Why Fanduel Sportsbook Is Killing The Competition
Is it that hard? Why has Fanduel Sportsbook figured out the secret to success, yet their counterparts such as Caesars Sportsbook and DraftKings Sportsbook are still struggling to make major moves?
While each Sportsbook has seen success, it’s Fanduel that offers its players an option that has them coming back daily.
For most, the popular plays are still (over/under) points, rebounds, assists, and threes. And how can we forget the classic Spread, Moneyline, and total Team Points scored. But it’s when you scroll down and start to get into the Same Game Parlays (SPG) that things change for the Sportsbooks.

Fanduel has what they call SPG+1. This is the game-changer here. What this does is allow betters to place Parlays not only from a single game but from multiple games as well. And to add more salt to the wound, they even allow you to mix and match different sports under one ticket.
For example:
NBA (Stephen Curry to score 30 points)
NFL (Tom Brady to pass for 235 yards)
NHL (Adam Fox to score 3 goals)
And this can go on for any sport. For bettors, this is a must as it gives better chances for bigger odds which translates into bigger payouts. And isn’t that the reason why we do this in the first place?
But if Fanduel can do this, why can’t everyone else? Adding that extra phase to the SPGs will bring in more customers for other Sportsbooks. So what is the issue here?
Caesars has options that Fanduel doesn’t have like (over/under) for totals in points/rebounds/assists. That’s a fun one to bet on but it still doesn’t beat the stacking of Parlays on Fanduel.
Imagine having an 18 leg (Bet) Parlay spanning across 4 different NBA games, 3 different NFL games, and 3 different NHL games? That’s some real money to be made if the 18 leg Parlay stands at +30000 odds for them all to hit.
Now you don’t have to play a $100 bet just to double it. With Fandual Sportsbook and those odds, you can play for $1 and still come out better than that $100 bet you placed with DraftKings or Caesars Sportsbook.
