FAQ – Most Asked Questions About This Challenge
Are player prop bets really more profitable than regular markets?
Yes – in inefficient markets (NBA points, tennis games, NFL yards) bookmakers often misprice individual player performance. Sharp bettors exploit this edge consistently.
What was the biggest single bet in this challenge?
On Day 27 I risked $2,800 on a single NBA player points over at 1.87 odds and won, pushing the bankroll over $8,000.
Can beginners repeat this player prop challenge?
Only with strict bankroll management and research. I used 1-3% risk per bet and spent 2-3 hours daily analyzing stats. Start small and claim a bonus on our bonuses page to boost your starting bank.
