How Are Tied Picks Treated in Betr Entries?
In Betr, tied picks are a specific type of outcome that can affect the validity and results of your entries. This article explains how tied picks are treated across various scenarios and their implications on multipliers, lineup sizes, and entry validity.
What Is a Tied Pick?
A tied pick signifies a scenario where a player participated in the event but there was no clear win or loss outcome. A tied pick occurs when a player plays but results in a "tie" grading, indicating a neutral result. This provides additional clarity on its implications in payout calculations. It is important to distinguish this from a "Did Not Play" (DNP) scenario, where a player's absence could void the pick. A tied pick is considered valid participation and is, therefore, not treated as voided. This distinction ensures the entry remains active even if a tied pick is involved.
How Do Tied Picks Affect Your Entry in Betr?
2-Pick Entries
In 2-pick entries, a tied pick does not invalidate the entry. The result of the non-tied pick determines the potential prize value. For example:
If one pick results in a win or loss and the other is tied, the entry remains valid as long as players are from two teams. The prize or multiplier adjusts based on the non-tied pick’s result.- The payout is adjusted according to the multiplier tied to the valid pick, ensuring accurate settlement based on the active result.
3-Pick or Larger Lineups
In entries involving three or more picks, a tied pick is treated similarly to a voided pick, leading to adjustments in the multiplier and resulting in reversion to the next smallest lineup size. For instance:
In a 3-pick entry, if one pick is tied, the remaining two picks form a valid lineup and determine the prize multiplier.
The presence of a tied pick affects the prize multiplier but does not cancel the entire entry.
Impact on Prize Multiplier
A tied pick reduces the potential multiplier on your entry, reflecting the reduced number of valid results. However, this only adjusts the prize and does not void the entry entirely. They specifically alter the payout calculations without invalidating the entry, ensuring fairness in grading the results.
Distinction Between Tied Picks and DNPs
Unlike a Void or Did Not Play (DNP), a tied pick involves active participation by the selected player. Betr does not cancel or refund entries due to tied picks. Instead, these are treated as valid, with adjustments made only to multipliers or lineup sizes. This ensures fairness and consistency across all entry sizes. Refunds are only issued when criteria such as having all remaining picks from the same team or other disqualifying conditions are met.
Summary
In summary, tied picks in Betr:
Count as valid participation.
Do not cancel the entry.
Affect the prize multiplier.
Result in lineup size reversion in larger entries. Understanding how tied picks work ensures players can make informed decisions and recognize the implications of ties on their entries. For detailed settlement timeline information, please refer to the official guide or support articles.
