What is FanDuel Bet Protect+, and how is it tracked?
Bet Protect+ is FanDuel's injury protection on player props, for a fee. In The Sunday Board you turn on a Bet Protect+ chip, enter the fee, and mark a protected player who left injured. This page describes how it is recorded; it isn't advice on whether to use it.

How the board records it
- The fee. Enter it when you add the bet: 3% of the stake unless the slip says otherwise (FanDuel charged 0% on NFL bets in September). Screenshot imports can fill it in from the slip.
- The fee counts as risked. It is added to what you risked and isn't refunded, whatever happens.
- Left injured. If a protected player leaves the game injured and doesn't come back, open the card and tap Left injured, protected on that pick.
| Straight bet | Parlay | |
|---|---|---|
| The protected pick | Stake back | That leg comes off |
| Payout | Stake returned | Repriced on the remaining legs (an estimate, so check it against FanDuel) |
| The fee | Not refunded | Not refunded |
Undo hands the pick back to normal grading. Ejections, foul-outs and benchings aren't covered, and a player who didn't play at all is voided anyway.
What to keep in mind
The coverage rules are FanDuel's and can change; FanDuel's own terms decide what a given slip is owed. The board's repriced parlay is an estimate. No money moves through The Sunday Board.

Does the board apply it automatically?
