Head to head

Parlayplay vs DraftKings

Which venue is currently the cheaper side of the same player props, de-vigged and counted live.

Right now BeatVig prices 170 player props at both. Parlayplay is the cheaper side 4% of the time (8 of 170), and DraftKings is cheaper on 160. This is the board as it stands at 24 Sep 00:22 ET, not an average over any period — BeatVig measures live prices and keeps no price history.

How they differ

Parlayplay and DraftKings are both sportsbooks: each posts its own line and keeps its margin inside the two prices rather than charging it separately. Which of them is cheaper is not a constant and is not something this page asserts: every prop Parlayplay and DraftKings both price right now is converted to the implied probability of the same outcome and counted below, so the answer moves with the two boards rather than with the date this page was written.

Where Parlayplay is cheaper

Counted above: every prop Parlayplay prices lower than DraftKings. Listed below: the ones that also beat a de-vigged fair price, which is the stricter test and the only one worth acting on.

How each one charges

Parlayplay
Parlayplay is a sportsbook: it posts its own line and prices both sides itself, taking the other side of the bet rather than matching two users against each other.
Parlayplay's margin sits inside the two prices rather than arriving as a separate charge, so it is paid on every bet whether that bet wins or loses. The hold measured below is what that costs on the props Parlayplay is quoting right now — add both sides' implied probabilities together and the amount past 100% is the margin on that market.
BeatVig has not written a coverage note for Parlayplay. What it quotes right now is measured directly from the board below rather than described from memory.
DraftKings
The DraftKings sportsbook sets the line, prices both sides with its margin included, and takes the other side of your bet itself. DraftKings Predictions is a separate, CFTC-regulated product with its own pricing and its own state list.
DraftKings' margin is inside the price. You pay it on every bet you place, whether that bet wins or loses.
DraftKings offers the widest US player-prop menu of any venue on this site.
