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.

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.

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.

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 point

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

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

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 user's 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)

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.

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 a 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)

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.

This does not apply if the leaderboard contains a perfect entry — see "What if I have a perfect lineup, but another member of my group has more points?" below.

If your lineup selections are all correct, you'll always win your full minimum guarantee payout 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.

If your group play entry was a Flex Play entry, you'll always win your full minimum guarantee payout without having to split with any others. If your leaderboard prizes exceed this, you'll receive that payout instead.

All members who have at least 2 correct picks and zero incorrect picks will receive a payout based on their number of correct picks. Multiple members in a group can earn a perfect lineup payout without splitting.

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.

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.

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.

Yes, it is possible for a user to appear in the same leaderboard multiple times using different entries. This scenario may occur when users submit multiple entries that end up in the same leaderboard category. Below are some tips to avoid unintentionally competing against yourself, plus what to expect if it happens.

Guidelines to avoid competing entries:

If you find multiple entries you've submitted appearing together in the same leaderboard, rest assured that all entries will still be evaluated fairly and payout calculations remain unaffected.

Top scorers in the group will split the 1st place prize equally. Each winner receives either their share or the Minimum Guarantee — whichever is higher.
