Trust me this is the last thing we wanted to happen, especially on a day like this. All of our efforts are on getting the site back up ASAP. Once that happens we will have an announcement on how we intend to make it up to you.
Since yesterday's tweet, more ppl came forward and
@ThriveFantasy
owes & can't pay over $350K to only 16 users. Their total debt could be 7 figures.
If you have funds, try to withdraw ASAP and tell all your friends not to deposit.
Obv no reply to the email info I gave them
When I joined
@PrizePicks
3 years ago I never thought this was possible. Credit to an incredibly hard working team and our supportive member community. This is only the beginning 🚀
Anyone like irony?
DFS sites are legally able to operate because they are arguing it's a game of skill and the reason they are going out of business is because DFS is a game of skill (these sites just suck at it) 🤷♂️

@OutlastDFS
I’ve been asked about how I got my start in the industry. I sent this email Jan 2019, hired 4 days later.
If you are looking to get a job (any job), don’t ask them to do a favor by hiring you, solve a problem for them, give them free ideas/information.
@PrizePicks
members, please update your ios app (6.3.1). 2 key features:
-NBA last 5 game bug fixed
-If you click live support, then player request. You can request a player and it will instantly be sent to the linesmaker (expedited process)
@PrizePicks
fam, Rudolph does NOT need to be in your entry to qualify for the payout boost. He just needs to catch a pass vs DAL today.
*He's caught a pass in 11/12 games this year
I’m incredibly excited to announce that I’m joining the talented team at
@JoinHotStreak
They have the best NBA and in-play product on the market so download it today if you haven’t tried them before!
We have about 150 projections up for NFL week 1 rn, which is about 15-20% of what we will have up before 1PM Sunday. I’d expect another 500+ in-game (2H/Q4)
@PrizePicks
Hypothetically if you bet $100 everyday for 1 year at -105 odds and win 55% of your bets you'd have $2,694 in net profit. Without using a calculator, what would your net profit be with -110 odds instead?
If you like an over on a player prop but think the price is getting too steep before kickoff, wait until the book switches over to their inplay model (0-10 mins before kickoff)
You often see O1.5 -170 drop to O1.5 -155
Tell me you are completely out of touch with your customer needs/wants without telling me you are out of touch with your customer needs/wants…
$70 for a creamsicle pullover…my bad $52.50

enough. Check out the variety of open positions we have posted here:
If you can't articulate why a bet has an edge then you shouldn't make the bet.
*Stats like this DON'T COUNT: Lamar has rushed for O45.5 in 7 of his last 8 games vs CIN

eating contest is one of my favorite events to offer on
@PrizePicks
. We may have a few more eaters once the full contestant list is published.
Random thought: do you ever recall going to a Blockbuster, spending 30 mins looking around and not finding something to watch?
I’m 50/50 on a good day with Netflix
Keep your eyes out on the

-20+ NFL week 1 projections are live
-NFL preseason will go live on Wednesday (HOF game)
-Expanded tennis offerings
-NCAAF season futures soon (same as NFL_FUT)
@DFSbyNoah
You must not be familiar with his work, this isn’t even top 10 terrible analysis.
A recent fav was that Duncan Robinson had never gone 5 straight games of 16+ points so take under 15.5…he went over fwiw
We will be offering every Nascar Cup, Truck and Xfinity race this year
@PrizePicks
. Here is an outline of our offerings. The field & start order is TBD for tomorrows race so we hope to have projections up around 4PM EST for the 6PM race.
If you are a WNBA DFS fan and aren't playing
@PrizePicks
, you are doing it wrong. A 3 game slate, 18 fantasy point projections and 34 single stat projections...no one else offers this many options to enhance your WNBA viewing experience 💪
Why is it DFS sites that lose and can’t pay debts always publicly accuse their users of cheating?
NHA did it, Weinstein did it 2x (Theive Fantasy) and now Units accusing T&C violations
Admit you made mistakes and got crushed, happens to everyone
Why does
@ThriveFantasy
bother me?
They are a black eye on the entire industry. How will this industry grow if users have to worry about getting paid. This is the
#1
reason why regulation is necessary.
@PrizePicks
product team has been hard at work...you can now add a player to your lineup build from the last 5 game screen (web only rn). Click the upper right corner, turns the proj. gold and adds the player to the entry you are building
Assuming he lost $1M over 18 months with the bookie holding 20%, that means the bookie was letting him bet $10K daily on an $85K salary
Why would a bookie let him build up 12x his annual salary in debt?
The more details that come out, the less believable the story gets IMO
Per ESPN reporting, "Shohei Ohtani's interpreter's salary with the Angels was about $85,000, he says, and by the end of 2022 he had lost over $1 million and was borrowing money from friends and family."
Seems like a timely post…
Books move off action not social posts, however if you post an edge with a large audience ppl will copycat it. The more ppl win with an edge, the easier it is for a book to spot it and larger priority to close the gap.
Do sites “know” something about promoted players? NO
Should you be skeptical of certain sites promotions? 1000% YES
Some sites:
-promote a price that is worse than a non promoted price on other sites
-bump a number before discounting it
-other random shady behavior
Ok everyone just talked to PP about the Nneka incident last night & looks like they paying out anyone who had unders & overs as long as your slips cashed. We have to understand something the stat keeping part is not on them but doing this is also what makes them the best!!
We have 2 new stat types
@PrizePicks
pass attempts and targets (RB/WR/TE). These may help in your research as the last 5 game information is not present.
Apologies for the incorrect illustration of the Mitchell discount. Our intent was to give a 3 pt discount and wanted to call attention to it. Never intended to mislead, but understand how that was the interpretation. Good luck!
@PrizePicks
Soccer fans,
@JoinHotStreak
just launched our new product with over/under on goals, shots, shots on target (more categories in the future)
MLS, UCL, EPL, La Liga, Ligue 1
We've all seen the trend
#girlmath
but how about some
#degenmath
Dec 31, you are up $1,000 on the year, you lose $401 that night. You no longer have to pay taxes on your winnings so you really made $400 🤔
@PrizePicks
anyone that took Ohtani (P) U6.0 or U8.5 fantasy score last night, have had Ohtani treated as a DNP/tie. Some members were potentially given misinformation before placing their entry yesterday around his eligibility for the W. I apologize for the confusion.
Missed opportunity in not live streaming the projection process…
“What’s their height/weight/age?”
“Did they play any hoops above the high school level?”
“Any Instagram posts of them playing basketball?”
Anyone that’s tried to play NBA DFS the last 2 weeks of the season, the current conditions are 100x worse. End of season you can guess who’s locked in or tanking. Everyday it’s like we are picking 15 random names out of a hat to go into Covid protocol.
The fine print is even more scammy…to get the $10K you need to play $100K in action in the next 3 weeks. Not sure it’s even possible to get that much action down that quickly on there
If you were orchestrating a Ponzi scheme, this is exactly the type of promo you’d run.
***No legitimate site gives out $10K in promo funds or is seeking deposits of $50K - a massive 🚩 IMO
The screams WE NEED $
BroLo (REB)
Lillard (AST, PTS...everything)
Beasley (PTS)
Are the biggest beneficiaries if he's out...luckily WAS gives up 3rd most points and most REB so if you want to speculate you could easily get there regardless
Could be totally wrong here but this feels like a game that Giannis sits.
Played a season high 38 mins on Sat, playing WAS on the road tonight and has BOS on Wed on ESPN
Just a remind
@PrizePicks
fam, the "touchdown" board is passing + rushing + receiving TD's. We have 4 QB's on the TD board and don't have a passing TD board this weekend. The last 5 games is accurately showing their combo of TD's
