How am I placed into groups?
Upon submitting a lineup, you'll be placed into a group or groups with other Betr Picks members by splitting your entry fee into $1 segments. To ensure a level playing field, each user in a group will have submitted the same number of picks in their lineups. We'll also match you into groups based on your Experience Level: Rookies, Veterans, and All-Stars.
Why is my group not filled yet?
Groups are filled based on the time they were initially created, on a first-entered, first-placed basis. If your group hasn't filled yet, wait patiently while the groups in front of you have entries added to them.
What are Experience Levels?
Depending on how many lineups you've created and prizes you've won over your entire experience with Betr Picks, you'll be placed into the Rookie, Veteran, or All-Star level. Rookies show up on the leaderboard with a 1-star badge, Veterans with a 2-star badge, and All-Stars with a 3-star badge. Users will be grouped together based on their experience levels but may share contests with users of other levels.
How are points calculated for my lineup?
Each lineup a user enters is scored based on the final result of their picks. The user(s) with the highest scores win prizes. If multiple members tie for 1st place, payouts will be shared equally based on the total number of winners.
The points system is scored as follows:
Boost Level 3 - 4.5 points
Boost Level 2 - 3 points
Boost Level 1 - 2 points
Regular Pick - 1.5 points
Special Pick - 1.5 points
Free Pick - 1.5 points
Edge Level 1 - 1 points
Edge Level 2 - 0.5 points
Edge Level 3 - 0.25 points
Anchor Pick - 0.1 points
Edge Combo - Combination based on Pick Types
Void - 0 points
Incorrect pick - 0 points
What happens if my lineup has a voided player or projection?
Voided projections will not count as incorrect picks, but they will adjust your lineup and perfect lineup payout multiplier by one level. Reference the scoring system to see how these adjust your lineup score for determining leaderboard standings.
When voids occur, contests adjust like this:
- 8-Pick → 7-Pick
- 7-Pick → 6-Pick
- 6-Pick → 5-Pick
- 5-Pick → 4-Pick
- 4-Pick → 3-Pick
- 3-Pick → 2-Pick
- 2-Pick → Refund, not eligible for prizes
If an 8-pick entry includes a voided pick and the remaining 7 picks are all wins (a perfect entry), it will receive the 7-pick payout multiplier (50x), not the 8-pick multiplier (100x).
However, if an 8-pick entry includes a voided pick and is not perfect, but finishes alone in first place on a leaderboard, the winnings will be based on the 8-pick leaderboard prize ($100 per leaderboard)
How do I know how much I'll win for winning an individual leaderboard?
All leaderboards are collections of the $1 segments that user entries are broken down into for groups. Each leaderboard itself is worth $1 times the standard multiplier for the number of picks. All of the leaderboard winnings that are part of a user entry will be summarized in the users entry card.
Example: in a 2-pick contest, each leaderboard is worth $3 regardless of entry fee the user paid ($1 x 3x)
Example: in a 3-pick contest, each leaderboard is worth $5 regardless of entry fee the user paid ($1 x 5x)
Example: in an 8-pick contest, each leaderboard is worth $100 regardless of entry fee the user paid ($1 x 100x)
What happens if I have the highest-scoring lineup in my group?
The highest score in your group will win the first-place payout that accompanies the number of picks in the lineup if the entry was a perfect score. For example, if you've selected a 3-pick lineup and have the highest score in your group, you'll win 5x your entry fee as long as the entry was perfect.
If not perfect, you will earn prize for every leaderboard (that does not have a perfect lineup) you are in first place in.
Example: in a 3-pick contest, each leaderboard is worth $5 regardless of entry fee the user paid ($1 x 5x)
Example: in an 8-pick contest, each leaderboard is worth $100 regardless of entry fee the user paid ($1 x 100x)
What happens if there is a tie for the highest-scoring lineup in my group?
If two or more players tie for the highest-scoring lineup in a group, the leaderboard payout will be equal to the total leaderboard payout divided by the total number of winners.
What happens if I get a perfect lineup by making all my picks correctly?
If your lineup selections are all correct, you'll always win your full minimum guarantee without having to split with any others.
Please note that you will not receive any additional winnings for being first-place in leaderboards as all perfect scores in a group automatically get full payout.
What happens if more than one member has a perfect lineup?
All members who have at least 2 correct picks and zero incorrect picks will receive a their payout based on the number of correct picks. Multiple members in a group can earn a perfect lineup payout without splitting.
What if I have a perfect lineup, but another member of my group has more points?
A perfect lineup always earns the full multiplier payout based on the number of correct picks. Even if other members in your group have more points, your perfect lineup will win because it was perfect.
What if I get one pick wrong, but still have more points than someone who got a perfect lineup?
Making a perfect lineup is the only way to guarantee a full payout of your entry's multiplier. A leaderboard that includes a perfect lineup will become null and void and will not be winnable with an imperfect lineup. All perfect entries will receive full payout no matter what, regardless of how many perfect entries are in the group.
Why hasn’t my contest closed yet?
Contests are broken down into leaderboard groups with other Betr Picks members by splitting your entry fee into $1 segments. All contests and lineups in a leaderboard group must be completed before contests will be treated as closed.
What is the potential payout of a leaderboard?
The potential payout for a leaderboard win is as follows:
8 pick board = $100
7 pick board = $50
6 pick board = $30
5 pick board = $20
4 pick board = $10
3 pick board = $5
2 pick board = $3
PLEASE NOTE THAT TYING A BOARD WILL BE SPLIT AMONG ALL WINNERS.
