re feeling very confident in your picks, make it a Power Play. Every pick in your lineup needs to win in order for a Power Play to win. If even one pick loses, the lineup loses. However, the higher risk is negated by higher payouts. 4-Pick Power Plays on PrizePicks payout 10X your money!

Flex Plays are the safer way to play. One or two of your picks can lose and you can still get paid out. For example, 6/6 on a 6-Pick Flex Play pays out 25X. But you still double your money if you go 5/6, and you’ll get nearly half of your entry fee back for going 4/6. 

7. Choose your entry fee

The minimum entry fee on PrizePicks is $5. 

You’ll be able to see your exact potential payouts when you type in your entry fee, so you can make adjustments based on that information.  Make sure you pick an entry fee that you are comfortable with. 

8. Submit your Lineup

Once you’ve picked 2-6 stats, more or less, flex or power, and your entry fee, you’re done! It’s that easy. Now you can just submit your lineup and sweat the results in real-time. 

Many PrizePicks members watch the games that their players are playing in for a more fun sports viewing experience. Others choose to sweat the games with their fellow members in the PrizePicks Discord. You can also just check the app on occasion, because most stats will be live scored in real-time. 

If all your picks turn green, congrats! It means you won and are going to get a big payout!
