Hi guys:

Just a reminder you can bet in play on every single game. I've linked to the December 28th odds canada/kazakhastan market today with some good early liquidity (these prices will change as the day and the games progress.

Canada/Kazakhatan

1. Remember, you can bet on a team just like you normally would at ANY OTHER BOOKIE. Simply un-tick the 'Back & Lay' and 'Market Depth' options to get the odds in decimal (see sports homepage (top right) for a US /decimal odds conversion table.


EXAMPLE FROM DAY 1

At this particular moment in time (odds change in real time.), you can bet on:
-Finland to Win at 5.5 (+450) in 60 minutes
-Sweden to Win at 1.53 (-190) in 60 minutes
-Tie at 5.9 (+490) in 60 minutes

2. By ticking the market depth option, you can find out how much is available to bet at those odds (these are all of the unmatched bets placed on the exchange by others).

So it looks like there is £563 (Canadian accounts show $$) available to bet on Sweden at 1.53 (-190).
- £73 available to bet on Sweden at 1.52 (-193) and
- £404 available to bet on Sweden at 1.51 (-195)

3. If you tick the Back and Lay box, you will now see the other side of the market. This is where you have the ability to become the bookie and accept a bet from somebody else. All of the odds and the amounts which are available are now reversed.

Example: So if you 'Lay' Sweden for $100 at 1.54 (You are betting AGAINST Sweden to win.)
-You are taking somebody's bet on Sweden.
-If you win (FINLAND WINS OR a TIE in 60mins), your profit is the 'Backer's Stake' of $100.00.
-The amount you stand to lose is the 'Total Liability' of $54.00. )

Example 2:

Example: So if you 'Lay' The Tie for $100 at 6 (You are betting AGAINST the TIE to win.)
-You are taking somebody's bet on 'TIE'.
-If you win (FINLAND WINS OR SWEDEN WINS in 60mins), your profit is the 'Backer's Stake' of $100.00.
-The amount you stand to lose is the 'Total Liability' of $500.00. )

4. Tick the Market Depth box again to give you the full view of the entire market. That's all the money available on both sides of the market.

Contest starts January 2nd, still lots of time to register.

I suppose if we've had an account for years and so can't open an account with the promo code then we are excluded?

is NYC close enough to Canada?

Hey,

It's obviously closer to Canada than say Miami...so let me ask the guys back in England. I'll let you know what they say.

FOLKS, I initially had not reaized that some teams would get a BYE to the semi final, so there will be a total of 10 picks in this contest with tiebreaker, not 14 picks.

4 picks on Jan 2
4 picks on Jan 3
2 Picks on Jan 4 (with Tiebreaker).

I will get the Picks thread for JAN 2 started shortly.
