Iโ€™m Still trying to figure out how this was a 2.2x and not 3x payout. Any help?

PrizePicks Payout Confusion: Why Did My Multiplier Change?

The DNP and tie bring the lineup down to a 2 pick Power therefore the payout changes. You can see the exact breakdown under "Details", "Payouts" and selecting the "i"

Yep, I understand. When I had Collier and Wiggins as a two man, it was a 3x. I tailed this lineup from someone and they got a 3x and I got a 2.2x. 2 man power is a 3x, right?

Correct but your payout is not standard as you had a Goblin pick in your lineup

But why would the goblin affect the payout if it was voided? Then the slip would just revert back to a 2 man, right? 2 man is a 3x. If Wiggins or Collier was a goblin, Iโ€™d understand the 2.2x. That would make sense but when the lineup reverts to a 2 man, itโ€™s a 3x.

If what youโ€™re saying is correct, then if Jackson was a demon and then became a DNP, the payout would be higher than 3x?
