Prop Bet

> Contents
Definition

A bet made on a specific occurrence or non-occurrence during a game, not directly affecting the game's final outcome.

A Prop Bet (short for Proposition Bet) is a wager on a specific event within a game that does not necessarily relate to the final score or outcome.

Props can be about player performance (e.g., "Will LeBron James score over 25.5 points?") or game events (e.g., "Will there be a safety?").

Examples of Prop Bets

  • Player Props: Passing yards, rushing touchdowns, strikeouts.
  • Game Props: Total field goals, coin toss result, duration of the national anthem.
  • Exotic Props: Rare events like the Octopus (8 points by one player).
