Does a bet get voided if a player gets injured?

Every sportsbook will cancel your bet if the player is inactive per the league or team's official injury report. That's the case if you bet the over or under. Some books will honor the bet if the player is active, even if he or she doesn't play a single second.

What happens if you bet a prop and that player never sees the court, field, diamond or ice?

Depending on the sportsbook, your bet may or may not stand.

There are three primary ways that books handle this situation:

Every sportsbook will cancel your bet if the player is inactive per the league or team’s official injury report. That’s the case if you bet the over or under. Some books will honor the bet if the player is active, even if he or she doesn’t play a single second. Other books require the player to at least appear in the game — whether it’s a snap, minute, inning, etc. — for the bet to stand, whether it’s an over or under.

A few other things to know:

Differences by sport: Some books treat props differently by sport. FanDuel requires a player to be active per the NFL’s injury report for bets to count, but in the NBA, the player must “take the court” for bets to stand. In sports like MLB and soccer, where you cannot be subbed back in after leaving the game, players must start the game for the props to count. If it’s part of a regular parlay: If your prop is part of a parlay across multiple games, that bet will be dropped but the rest of the parlay will still count, just with a smaller payout. If it’s part of a same game parlay: Most sportsbooks will void your entire same game parlay if one player doesn’t play. That’s because they bake in the correlation and if one player doesn’t play, it changes the likelihood of everything else happening in a game. Whether or not that’s fair is a different topic, but this is how most books do it. DraftKings recently changed its process and will reprice the parlay without that player’s prop if the player doesn’t get in the game. College props can be a mess: College props aren’t a huge market, but because there are no official injury reports and sometimes inconsistent reporting on snap counts, books have a little more liberty in voiding bets. If you have experience with how different books handle it, let me know on Twitter. All United States sportsbooks are required to post House Rules, which contain these details, but many of them don’t detail every specific scenario. House rules are easiest to find by simply Googling something like “DraftKings house rules” since they can often be hard to find by navigating the websites themselves.

Each book handles things differently by sport, but here are how a few of the major ones in the U.S. handle NFL player props:

NFL Rules by Sportsbook

1. DraftKings

Rule: Must play one snap

House rule: For player prop markets, any bets on a player who is listed as “inactive” on nfl.com will be voided. All other bets will stand.

Bets will be refunded on wagers where one or both players are listed as inactive.

Passing yardage props are settled as per gross passing yards.
