Once you're ready to place a bet, decide if you are "Betting in Favor" or want to "Bet against" that event from occuring. Then, simply add the amount of Standard Dollars you would like to wager in the "How Much" field. The amount of Standard Dollars you wager equates to your confidence level. But be careful, you'll likely want a diverse portfolio of predictions. Betting all of your money on one prediction is not only risky, it will prevent you from placing any more bets!
