This is educational content for adults only. It explains how an uplifted price is quoted, capped, reverted and settled, using invented samples. It gives no financial, legal or tax advice, names no operator, prices no offer, and recommends nothing.
What this desk claims, and what it does not
It claims to describe a mechanism and to show its arithmetic. It does not claim that any figure reflects a real offer, that any explanation matches the terms of any particular operator, or that the mechanism works the same way in every jurisdiction.
Boost terms, caps, qualifying markets, revert conditions and settlement rules differ by operator, by market and by jurisdiction. Where any of this desk conflicts with the terms of an offer, the terms of the offer govern.
Funding
One sponsored partner link funds the site. It is disclosed above the copy on every page and marked rel="sponsored noopener"; opening it may result in a payment to this site at no extra cost to the reader. No operator is named, ranked or recommended, and no offer is priced anywhere on the desk.
Risk and support
Gambling involves risk, and a better price on a selection is still a price on a selection that can lose. Most boosted selections are priced above even money precisely because they are unlikely to win, and on the samples the uplift paid on 45.2% of settled offers.
- Never stake money you cannot afford to lose.
- Never chase a loss, and never raise a stake to recover one.
- Set a deposit limit and a loss limit before you play, not after.
- Use the session timer and the reality check so that time is measured rather than felt.
- Use a time-out or self-exclusion if play stops being a pastime. These are set inside an account rather than on a page about them.
- Free and confidential support is available in most countries for players and for the people around them; national gambling helplines and gambling-support organisations are the fastest route to it.
