Spence vs. Crawford: What to Do if DraftKings, FanDuel, Other Sports Betting Sites Aren’t Legal in My State

Full, online sports betting is legal in more than 20 states, which leaves more than half the country without regulated wagering options (including the 80 million+ in the three most populous states, California, Florida and Texas).

If you want to get money down on the boxing match of the year on Saturday night between Errol Spence Jr. and Terence Crawford, you can try a few different options. PrizePicks and Underdog Fantasy offer "DFS entries" for hundreds of games and other events per day.

Here's how it works.

• PrizePicks will offer dozens of stats for a game, and you have to pick at least two stats and choose "more" or "less" for each.
• The more stats you add, the bigger the payout of your entry. You can also choose a "Power Play" with an increased payout, but all three selections must hit, or a flex play, in which you'll get a lesser payout if one of your selections misses.

Here's an example from Spence vs. Crawford.

I've selected three stats — Crawford over 142.5 punches landed, Spence under 142.5 punches landed, and Crawford over 99.5 fantasy points (you can find the fantasy scoring right on the PrizePicks entry). I've also selected a Power Play, meaning all three selections have to win for my entry to win.

• If all three legs win, I'll 5x my entry — so a $20 entry returns $100.
• If one of the legs loses, I'll lose that $20.

You can see the visual here — scroll through all the sports and stats along the top menu, and you'll see your selections and payout on the right.

In a baseball game, I could select Gerrit Cole more than 6.5 strikeouts for the Yankees, and Zack Wheeler less than 1.5 walks for the Phillies in a separate game.
