Why it matters
Simple onboarding for new members
1) Join and verify
Sign in by magic link, set your display name, and confirm your invite code with the commissioner.
2) Understand share bankroll
Your balance is tracked in shares. Share price updates with league performance, so your value changes even before withdrawal windows.
3) Place picks responsibly
Use singles or parlays, but keep stake sizing consistent. Most members risk 2-8% of shares per standard ticket.
4) Let auto-grading settle
When games are final, tickets grade automatically and standings refresh for everyone in the pool.
League rules
- League access is invite-only. Every account must be approved by the commissioner.
- Bets lock at the listed market start time. No edits after lock.
- Stake sizing is member-managed; use risk controls that match your strategy.
- Parlays are capped at 10 legs and grade only after every leg is final.
- Void markets are refunded at original stake; partial-game cancellations follow feed rules.
- No vig or house edge is applied by the platform; payouts use vig-free odds derived from the listed market.
- Scores and results are imported from the league feed and graded automatically.
Payout calculations
Bankroll value
Your Shares × Current Share Price
Example: 143.5 shares × $11.20 = $1,607.20 projected bankroll value.
Risk per bet
Stake Shares ÷ Current Shares
Example: risking 12 shares from a 120-share stack means 10% of bankroll at risk.
Single-bet payout
Stake × Decimal Odds
Example: 8 shares at 1.91 returns 15.28 shares (7.28 share profit) if it wins.
Parlay payout
Stake × (Leg1 × Leg2 × ... × LegN)
Example: 4 shares at 1.80 × 1.95 × 1.70 returns 23.87 shares.
Teaser payout
Stake × Fixed teaser odds
Teasers do not multiply each leg price. The payout comes from the preset teaser table for that sport, point buy, and leg count.
Teaser payout logic
Football teasers always use the fixed football table, while basketball teasers change based on the point option you buy. If any teaser leg loses, the ticket loses. If legs push, the payout drops to the reduced leg count instead of multiplying the original legs together.
