Speed Survivor vs FanDuel
Speed Survivor vs FanDuel
FanDuel's sportsbook offers live betting during games, which is the closest thing in its lineup to what Speed Survivor does. The two are still built on different ideas. This page compares how they work, not what they pay.
How FanDuel works
FanDuel runs the same two product lines as DraftKings: a sportsbook and salary-cap daily fantasy. The sportsbook sets odds on outcomes and pays winning wagers at those odds, and it includes live betting: markets that stay open while the game is played, with prices that move with the action.
Live betting is in-game, but it is still a wager against the book at a price the book sets. You choose which markets to play and when, the house takes the other side, and every wager settles on its own. The fantasy side is lineup contests decided by player statistics across a slate.
How Speed Survivor works
Speed Survivor is a survivor pool compressed into one live game. Twelve yes-or-no questions arrive during the game, one about every five minutes of game clock, generated from what is happening on the field. You score for being right and score more for being fast, cuts remove the bottom of the field at set points, and the entrants left standing at the final whistle split a prize pool funded by the entries. There are no projections to beat and no multipliers: your result depends on how you place against everyone else in the contest.
Side by side
| FanDuel | Speed Survivor | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | A sportsbook and a daily fantasy operator | A skill-based contest inside one live game |
| In-game play | Live markets at the book's odds | Twelve questions, the same for every entrant |
| Who sets the terms | The book sets the odds | Speed Labs sets the question, never a price |
| Who you play against | The house on the sportsbook; other users in fantasy | The other entrants in the contest |
| Speed matters | No | Yes, faster correct answers score more |
| Elimination | No | Yes, cuts and lives |
| Where the payout comes from | The book, at its odds; or a fantasy prize pool | A pool funded by entries, held by a custodian, may be topped up |
| Settled | Per wager, or after the slate | The same night |
Who each one suits
If you want to pick your spots and take a price on them, live betting is built for that. If you want every entrant facing the same question at the same moment, scored on who reads it right and fastest, with a field that thins until the survivors split the pot, that is Speed Survivor.
