A player prop is a type of [[proposition bet]] on the stats or achievements of an individual player in a given match. Player props are often driven by public interest and perception. Common examples include individual totals for how many points, goals, or hits a player will record.
== Player Prop Limits ==
Betting limits for player props are often much lower compared to standard markets due to smaller betting traffic. Some player props have high [[variance]] preventing [[oddsmaker]]s from setting sharp lines. This is countered by lowering betting limits and increasing [[vig]].
== Types of Player Props ==
Featured below are examples of popular player props offered for each major sport. There is often a correlation between the popularity of the event and the number of player props offered (one would expect to see a larger selection of props for the super bowl compared to a pre-season game).
