Which Betting App Has the Best Same Game Parlay Builder?

Fanatics Sportsbook emerged as the winner of this test, and it did so mostly due to one key feature. The 'quick parlay' and 'select by player' options take all of the work out of building a parlay. I went in knowing exactly which players I wanted to bet on, and was able to quickly select those 4 guys and get rid of all other props. It's also extremely easy to sort by which prop you are looking for. Any complaints are nitpicky, as the overall experience was great. If I had to have one, outside of those features, the SGP navigation isn't great, but the good thing is, there's no reason not to use those helpful tools.

SGP Score: 8.4/10

Hard Rock Bet was a real contender for the #1 spot on the list. It may not be the biggest betting app, but it does so many things right. First off, it's so visually satisfying. I never got overwhelmed by the clutter. Rather than crowd the builder with alternate lines, Hard Rock Bet lets you customize your lines with a slider available under each prop. Most sportsbooks don't even show unders for alternate lines, whereas with the slider, there are still overs and unders available. It's not as deep as the top dogs, but it makes a very good case to become your go-to for building Same Game Parlays.

After a rebranding from ESPN Bet, theScore Bet has held its own as one of the top new betting apps. Similar to Hard Rock Bet, theScore Bet has a clean-looking SGP builder that isn't overrun by filler. Also, the odds were tied for the best I found in this test, which is obviously a huge plus. Feature-wise, being tied into theScore brand helps because you can get in-depth game previews with one click. The main gripe I have with it is that the regular over/under lines are buried beneath alternate lines that aren't very helpful. As you'll see later in this list, I'm not the biggest fan of the chart-looking displays of alternate lines with too big of intervals (showing odds for 15+ points, 20+ points, 25+ points, etc).

SGP Score: 7.8/10

DraftKings Sportsbook is definitely one of the better apps for building same game parlays. The layout is intuitive, but it features alternate odds too high, while standard over/under lines require a lot of scrolling to get to. Where it really stands out is with its special features that provide us with alternate ways to make parlays. It has a toggle to turn on Dynamic Odds, and simplifies SGPs with its GameScript parlay builder. However, it froze up when I quickly left the app and came back, and wouldn't let me select props until I backed out to the homepage and then went back into the game.

SGP Score: 7.6/10

FanDuel Sportsbook's SGP builder is more than serviceable, but it doesn't top our list as the best in this area like it once did. Other betting apps have improved upon what FanDuel started by making their SGPs easier to build and not so hard to look at. I do love the market depth and different ways to build a parlay. FanDuel has some neat and helpful features, but to the casual bettor, they aren't as important. The YourWay bets are a great way to customize a parlay, but Hard Rock Bet does the same thing better with its easy slider. If you're an experienced bettor who doesn't mind taking a little extra time building SGPs, FanDuel Sportsbook is still a very good option.

SGP Score: 7.6/10

In my experience, Bet365 is never the best-looking betting app, but it always makes up for it in functionality. For SGPs, its standout feature is being the only sportsbook other than DraftKings to have an option for Dynamic Odds. More value Bet365 offers is providing great odds, as the +800 for this parlay was tied with the best I found (BetMGM showed +900 only because it made me take a different line).  On the downside, it features a chart at the top of the SGP builder, again with big intervals between stats. I'd much rather see regular lines first, and have to dive deeper for alt lines, rather than the other way around.

SGP Score: 7.4/10

Caesars Sportsbook outperformed its rival, BetMGM, due to better customization and navigation. However, it fell short in one major area. While odds weren't exactly a key focus of this test, as I was more interested in how the SGPs function, they do matter a lot to bettors. Building the same parlay across 8 apps, Caesars Sportsbook had the total odds at +650, whereas they ranged from +700-800 on the rest. That is a significant value to miss out on.

SGP Score: 6.6/10

And in last place in my test comes BetMGM. Overall, this was a disappointing result for a company that once called itself the "King of Parlays." The main beef I have with the SGP builder on BetMGM is the complete lack of basic over/under lines. How come my only options are alt lines for simple props like points, rebounds, or assists? As the betslip screenshot shows, I had to take Cade Cunningham for 10+ assists because his standard 8.5 line wasn't anywhere to be found. It does have over/under lines for player combos only (such as O/U player points + assists), which is very strange, since it offers O/U on those but not for single props. The rest of the builder is fine, but it did nothing to stand out over the rest.
