Notifications
Underdog will always notify you about your active drafts, whether your draft is about to start or you're on the clock. If you have "Player News" turned on, we will not spam you. These notifications are only sent for major player news, such as important injury reports, new contracts, or blockbuster trades.
Make sure to have your Underdog notifications enabled within your device settings for your drafts as well!
Payout Default
There are two options to choose from when setting your default payout when creating your entry:
Max Payout - Set your payout to the Max Payout by default
Flex - Set your payout to Flex by default
Fantasy/Prediction Pick Odds Display
There are two options for how to display odds for fantasy/prediction picks:
Probability: This will allow you to see picks represented by percentage probability (60%)
Multiplier: This will allow you to see picks represented by a multiplier (3x)
Note: You can change the odds format display anytime in your Account Settings
Projection Changes
Toggling the "Always accept" option on in this setting section means that anytime you select an in-game projection, if the number changes, Underdog will automatically apply that new number to your entry. Note: We will not change a "higher" to a "lower" or vice versa. Only the new number will automatically apply to the entry.
For example, LeBron James currently has 13 points, and his new in-game projection is 27.5. While building your entry, LeBron scores 2 more points, causing this new number to jump to 29.5. Underdog will automatically select 29.5 points as your new projection.
If this setting is disabled, you will need to confirm any stat change before being able to submit your entry. For more information on in-game projections, please visit this link here.
Price Change Tolerance (Predictions)
When you place an entry with a Prediction pick, the price of that contract can move slightly between the time you build your entry and when it's submitted. This setting controls how much that price can move against you before we'll still accept your entry automatically.
Default: we'll accept a price move of up to 5% against you. You can leave this as is, or customize it anywhere from 0% (no adverse movement allowed) up to 20%, or choose to accept any price change.
Price improvements are always accepted — if the price moves in your favor, your entry goes through automatically, regardless of your tolerance setting.
You can find and adjust this setting from either the Entry Slip or your Account Settings.
For example: you build an entry expecting 25 contracts at $0.40 each. If the price shifts slightly and your entry would now get 24 contracts (a 4% difference), and your tolerance is set to 5%, the entry still goes through automatically at the new count. If the shift is larger than your tolerance allows, you'll be asked to confirm before submitting.
Note: This setting applies to single Prediction entries (including Pick'em + Prediction combos). It does not apply to Prediction Parlays, which are always submitted at the exact price and contract count you were quoted.
