a BPE ticket.
Every ticket on this site has the same parts. Here's what each one means and what to do with it.
The header
Top of every ticket: the league logo, what kind of card it is (Game Picks, Player Props or PrizePicks) and the time it went out. That time is the second it hit the Telegram channel. What's on the site is exactly what the channel got, nothing added after the fact.
The plays
Each line is one bet. On game cards it's a team and a win percentage. On player props it's the player, over or under, the line and the price. On PrizePicks slips it's the pick, and the whole slip is meant to be played together as one entry.
The win %
On game picks, that's our model's chance that the side wins. 62% means we expect it to land about six times in ten, and lose about four. Nothing on the card is a guarantee. It's a number we're willing to be measured against.
The bolts
One bolt: the play cleared every filter. Two: something extra is lined up behind it. Three: several edges stacked on the same play. Bolts aren't confidence and they're not a bet size. Every play on the card cleared the bar. The bolts tell you which ones cleared it with room.
The price
On player props you'll see the HardRock price at the moment we posted. We only post a prop when its price is inside our range. If the number you see when you open the book is a lot worse, that's information. The odds converter shows you what the difference costs.
The tail buttons
Player props come with Tail buttons. One per play loads that exact bet in HardRock. "Tail all plays" loads the whole card as one slip. Moneylines don't get tail buttons. Open HardRock and take the side you like at the price you like. PrizePicks slips get a "Play on PrizePicks" button. Code HMA if you're new there.
The WHY
Under a lot of tickets there's a short note on each play: the matchup, the trend, the reason it made the card. That's not a sales pitch, it's the work. Read it or don't, the play is the same either way.
The stamps
After the games settle, each line gets stamped from the ledger. Green W for a win, L for a loss, P for a push. The ticket header gets a big stamp with the final count. Stamped tickets stay up forever. Nothing gets edited, nothing gets deleted, and the record page adds every one of them up.
What to do with it
Pick the plays you want, bet one unit on each, and let the month decide how it went. Not the night. If you're new, start with the unit guide so the first bad week is a bad week and nothing more.
