Payday Fantasy and Betr Picks compared on picks per entry, entry formats, sports, where to play and deposit methods.

Payday Fantasy · Product

The short answer: Payday Fantasy and Betr Picks work much the same way, with MORE or LESS picks and entries of up to 10 picks. Payday adds tennis and Counter-Strike 2 to the board, starts at $1, and takes more deposit methods, including credit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Cash App and crypto.

What's the same

On both you pick MORE or LESS on player stats and build an entry of up to 10 picks. Both offer an all-correct format and a flex format that still pays with misses, and both have injury rules for players who leave early.
