How does a Player place a wager?

The Player can enter predictions for each market and submit the fun wager, after which a QR code will be displayed. The Host will scan the QR code and the fun wager will be confirmed and logged, making it viewable in the real-time event leaderboard.

What are good event examples for a very larger number of Players (above 50)?

For Soccer, markets like ["Total number of shots on Target" and "Total number of Corners"] realistically presents around 64 combinations and ["Total number of shots" and "Total number of Corners"] presents around 100 combinations. The higher the number of combinations, the greater chance of a single winner. Another example is ["Team A: minute of 1st goal" vs "Team B: minute of 1st goal"] as it presents more than 5,000 combinations. Note: this can be setup as a Combination event (i.e. simply closest to the minute of 1st goal for each team) or as a Versus event which by default will mean the team who scores last wins. Generally this is does make sense; hence the "Low Result Wins" event option should be enabled. This event option ensures the winning Market must score first and an event with this option is displayed with a downward facing arrow.  

For Golf, markets like ["Byson longest drive"] vs ["Champ longest drive"] presents a very large number of combinations.

Other sports event types like Rugby and American Football provide good candidates on natural markets like ["Team A score" vs "Team B score"] as this provides around 256 combinations. Basketball may provide slightly less combinations. Similarly sports like Cricket scores can provide even greater combinations.

Even Tennis can present around 25 combinations with simple markets like ["Player A number of Aces" vs Player B number of Aces"].

Which markets are best for custom Fun Jackpot Events?

Fun Jackpot Events require a perfect prediction in order for a Player win, else the entire Fun Pot is kept by the Host and carried over to another Event. It should therefore be difficult to predict the results of these markets, especially if there are a large number of Punters.

Low scoring events like Soccer, ["Team A score" vs "Team B score"], do NOT naturally make good candidates as the scores are usually between 0 and 4 for each market which is only 25 combinations. Hence the chances of the Jackpot being won (and shared) is high - especially when there are many Punters (or when one side is heavily favoured). However, markets like ["Total number of shots on Target" and "Total number of Corners"] realistically presents around 64 combinations and ["Total number of shots" and "Total number of Corners"] presents around 100 combinations.

The higher the number of combinations, the greater chance of the Fun Pot not being won and higher number of Punters can be supported. An excellent candidate for a soccer Fun Jackpot event would be ["Team A Minute of 1st goal" vs "Team B Minute of 1st goal"] as it presents more than 5,000 combinations; however for soccer and similar low scoring sports where a zero vs zero result is reasonably common, it is best to utilize the feature "Disable 0-0 prediction". This disables Punters from placing a fun wager on a 0-0 outcome and increases the chances of growing the Fun Jackpot. It also removes "lazy" market coverage 2nd fun wagers (i.e. backup/layoff fun wagers).

Other sports event types like Rugby and American Football provide good candidates on natural markets like ["Team A score" vs "Team B score"] as this provides around 256 combinations. Similarly sports like Cricket scores can provide even greater combinations. Other natural score combination examples are Basketball around 81 and Baseball around 36. Golf can present all types of markets, but even a simple market like ["Player A score" vs "Player B score"] can generally produce around 36 combinations which may be perfect for a smaller number of Punters.
