The terms you'll see in the app and at any sportsbook.
- Player prop
- A bet on one player's stat line, such as points, rebounds, or passing yards, instead of the final score.
- Line
- The number the sportsbook sets. You bet on whether the player finishes over or under it.
- Over and under
- The two sides of a prop. Over 24.5 points wins at 25 or more. Under wins at 24 or fewer.
- Hit rate
- How often a player has cleared a line in past games. Eight of the last ten is an 80 percent hit rate.
- Parlay
- Several bets tied into one. The payout multiplies with each leg, and every leg has to hit.
- Same game parlay
- A parlay where every leg comes from a single game.
- Implied probability
- The chance a sportsbook's price suggests. A price of -150 implies 60 percent.
- Expected value
- What a bet returns on average over many tries. A positive number means the price is better than the true odds.
