Qualifying Bets

When offered, you can apply a Ghost Leg Promotional Token on:

• NFL Games on Sunday
• Pre-game bets and live bets.
• Parlays, Same Game Parlays (SGPs), or SGPx
• Bets with 3 or more legs
  
  • Each leg must have minimum odds of -500 or longer
  • Maximum total bet odds: +10,000
• Round Robin (RR) bets are not eligible for this promotion.
• You can confirm your "Ghost Leg" token was successfully applied to your wager in your My Bets tab. If the offer was successfully applied, your bet slip will contain a purple 'Ghost Leg' label.

Important

• Only one leg can settle as “Lost”. If more than one leg loses, the entire bet will be settled as a loss.
• Token doesn’t apply to a specific leg. It will void whichever one leg loses—if exactly one does.
• If the bet is cashed out, your Ghost Leg Token is voided and not returned.
• If all legs win, you get your full winnings, but your Ghost Leg Token is not returned.
• Token expires at the conclusion of the final NFL game on Sunday.
• You must opt-in to an "Ghost Leg” promotion each time it is offered.
• One qualifying bet per customer during the promotional period.
• Tokens are single-use and have no cash value.
• Maximum wager amounts may apply.

For example, and for illustrative purposes only: You place a $10, 5-leg NFL parlay using the Ghost Leg Token. The odds for each leg are as follows:
Leg 1: -400
Leg 2: +150
Leg 3: +200
Leg 4: -150
Leg 5: -250

The original parlay has total odds of +2087, resulting in a potential payout of $208.75 ($10 stake, $198.75 profit). Leg 1  is incorrect. The bet will be settled as a 4-leg parlay excluding the losing leg. The remaining legs (Legs  2, 3, 4, and 5) have odds of +1650 , resulting in a cash payout of $175.00 ($10 stake, $165.00  profit) based on the 4-leg odds.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I apply my Ghost Leg Token?

A visual representation of applying a Ghost Leg Token can be found here:

What happens if one leg loses but the rest win?

The losing leg is voided, the odds are recalculated based on the winning legs, and any winnings will be credited to your account. 

Once settled, your bet status will update to “Ghost Win.” This status means your payout has been recalculated based on the winning selections only. You will also see a “Ghost Leg” tag on the losing selection to identify which selection was removed.

What happens if my qualifying bet has more than one losing leg?

Only one leg can settle as a loss for your bet to remain eligible with a Ghost Leg token. If two or more legs settle as a loss your entire bet will be settled as a loss.

Will I get my Ghost Leg Token back if my bet is voided or I cash out?

• If a leg of your qualifying bet with a Ghost Leg token applied is voided, it will be excluded from the Ghost Leg calculation, and the promotion will apply to the remaining non-voided legs that are settled as either won or lost. 
• If, due to voided legs, your qualifying bet with a Ghost Leg token applied no longer meets the qualifying bet criteria, the Token will be re-issued provided there are still NFL Sunday games remaining during the promotional period to place a new qualifying bet.
• If you cash out the bet, the Ghost Leg Token is forfeited and not returned.
