How to read it
A 5-pick Power slip needs each pick to hit about 55% of the time just to break even. A pick the sportsbooks price around -140 (58%) clears that. A coin flip pick does not.
What it means for you
- Only play picks that clear the break-even for your slip size.
- Flex 3 and 4-pick slips need a higher hit rate than Power. At 5 and 6 picks Flex needs a little less, and it still pays when you miss one.
- Adding a weak pick to a slip lowers the value of the whole slip.
