What Combo Prop means
A combo prop combines multiple statistical categories for one player into a single number, most commonly seen in basketball as "points plus rebounds plus assists" (PRA). Combo props reduce variance compared to betting a single category alone, since a player having an off night in one category can still be offset by a strong performance in another, which is part of why they've become popular both with bettors and with sportsbooks looking to offer higher-volume, lower-variance prop markets.
