Player Props FAQ
What happens to my prop bet if the player gets injured?
Most sportsbooks void the bet (refund your stake) if a player exits early; typically before halftime for major US sports. Check each operator's house rules; some refund only if the player doesn't play at all.
Why are college player props banned in Colorado?
Colorado regulators prohibited player props on individual college athletes to protect amateur athletes from harassment and integrity concerns. Game-level college markets (spread, moneyline, total) remain fully available.
Which Colorado sportsbook has the most player props?
DraftKings and FanDuel offer the deepest player-prop menus across all major sports. bet365 leads on live (in-play) props during games. Circa Sports and Sporttrade have narrower prop menus.
What is "alternate" prop pricing?
Alternate lines offer the same prop at different thresholds. Example: Jokić points standard line is 27.5 at -115; the alternate of 22.5 would be ~-300, and 32.5 would pay +200. Use alternates to fit your conviction level.
