- What does “POT” mean?
Pot is profit divided by turn over
An example of a positive POT: each tip is made with hypothetical $100 tip if you have 10 bets with $1000 worth of spend and you would have won $1500 that is a POT of 50%
(1500/1000 = 1.5 which means they won their money back plus 50%)
An example of a negative POT: each tip is made with hypothetical $100 tip if you have 10 bets with $1000 worth of spend and if they only got a return of $800 that would give them a POT of -20%
(800/1000 = 0.8 which means they only got back 80% of the money they spent meaning they lost 20% of their money)
- What is strike?
Your win rate displayed as a percentage, how many wins a user has accumulated per number of bets made – their win rate. Eg: 7 wins out of 10 bets = 70% strike rate.
- Why are some members tips blanked out?
Typically blanked out tips are from private groups set up by pros who are selling their tips. Some members tips are paid as they are from professional or well informed members of the public and have a higher probability of producing a favourable outcomes. Always check a members pot and strike rate to determine the credibility of their tips before purchase.
- How often is the leader board updated?
The leaderboard will update each time you close and reopen the app.
