How Bets Work

Understanding Crypto Betting

In BeeNBet's crypto betting platform, you're placing bets on crypto-related events and outcomes. Each betting market has clear win/lose conditions based on real-world events.

Types of Bets

Win Bets

  • What they represent: You believe the event will happen
  • When you win: If the event occurs as predicted
  • Payout: You receive your crypto winnings

Lose Bets

  • What they represent: You believe the event will not happen
  • When you win: If the event does not occur
  • Payout: You receive your crypto winnings

Betting Mechanics

Odds Pricing

  • Dynamic Odds: Odds fluctuate based on market demand
  • Market Forces: More demand for one outcome changes the odds
  • Fair Pricing: Odds reflect the true probability of events
  • Transparent: All odds are publicly visible

Position Locking

Once you place a bet, your position is locked until market resolution:

  • No Early Withdrawal: You cannot cancel bets before the event
  • Commitment Required: This prevents manipulation and ensures fair play
  • Equal Treatment: All participants face the same constraints

Example: Crypto Market

Let's say there's a market: "Will BTC reach $100,000 by 2024-12-31?"

Scenario 1: You Buy Yes Shares

  • Your Position: You believe BTC will hit $100,000
  • If BTC reaches $100,000: You win and receive your full payout
  • If BTC stays below $100,000: You lose your initial investment

Scenario 2: You Buy No Shares

  • Your Position: You believe BTC won't reach $100,000
  • If BTC stays below $100,000: You win and receive your full payout
  • If BTC reaches $100,000: You lose your initial investment

Risk Management

Understanding Risk

  • All-or-Nothing: You either win everything or lose everything
  • No Partial Payouts: Unlike traditional betting, there are no partial wins
  • Market Volatility: Share prices can fluctuate significantly

Risk Mitigation Strategies

  • Diversification: Spread your bets across multiple markets
