Bet Overview

Example
At the start of a Test match between England and Zimbabwe, we might quote England at 16 - 17.5 on the Win Index. That is to say they would be strong favourites to win the match.
If you thought England could justify this favouritism you would go high (buy) at 17.5 for your chosen stake, in this case, £10 a point.
If England confirmed your view and went on to win the match they would have been awarded 25 points and Zimbabwe 0 points.
Had you bought at 17.5 you would have made 7.5 times your stake
(25 - 17.5) x your stake = 7.5 x £10 = £75
However had you sold England at 16 then you would have lost 9 times your stake
(25 - 16) x your stake = 9 x £10 = -£90
Zimbabwe, on the other hand, might have been quoted at 5 - 6.5 at the start of the test. If you had gone high (bought) at 6.5 it would be important to note that both a draw and a Zimbabwean win would be profitable for you.
