About this project, and how the desk was made
This desk is one of a series, and the series has a method. This page states it: what the samples are, how the figures are derived, what every page carries, and why a desk about how a price is set names no operator at all.

the market priceThe price shown beside a selection before an account is considered. On the samples it is 1.90 on every screen, and it is the price the receipt is measured against.
the quoteThe price your own account is offered. Across 120 accounts on one selection it ran from 1.88 to 2.00, a spread of 6.4%, and 42 of the 120 accounts were offered the market price exactly.
the receiptThe price at the moment you accept governs the bet. Of 100 disputed quotes the receipt price governed 100 and the headline price governed none of them.
Direct answer
Every figure on this desk derives from ten invented samples, defined on the overview and used identically across all eighteen pages. Each page carries a direct answer, a worked example whose arithmetic can be re-derived, a table, and a short checklist. No real operator, product, market or account is described anywhere on the site.
The five steps of the method
- Define the samples first. Ten sets of counts, bands, tiers and durations are fixed on the overview before any page is written, so no figure can be adjusted to suit a sentence.
- Derive every figure from them. Each number on each page is a multiplication, a division or a share of the samples, and the arithmetic is printed beside it rather than asserted.
- Answer first. Every page opens with a direct answer of forty to sixty words, then develops it, so the answer survives being quoted alone.
- Show the check, not only the claim. Each page ends with a short checklist, because a reader who can test a claim does not have to believe it.
- Publish the method. This page, the overview and the numbers page carry the whole basis of the desk, so a reader can re-derive any figure without trusting the site.
The ten samples
Eight samples are defined and used across the desk, and two further ones are defined on the pages that need them. All ten are invented, and the derivation is one step in every case.
| Sample | Subject | Defined on | Key figure |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | the spread across 120 quotes | the overview | 6.4% |
| B | the four mechanisms | the overview | 120 quotes |
| C | the five stake bands | the overview | 1.86-1.98 |
| D | the five account tiers | the overview | 1.90-1.98 |
| E | the capped price and its cap | the overview | 3.00 flat |
| F | the chosen price and its ceiling | the overview | 170 / 95 / 42 |
| G | the month's arithmetic | the overview | 70.50 |
| H | the record and the paperwork | the overview | 100 of 100 |
| I | availability across 200 attempts | the availability page | 148 / 34 / 18 |
| J | the reader's four-number check | the check page | 1.5 minutes |
| ten samples | one derivation each | two pages | no observed data |
the method, in one example
the claim: the spread on one selection is 6.4% in price terms
sample A gives the levels: 1.88 and 2.00 are the two ends
2.00 / 1.88 = 1.0638, so the spread is 6.4%
the claim: that is 3.00 on a 25.00 stake
the stake is a fixed choice of the sample: 25.00
25.00 x 1.88 = 47.00 and 25.00 x 2.00 = 50.00 -> 3.00
the claim: the mean quote is 1.9235
deviations by level: 8 x -0.02 + 34 x +0.02 + 26 x +0.05 + 10 x +0.10 = +2.82
1.90 + 2.82 / 120 = 1.90 + 0.0235 = 1.9235
every figure on the desk is one of these three moves: a share, a multiplication
or a mean, applied to a sample that was fixed before the page was written.
The eight components every page carries
a direct answer - forty to sixty words, before any preamble, so the page is quotable on its own.
a worked example - the arithmetic printed, so the figure can be re-derived rather than believed.
a table - The samples in rows, because a distribution is easier to read than a list.
a checklist - five short tests, written to be used on a live account rather than admired.
a read-next block - four links, each to the page that answers the next question rather than a footer of them.
the disclosure band - the funding position of the site, stated on every page above the copy.
the terms strip - the three words the desk rests on, defined identically on every page.
the risk notice - included in the footer of every page, with the controls that actually bind an account.
Check the method on any figure on this desk
- Find the sample the figure comes from, on the overview or on the page that defines it.
- Re-derive it with the multiplication printed beside it.
- Check that the same sample produces the same figure on every page that uses it.
- Check that no page introduces a number the samples do not contain.
- Check that the figure is labelled illustrative wherever it appears.
