What are Demons and Goblins on PrizePicks

You boost your payout with Demons and Goblins on the PrizePicks board. You can filter through a player’s regular, Demon, and Goblin projections by clicking the left and right arrow icon next to a player’s projection.

Demons are identified by a bold red Gobby icon on the projection board. Demons are high-difficulty projections that can rocket your max payout up to 1000x your Lineup fee if you pick correctly. You must pick “More” on a Demon projection.

Goblins are identified by a green Gobby icon on the projection board and they’re designed to keep you in the green. These are safer picks that make it easier to land consistent victories. Because these projections are easier to hit, your max payout multiplier will be lower. You must pick “More” on a Demon projection.
