I've read the instructions and they are very ambiguous and don't seem to tie in with the actual betting pages under the links.

If you choose SOLO you can input your own choices and stake...but where does that go?

If you choose syndicate (With other people) everything is greyed out and it's not clear what the choices are. You are going with the captains choices presumably....but  sometimes 20 of 22  1X2 choices are highlighted.  Why? You can't click on any of the grey boxes (nothing happens) and other choices are completely blank.

Can anyone explain - I don't understand it at all.

if you're joining a syndicate the choices have already been made,  the grey boxes are the outcomes covered, no win/draw for Sheff United as he didn't choose those options. Captain controls cash out.

You should be able to click on the syndicate bet to see what their choices are.

Then you can buy a share up to what is available, in specified units.

If you click on them 2 heads with a 7 under them it should expand and show you selections.

Obviously on the actual market, not on the forum.

As scand points out you have done that

And it is showing the selections for the syndicate

Sorry if I've confused further.

Thanks but sorry still don't understand.

So why is the captain choosing almost every outcome?

When I click on the "two heads" with the number of people involved nothing happens. It just opens or closes the same box.

How can there be more than one choice of selection if the captain chooses?

It doesn't make sense.

You're better off not understanding.

30% take out-- much better off sticking to the 100.5% markets you get on Betfair.

Probably won't hear from Dermbet for another 17 years.

Wonder what he'll have to sell in 2037.

he's covering 243 lines, 20p per line, the more lines (win/draw/win selections) the more the ticket cost, he can cover up to 50% of the ticket cost, which he has, he paid £24.30, he needs another £24.30 in contributions, 6 other people have contributed £13.17, 5 probably paid 2 quid and the other £3.17, if you paid the remaining £11.13 you would receive 22.9% of the payout, assuming yours is the only ticket that's won. The two heads just means how many individuals have contributed. Currently stands at £2,263, you'd win £518.2. Over 1200 units, conclusion, you'd probably win a fiver at best, assuming he doesn't cash out.
