How Pick'em Payouts Work

Pick'em platforms pay fixed multipliers based on how many picks you make and whether you select an all-or-nothing or flex-style entry. Select your platform above, choose your entry type and number of picks, and the calculator shows your exact payout, the implied probability per leg, and the hit rate you need to break even over time.

Power Play vs Flex: Which Should You Choose?

All-or-nothing entries (Power Play on PrizePicks, Standard on Underdog) pay more but require every pick to hit. Flex and Insured entries offer partial payouts when you miss one or two picks. At lower hit rates, flex entries have higher expected value because the insurance payouts offset many of your losses. The Flex vs Power Play Analyzer calculates the exact crossover point.

Comparing Payouts Across Platforms

Not all pick'em platforms pay the same multiplier for the same number of picks. Underdog pays 6x for 3 Standard picks while PrizePicks and Pick6 pay only 5x. For 6 picks, PrizePicks and Pick6 both pay 40x but Underdog pays 36x. The comparison table above ranks platforms by payout for your selected pick count so you can maximize returns.
