How calls work
Tap a team before the game starts, pick a stake in denarii (Ludus play money) and lock it in. If your team wins you collect your stake times the number on its button; a tie or a postponed game gives your stake back. The numbers are our own line from both teams' records this season, with a small edge for the home team. Your purse and record stay in this browser: no account, nothing to buy, nothing to cash out.
