Fanatics Sportsbook is changing the way bettors look at player props.
The online sports betting operator recently announced the official rollout of "Squad Bets," a highly anticipated, native feature that allows users to step into the shoes of a General Manager. Squad Bets aims to eliminate the classic heartbreak of traditional parlays by letting bettors wager on a collective group of players rather than individual, isolated legs.
Here is everything you need to know about Fanatics' newest feature, how it works, and what it means for your bankroll.
Squad Bets Shifts the Focus to Team Achievement
We have all been there: you build a beautiful three- or five-leg player prop parlay, only for someone to be one rebound away from the objective.
Squad Bets addresses this exact frustration. Instead of needing every single player to hit a specific over/under line, Squad Bets allows users to build a custom team of three to six players and wager on their combined statistical output.
"Squad Bets introduces a fundamentally new way to parlay," says Michael Fitzsimmons, SVP of Brand Marketing at Fanatics Sportsbook. "By shifting the focus from individual legs to collective squad achievement, Squad Bets delivers a more personalized betting experience and one that mirrors how fans experience sports."
For example, instead of betting on three different NBA players to score 25+ points each, you can group them together to score 75 combined points. If one player goes cold and finishes with 12 points, but your other two stars explode for 32 and 31, your bet wins.
So now on, everyone is in the same boat: You, your props, and your bankroll!
