Is all based on $100. If you buy for $91 you would win $9 if your team won. The winning side will be $100 after the game and the losing side will be $0.

yes buying and selling are exactly the same in a market of 2 .. where selling comes into play is when the market has more than 2 and then you can sell off a golfer etc..

yes you could buy Boston for 94 and if they won then you would get paid 100 = $6 profit. and it is the same thing as selling Chicago at 6. You would make 6 if Boston won here also.

Yes your account will go down by 52 for each contract you buy. If your side wins your account will go up by 100 for each contract you bought

well all you have to do is buy Minnesota. You will lose $5 probably but you will have 1 contract on each team. If you still want to bet Minnesota buy 2 contracts

I use the interactives to bail on my original bets. I am very good at picking losers before the game starts! Thank goodness for the interactives so I can get off my bet.

It is actually a great way to hedge bets. For example, you like a side but aren't totally confident. You bet $52.50 on that side and hedge it with a bet on the other side. If its evident early that you picked a loser, you let both bets ride the entire game and you lost a couple of bucks as opposed to losing your entire initial wager. If you the game stays pretty close but you like your initial bet, you sell your live share on the opposite side and you may not make the full $50 profit, but you still profit if your side wins...

I do agree with the previous poster who would like to see half shares. When your bankroll is on the low side it would be a nice option...
