How we pick these
Every Win Chance % comes from blending these 6 things:
40%How often the player hit this number in their last 10 games
20%How often they hit it in their last 20 games
15%Who they're playing — opponent strength and game speed
10%How often the player gets the ball / touches
10%Are they hot or cold right now (last 5 vs last 20)
5%Injuries that help them (teammate out = more shots)

The 8 Rules to Win Over Time
Boring stuff that actually works. Skip these = lose.
8
Rules
1
Pick 2 or 3 players per ticket. That's it.
6-player tickets win less than 2% of the time. With 3 players, you can still cash even if one misses.
2
Only bet 1–3% of your money per ticket.
If you have $100, your ticket should be $1–$3. No exceptions. One bad night with a big bet wipes you out.
3
Bet the underrated guys, not the stars.
MLB strikeouts and WNBA props are the easiest to win. Lines on hyped NBA stars are too tight.
4
Take the easier line, not the bigger payout.
Goblins = lower line, smaller payout, higher win chance. Demons = bigger payout but lower chance. Pick Goblins every time at 75%+.
5
Don't pick 2 players from the same game.
PrizePicks already knows when two things tend to happen together. They pay you less when you stack them.
6
Write down every bet you make.
Date, player, line, your pick, result. No log = no edge. You won't know if you're actually winning.
7
Down 10% this week? Stop.
Walk away. "Just one more to break even" = how you go broke. Tomorrow is a new day.
8
Don't bet what everyone else is betting.
If everyone's picking the same guy, the line already moved. Find what nobody's talking about.
