Prediction Parlays

How prediction parlays work

Prediction Parlays allow you to combine multiple Prediction Picks, such as team outcomes and Prediction Player Picks, into a single entry made up only of Prediction Picks. Entries that mix Prediction Picks with Fantasy picks are Combos, which follow different rules. Please note: Not all Prediction Picks can be combined.

Can I edit or cancel a Prediction Parlay?

Prediction Parlays cannot be canceled, but you do have the option to cash out early. The cash-out value is based on the current market value of your contracts and may be higher or lower than your original entry fee. To cash out, go to the Track tab and select Cash Out on your entry.

What happens if a pick in my parlay can't be graded as correct or incorrect?

Sometimes a pick in your parlay can't be graded as simply correct or incorrect — for example, if a game is canceled, a player doesn't play, or a match doesn't start. When this happens, your entire parlay is priced and settled as one combined position, not pick-by-pick.

Here's what that means in practice:

  • If every pick in your parlay is correct, you receive the full payout.

  • If any pick is clearly incorrect, your parlay settles as incorrect — even if another pick in the same entry is still pending or later gets canceled. Prediction Parlays don't support Flex, so if any pick in your parlay settles as incorrect, the entire entry settles as incorrect.

  • If one or more picks can't be graded (due to a cancellation, tie, postponement, or a player who doesn't play), and every other pick is correct, your parlay settles at a value based on the fair market value of the affected pick(s). This means your payout may be more or less than your entry fee, and won't match the full payout.

What happens if a pick in my Prediction parlay is canceled, ties, or a player doesn't play?

If a pick in your Prediction parlay is canceled (e.g., due to weather), ends in a tie, or involves a player who does not play (DNP), that position settles according to the rules of the underlying market. This applies to every pick type in the parlay, including team outcomes, Prediction Player Picks, and individual matchups like tennis. Instead of settling at $0 or $1, the affected position typically settles at a fair market price.

The parlay is not refunded or canceled. The payout is calculated by multiplying the settlement values of all positions, including the adjusted value of the affected position.

Note: This applies to cancellations, ties, and players who do not play — not to rescued picks. If a player starts the game but exits early due to injury and qualifies for a rescue under Underdog's standard rescue rules, different terms apply (see below).

Example: two legs settle at $1.00 and one canceled, tied, or DNP leg settles at $0.70 → payout is $0.70 per contract (0.70 × 1.00 × 1.00).

If a leg is canceled or ties before the parlay settles, the parlay stays open (unless another leg is incorrect). At final settlement, the payout is the product of all legs' settlement prices, using the canceled leg's VWAP price in place of a win/loss result.

What if a player in my parlay is rescued?

A rescue is different from a market cancellation. If a player starts the game but exits early due to injury, they may be eligible for rescue under Underdog's standard rescue rules — this is not treated as a cancellation or a tie.

In a Prediction Parlay, a rescued pick is treated the same way as a rescue in a standard Pick'em entry: if all other picks in your parlay are correct, you'll receive a refund of your entry fee. If any other pick in the parlay is incorrect, the rescue does not apply, and the entry is not refunded.

The fair market price settlement described above does not apply to rescued picks.
