FanFolio prices teams based on where the market expects them to finish in a league or tournament. Every finishing position has a guaranteed payout, so the market stays active from first whistle to final standings.
Every league or tournament on FanFolio becomes a live market. Each team gets a stock with a price that reflects where other traders think it will finish. If the market believes a team will win the league, its stock trades near the top payout. If the market thinks a team will be eliminated early, its stock trades lower.
When the season or tournament ends, every stock pays out based on actual finishing position — first place pays the most, last place pays the least. The gap between the current price and the expected payout is where the opportunity lives.
Traditional sports betting locks you into one outcome before the game starts. FanFolio lets you hold a portfolio of positions across an entire field of teams, and trade in and out as form, injuries, and results shift the market.
Because payouts are tied to finishing position rather than a single match result, there is always something to evaluate — a team on a winning streak becomes more expensive, an upset creates a buying opportunity, and a mid-table team drifting up the standings might be underpriced.
