Payouts and Coverage, Market by Market

Play colour rounds

Every multiplier on the board is priced against how often it lands. Once the two numbers are put side by side, the whole board stops looking like a menu of opportunities and starts looking like what it is.

The rule

Multiply the coverage by the payout and you get roughly the same number every time — a little under one. That shortfall is the operator's share, and it is why no market on the board is the clever choice.

Five digits at 1.95x, one digit at 9x, two digits at 4.5x: all three land within a couple of per cent of each other once the arithmetic is done.

Worked out

The Same Table With the Arithmetic Shown

Approximate figures. Operators differ slightly and none of them differ in the direction.

Main colour

Five in ten at about 1.95x. Coverage times payout comes to roughly 0.97.

0.97

Big or small

Identical structure with different labels, and the same product.

0.97

Bonus shade

Two in ten at about 4.5x, which lands in the same place.

0.90

Exact number

One in ten at about nine times, the widest spread on the board.

0.90

Covering two markets

Pays the share on both stakes and narrows the outcome rather than improving it.

What differs

Three Things That Genuinely Change

Not the expected cost per rupee, which is nearly constant, but everything about how a session feels.

Variance Variance

How hard it swings

An even-money market moves your balance in small steps. A nine-times market leaves it flat for long stretches and then jumps.

Survival Survival

How long a bankroll lasts

The same money buys many more rounds on a wide market, because the losses arrive in smaller pieces.

How the interface pulls

The high-multiplier grid is the largest element on most screens, and it is where players move after a run of losses.

Four Things Worth Remembering at the Screen

None of them is a system, and all four are decided before a round opens.

Wide coverage is cheaper per round. Not better in expectation by much, but the share retained is smallest on the even-money markets on most boards.

A big multiplier is a rarity, priced. Nine times exists because it lands about a tenth of the time, and the two facts are the same fact.

Combining markets is not hedging. Covering both sides of one digit means paying the operator's share twice on the same round.

The switch after losses is the expensive one. Moving from a half-coverage bet to a tenth-coverage bet at the moment the stake is largest is the most costly habit on this page.

Why the Board Looks Like a Menu

Because it is laid out like one. Different multipliers, different colours, different button sizes — all of it suggesting that some options are better value than others and that choosing well is part of playing. The arithmetic says otherwise: the numbers are set so that every route through the board costs about the same per rupee staked, which is exactly how a designed board works.

What the layout does change is behaviour. Bigger buttons with bigger numbers get pressed more often after losses, and that is a real effect on what a session costs, even though it is not an effect on the odds.

The One Number That Does Vary

Turnover. Not which market you pick, but how much money passes through the board in an hour — stake multiplied by rounds. It is the only figure here that a player fully controls and the only one where a decision changes the cost by a factor rather than a few per cent.

That calculation is on the house edge and turnover page, and the full list of guides is on the home page.

FAQ

Which colour trading market has the best odds?

+

None of them by much. The multipliers are priced against coverage, so five digits at 1.95x and one digit at 9x work out within a couple of per cent of each other.

Why does the exact number pay nine times and not ten?

+

Because ten times would be a fair price for a one-in-ten chance. The gap between nine and ten is the operator's share on that market.

Is betting on two colours at once safer?

+

It narrows the range of outcomes and pays the operator's share on both stakes. Safer in the sense of quieter, more expensive in expectation.

What is the bonus colour worth?

+

Typically one or two digits at around 4.5x, which lands in roughly the same place as the other markets once coverage is accounted for.

Does coverage change between apps?

+

The digit-to-colour mapping is nearly standard across this category, and payouts vary by a percentage point or two rather than meaningfully.
