The projection you see first is not the only one available. Alt lines let you take a different number on the same player, at a different multiplier.

An alt line is an alternative projection on the same player. Instead of one fixed number, you get several to choose between — each carrying its own multiplier. Take a number that is easier to clear and the multiplier is lower. Take a harder one and it is higher.
Because the standard line is not always where your read is. You might be confident a player scores, but not confident he clears 24.5. An alt line lets you express that properly: take the lower number at a smaller multiplier rather than passing on the player entirely, or push to a higher one when you think the projection is too cautious.
It is the difference between a board that asks whether you agree with a number and one that asks what number you would set.
Each pick in an entry carries its own multiplier, and those multipliers combine to set the payout. Swapping a standard line for an alt line changes that pick's multiplier, and the entry's payout moves with it. The number is shown before you submit, so you always know what an entry pays before it is placed.
The usual entry rules still apply: 2 to 10 picks, players from at least two different teams, and each player only once per entry — so you cannot take two alt lines on the same player in one slip.
Picks are available before a game and during it, with live lines updating as the game moves. Pre-game and live picks can sit in the same entry, so an alt line taken before kickoff can share a slip with one taken at halftime.
An alt line settles like any other pick: above or below the number you took. If the player is ruled out or does not play, every projection on that player is voided — MORE, LESS and alt lines alike — and your entry is repriced around the picks that remain.
