DraftKings is one of the best operators in the business, and one of the reasons for that is they continue to introduce innovative new products to the market. One of its features that has gone down very well with the public is the Same Game Parlay Extra, also referred to as SGPx. This option gives you more winning opportunities as part of your overall betting strategy by combining several multiple same game parlays (SGPs), and also single bets into one, large, SGPx.
Over recent years, Same Game Parlays have revolutionized the way players engage with their favorite sports and teams. DraftKings has now become a market leader for SGPs, giving customers another excellent exciting betting option.
A DraftKings SGPx gives you increased betting flexibility, huge potential payouts and also contributes to big bet slips. Let’s take a look at how to create a DraftKings SGPx, its rules and how to maximize its benefits.
What is an SGPx on DraftKings?
Before we get into the nuts and bolts of how to create your DraftKings SGPx, let’s first be clear about what this bet entails. Essentially, SGPx is a top feature on the DraftKings sportsbook that allows you to build a custom parlay with several same game bets, and if you choose to, single wagers from numerous games as well. It is a really beneficial tool that enhances your sports betting strategy, allowing you to combine same game parlay bets and increase your potential payouts, while also adding excitement to your betting experience.
For example, you could say you are a big NFL fan and you like the look of two same game parlays for this Sunday’s slate of games. One of the SGPs has odds at -125 and includes several legs from the Kansas City Chiefs and the Buffalo Bills, while the other has -150 odds and includes wagers for another game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Washington Commanders.
Each bet alone would not win you much. However, if you used the DraftKings SGPx feature to combine the two same game parlays into one, larger bet, then your odds increase to +200, meaning your potential winnings also take a significant jump.
You can also do it across multiple sports, for example you could create something like this:
- Patrick Mahomes to throw over 250 yards, James Cook anytime TD scorer,
- Mo Salah to score anytime, both teams to score, Liverpool over 2.5 goals
Building an SGPx can be far more lucrative than your standard parlay bet. It is no just DraftKings that offer these different types of parlays, either. FanDuel calls theirs the SGP Plus, while bet365 has the Bet Builder Plus. Many online sportsbooks are recognizing the popularity of this type of feature and are willing to offer it to keep players engaged.
How to Build an SGPx on DraftKings
Building an SGPx on DraftKings is straightforward as long as you know what you are looking for. Once you have logged in to your DraftKings betting account, find the match you want to include in your SGPx wager. Make sure you toggle same game parlays on, then make your choices without placing the bet. Find the next SGP or single wager you want to add to the SGPx and then add it to the bet slip.
Once you have finished adding bets to your SGPx, go to the bet slip and scroll down to the bottom. You will notice a ‘parlay’ section with a small SGPx symbol. Enter your stake, then submit the bet.
It only takes a matter of minutes to get your SGPx live. As long as you have the games in mind you are interested in and are happy with the odds, it is just a case of adding picks, entering the stake when you are ready then away you go.
DraftKings SGPx Rules
DraftKings SGPx is an excellent feature that has been designed to benefit all bettors, them tons of possibilities. However, there are still some rules to consider, including:
SGPx availability: The DraftKings SGPx is available for both parlay and round robin bet combinations.
Take advantage of bonus bets: DraftKings allows you to use bonus bets within an SGPx wager, this gives you even more opportunities when betting.
SGPx will be viewed as a single bet: Remember that an SGPx bet, regardless of how many legs are involved, will be viewed as a single pick within a round robin or parlay combination.
SGPx restrictions: You are not allowed to parlay SGP bets and single wagers from the same game.
These are just some things to keep in mind when you are thinking about how to go about your SGPx bet. However, DraftKings will also have alerts in place to notify you when something is wrong and the bet can’t be placed.
What is the Difference Between a SGP & SGPx on DraftKings?
A DraftKings same game parlay and a DraftKings SGPx are very similar. The biggest difference is the flexibility, amount of options and the potential payouts offered by an SGPx.
An SGPx allows you to expand your parlay bets beyond one SGP, covering numerous events and creating a more exciting, expansive and immersive betting experience.
If we look at a standard NFL parlay on the DraftKings app, you are only allowed to combine several props/outcomes from a single game, limiting the options and also putting a ceiling on the odds. With an SGPx, you are given the freedom to combine several SGPs from two or more different NFL games. There is also the option to add in some single bets if you wish, such as a standard moneyline bet from another game. The ceiling on the odds with an SGPx becomes that much higher, and in turn means you could be in for a far bigger payout.
DraftKings SGPx is an Excellent Feature
The DraftKings SGPx offers so much flexibility it makes the experience building one really exciting. If, like me, you are a fan of multiple sports, it is a really great feeling of being able to customize your bet from different leagues to create one, large wager. Of course, the fact that if you win these bets you stand to receive a large payout also helps, as well.
