Which sportsbook pays the most on anytime TDs
For every NFL player with an anytime touchdown price at five or more books, we took each book's last price in the three hours before kickoff and compared it with that player's median price. A book at +6% paid 6% more on a winning ticket than the typical book on the same player in the same game.
Data table
| Book | Payout vs median |
|---|---|
| FanDuel | +6.8% |
| DraftKings | +5.9% |
| Hard Rock | +3.4% |
| Fanatics | +2.0% |
| BetMGM | +1.8% |
| Pinnacle | +1.5% |
| Caesars | 0.0% |
| BallyBet | -3.8% |
| BetRivers | -3.9% |
| BetParx | -4.0% |
The averages hide how often the order flips. DraftKings had the top price on 35% of players and FanDuel on 30%, but BetMGM had it on 29% and Hard Rock on 25%. No book is the best book on touchdowns. BetRivers had the lowest price on 49% of players, BetParx on 43% and BallyBet on 42%, so those are the ones to check last.
How big the gap is at each price
The table shows the median worst, typical and best price by how likely the player is to score. Longshots carry the widest gaps: the same +1150 player is +950 at one book and +1400 at another.
| Player tier | Worst | Typical | Best |
|---|---|---|---|
| Goal-line favorites | -118 | -105 | +104 |
| Starters | +195 | +220 | +240 |
| Secondary options | +360 | +406 | +460 |
| Longshots | +950 | +1150 | +1400 |
Put a number on the starter row. Say a player really scores 31% of the time. At +240 a $100 bet is worth +$5 on average. At +195 the same bet is worth -$9. Nothing about the player changed, only the book, and that one choice swung the bet by $14.
What it looks like on one Sunday
Four players from a single NFL slate, priced at seven or more books within three hours of kickoff.
| Player | Worst | Typical | Best |
|---|---|---|---|
| Quinshon Judkins | +115 | +188 | +195 |
| RJ Harvey | +170 | +240 | +300 |
| Michael Wilson | +180 | +235 | +275 |
| Josh Downs | +250 | +288 | +380 |
Why touchdown prices differ so much
Most books post only the yes side. With no under to compare, you cannot see the margin in one book's price, which is exactly why books can carry more of it here than on a spread.
Books also price these markets on their own. A spread gets hammered by sharp money until every book agrees within a few cents. A backup tight end at +1200 gets very little money, so a book's number can sit wrong all week and nobody corrects it.
Late news moves touchdown prices fast and unevenly. When a starter is ruled out on Sunday morning, the backup's price falls at some books within minutes and at others much later. That gap is where the best prices on the table above tend to come from.
How to get the best anytime touchdown price
1. Pick the player first, on your own reasoning. Shopping is for the price, not for the idea.
2. Open the NFL game on Betwatch and read the player's price across books. It compares 42 odds sources side by side.
3. Check more than your favorite two apps. The best price moved around ten books in our sample, and even the two leaders held it less than 35% of the time.
4. Look hardest at longshots and at players whose role changed on injury news. That is where the gaps were widest.
5. Convert the price to a chance with the odds converter. If the best price still implies more than you think the player is worth, pass.

Anytime touchdown scorer odds: which sportsbook pays the most?: questions
Which sportsbook has the best anytime touchdown odds?
FanDuel and DraftKings paid the most on average in our study, about 6% to 7% above the typical price. No single book wins every player: DraftKings had the top price on 35% of players and FanDuel on 30%.
Where can I compare anytime touchdown scorer odds?
On a Betwatch NFL game page, which lists player props with each book's price and needs no account. A free account adds the Live Board, with the player's recent hit rate next to the price.
What does anytime touchdown scorer mean?
You win if the player scores a touchdown at any point in the game, overtime included at most books. A pass thrown for a touchdown does not count for the quarterback, only a touchdown he runs or catches himself.
How do anytime touchdown odds work?
They are ordinary American odds on a yes bet. At +220 a $100 bet returns $220 in profit if the player scores, and that price implies a 31% chance before you remove the margin.
Why are anytime touchdown odds so different between books?
Most books post only the yes side and take little sharp money on these players, so each price stays close to what that book chose. Injury news also reaches different books at different times.
