How to Trade

  1. Step 1 - Start with 100,000 (fake money) to buy and sell predictions

    We give you a Million Loots for free when you sign up. It's upto you to play wisely and earn more from then on.

  2. Step 2 - Buy predictions you believe will come true. Sell / Short (?) predictions that you belive won't come true.

    Sounds simple, doesn't it? Just find predictions that you feel are currently mis-priced and either buy / sell them based on what you think will happen.

    e.g. Say there is an Australia Vs Kenya cricket match and there is a prediction stating that "Australia will win the match" which is currently priced at 90. And if it comes true you will get 100 for each unit of the prediction.

    You feel that there is no way Australia can lose the game, so even that profit of 10 is assured. So you buy 1000 units of the prediction pushing up the price to 95.

  3. Step 3 - Climb the LordsOfOdds ladder…...Get onto the weekly, monthly and overall leaderboards…….Win prizes and virtual trophies and brag about it.

    Play smartly and keep rising in rank amongst the LordsOfOdds players. Also you can get onto the weekly, monthly and overall leaderbaords based on your performance during that period. Win virtual prizes for your Trophy Cabinet and brag about it to your friends.

  7. What are leaderboards?

    Leaderboards, are a list of the top players based on two kinds of criteria -

    1. The time period when you're a leader - i.e. Weekly, Monthly, Overall etc.

    2. The category in which you're a leader - Overall, Cricket, Football, Tennis etc.

    The profits you make on various predictions contributes towards your ranking in these various leaderbaords. So, if in a particular week, you make a lot of profits on Football predictions, you could be on top of the Weekly Football Leaderboard but during the course of the month if you're best performance has been in Cricket, you could feature on the Monthly Cricket Leaderboard.
