We’ve all had a bet at the bookies. One week you’ll take a wild punt at odds of 100/1, or maybe more; the next week you trawl the markets and pick out something you think really could happen. Maybe you back your favourite goalscorer to bag the opener, or take the ‘over’ on booking points because two teams have a bit of bad blood.
Whatever the bet is, it’s great when you win; only this isn’t as often as you’d like. When you lose, you lose the lot. When you place the bet, it’s ‘only a fiver’ and you’re feeling lucky, but at full-time, that fiver has never felt more valuable.
With SportStack, you can feed that urge to have a punt or dive into the data to maximise your risk/reward, without losing the lot. With each game, every player can payout between 0 and 100p. A player’s price in the run up to the game reflect the market’s expectation of the final payout. If you think that player is going to have a stormer, buy him; if you think he’s in for a hard day, sell him (yes, you read that right – you can short players too). At full time, you will collect or lose the difference between the payout and your transaction price. If this isn’t clear, head over to our SportStack Beginners’ Guide for a couple of examples that should clear things up.
