What the Tool Does (and Why It Works)
Understanding the mathematical advantage
Sportsbooks and fantasy pick'em apps both offer player props — but they're priced differently. Traditional sportsbooks (like DraftKings, FanDuel, etc.) build in a vig (or "juice"), which is the cut they take on every bet. Parlayers compares those sportsbook odds back to the fantasy pick'em (fixed-payout) odds to expose where those lines are mispriced, hence creating our edge.
The Core Concept:
If sportsbooks say a player prop is very likely to hit, but the fantasy app still pays you as if it's 50/50, you have a positive expected value (+EV) play.
Example: Finding the Edge
Over time, users become profitable bettors using this trusted strategy.

Understanding the Play Rankings
How we rate every opportunity
Each play in the tool is ranked by its percentage odds to hit, based on live sportsbook data.
| Color | Range | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
Purple | 55%+ | Top-tier play — play these as soon as possible |
Green | 52–55% | Strong play — market favorites that will make up the most of your wagers |
Yellow | 50–52% | Marginal play — use only if needed to complete a slip |
Tip
Always prioritize purple and green plays — they're statistically the most profitable over time.
How to Read Each Play
Understanding every data point
Each row in the tool displays comprehensive information to help you make informed decisions:
Cooper Kupp
Receptions
Bookmaker Comparison
Key Elements Explained:
- • Player & Stat Type: Shows exactly what you're betting on (e.g., Cooper Kupp — Receptions)
- • Odds to Hit: Our calculated probability based on market consensus (e.g., 54.37%)
- • Market Consensus Line: Average of 5+ major sportsbooks
- • Fantasy Sports App Line: What PrizePicks is offering
- • Bookmaker Comparison: See where sportsbooks disagree — that's where your advantage lies
Using Filters to Identify Sharp Plays
Find the sharpest edges with precision filtering
At the top of the tool, you'll see several filters to help you find the most valuable plays:
Minimum Number of Bookmakers
Set this to 2+ bookmakers to ensure your play is supported by multiple sportsbooks, increasing reliability and confirming the edge is consistent across the market.
Stat Type
Choose the category depending on your sport and strategy (examples):
Also Available On (Exclusive Plays)
New!This filter allows you to find exclusive plays — props that are only available on one fantasy app.
Why Exclusive Plays Have Bigger Edges:
- • Competing apps removed the line (too sharp)
- • Or they discounted it (wager payout shifts and ultimately pays you out less)
Example Filter Setup:
Building Your Slips
Maximize your edge with smart slip building
Select High-Value Plays
- Prioritize purple and green plays
- Use exclusive plays (available on one app only)
- Verify the fantasy sports app line hasn't moved or been discounted
Choose the Right Format
Stick to the most profitable slip types:
5-Man Flex
6-Man Flex
Bankroll Management
- Keep your unit size consistent (same stake wagered on each slip).
- Why it's important? If you hit 1 out of 9 5-Flex slips (with 10x payouts), barring any unit size changes, you'd be profitable by 1 unit. This allows you to play high volume and track profits over time without recklessly spending your bankroll.

Strategy Tips
Win consistently with these proven approaches
Target Strong +EV Plays Only
Avoid chasing yellow plays unless absolutely necessary. Again, purple and green plays are optimal.
Use the Tool Daily
Lines change fast — the refresh rate is under 60 seconds, so act quickly when you spot value.
Beat the "Bumps"
Fantasy sports apps will adjust or remove sharp lines quickly — getting your plays in as soon as possible is crucial.
Trust the Data, Not Your Gut
Even professional bettors lose long-term to the sportsbooks without edges. Parlayers helps flip those edges in your favor.
Pro Strategy: Correlation or Synergy
While our tool identifies the best individual plays, be mindful of correlation in your slips. For example, if a quarterback throws for 300+ yards, their wide receivers are more likely to have many receiving yards. Do not abuse this, as too much correlation in wagers may cause payout shifts.
