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]].
