Underdog Champions Contests Can Boost Winnings

For those unfamiliar with Underdog's Pick Em games, let's give a quick rundown:

• Simply pick higher or lower on player stats like points, passing yards, or hits in a game.
• String two picks together for a 3x payout, three picks for a 6x payout, four picks for a 10x payout, and five picks for the max 20x payout.
• Underdog is available in a number of states that don't offer regulated sportsbooks, like California and Texas.
• Note: Underdog Champions contests are only currently available in select states. An icon that says "Champions" may appear next to the "Drafts" button on your Underdog app or a Champions disclaimer may appear in your contest entry slip with a "Learn more" link.

How Does It Award Extra Winnings?

The Champions Pick Em contest adds bonus potential earnings to your Pick Em wins. After submitting an entry, users are automatically entered into a contest like traditional DFS pools. The peer-to-peer feature splits a guaranteed prize pool among those whose Pick Em entries win.

TheLines.com's Managing Editor Stephen Andress tried one recently, with his observation being users who took on more risk with their Champions entries were awarded bigger bonus winnings. In his contest, a traditional $3000 payout was boosted to $3106.67, while his $60 payout was boosted to $62.13.
