PrizePicks is a Daily Fantasy application based in the United States where users can place bets on strictly player propositions. Similar to other sports betting applications, the company allows consumers to enter daily challenges and win money on individual players performances across the major sports such as the NFL (most popular sport on PrizePicks), MLB, NBA, NHL, NCAA and other various sports.[1] Despite this similarity, PrizePicks exclusively focuses on the performance of individuals on professional sports teams rather than offering bets on the teams in general. This mobile application allows users to place player parlay bets from their phone rather than meeting with a broker.
