What is a floor bet?
In PropLab, a floor bet is an over whose line sits under the low end of the player's projection range tonight, at a price of -500 or better. The idea: he clears it even on a quiet night. It is a starting point for research, not a sure thing.
How PropLab marks one
Each stat with a projection gets a range: a floor (a quiet night), a middle and a ceiling (a big night). An over whose line is under the floor, or an under whose line is over the ceiling, gets the floor tag.
Lines priced shorter than -500 are left out, and so are first games back from injury and first-touchdown bets.
Why they still lose
Injuries mid-game, foul trouble, blowouts and short minutes happen. A quiet night can be quieter than the range.
Short prices need a high win rate: at -300 you need 75% just to break even.
Stacking several in a parlay multiplies the risk. Two or three legs is plenty.
