Higher likelihoods are not guarantees. Some risk means more uncertainty; around 50–70%, consider the 72-hour deadline if his status worsens. Expected out? Look for a later game where his estimate recovers.
If a star sits, cancel and get 75% back.
Any reason counts. Cancel at least 72 hours before tipoff. How it works
Games inside 72 hours of tipoff aren't eligible.
