Tap Yes or No and set your amount
Tap a team's Yes price to bet on them winning it, or No to bet against. The order ticket shows the market price and how much is available. Enter an amount and confirm. Futures orders default to expiring when the event starts.
Tips
- •Chance is the price: 21% means the market prices that team at 21¢ to win it.
- •SET instead of a price means nobody is offering that side yet. You can name your own price with a limit order.
- •You don't have to hold to the end. You can sell a position back to the market before it settles.
Questions
Can I cash out a future early?+
You can sell your position back to the market before the event ends, at whatever price another bettor will pay. That can lock in a gain or cut a loss.
Why do the prices in a field add up to more than 100%?+
Each price is set separately by bettors, so a whole field usually adds up past 100. The market page explains this under How open is it.
What's the difference between Yes and No?+
Yes wins if that team wins the market. No wins if anyone else does.
Expected outcome
You'll open a futures market, compare teams by price, and open the order ticket on the Yes or No side you want.
