01

Yes / No Markets

Simple binary market built for high turnover and fast settlement — the backbone of the live offering, launch-ready with no historical data.

RUNOUT™ — Yes/No
Will the player complete the full 7-ball pattern without a miss? Settles on miss or final pot.
02

Player Session Markets

Each session is one hour and 15 pattern attempts. Known layout difficulty plus player completion history keeps variance low — ideal pre-session products.

Total Patterns Completed — O/U 7.5
Patterns completed successfully within the 1-hour session.
Session Runout Count
Total clean runouts across all 15 pattern attempts.
Session Make %
Aggregate pot success rate across all shots — micro markets on 105 balls per session.
03

Pre-Frame “Hard Ball” Market

Before each pattern begins, the system identifies the ball the player is statistically most likely to miss — a RUNOUT™-exclusive market made possible by deterministic pattern design.

Hard Ball Identification
System-generated ball with the highest miss probability, from historical miss rate, positional difficulty, angle/distance and player tendencies.
Hard Ball — Yes/No
Will the player miss the identified Hard Ball when attempted?
04

Live Micro-Event Markets (Freeze Markets)

The signature RUNOUT™ innovation: a real-time, event-triggered micro-market created whenever a player is forced into a high-difficulty situation. Comparable to ball-by-ball cricket, with deterministic data integrity behind every price.

Triggers
Out of position · forced jump shot · snooker/kick shot · bank shot · difficulty spike above threshold.
Protocol
Event detected → 45s freeze → market generated within 15s → 30s betting window → resume. The player's 3-minute pattern timer is unaffected.
Next Shot Difficulty — O/U
Difficulty index of the upcoming forced shot, scored on angle, distance and obstruction.
Position Gain — Yes/No
Will the cue-ball position improve relative to the next scheduled ball after the forced shot?
05

Performance-Based Markets

Data-driven markets built on the gap between modelled expectations and live outcomes.

Expected Score — O/U
Model-projected score for the pattern versus actual final score.
Difficulty Index — O/U
Average difficulty rating across all shots taken in the pattern.
06

Daily & Weekly Leaderboards

Generated continuously from all global sessions — a persistent layer of social competition that drives repeat engagement and wagering volume.

Daily %
Completion percentage, runout percentage and difficulty-adjusted performance.
Weekly %
Aggregated performance across all sessions in the week.
Country
Top players from each country, ranked by performance metrics.
Global

07

Social Play & Community Engagement

Session-based play built for social wagering as much as solo play — extending time-on-platform and creating peer-to-peer acquisition loops.

Friend & Squad Challenges
Head-to-head invites, private squad leagues, and country-vs-country / squad-vs-squad aggregate markets.
Co-Viewing & Live Rooms
Watch parties, shared betting rooms and live in-stream reactions tied to freeze-market moments.
Sharing & Virality
Auto-generated highlight clips, leaderboard flex cards and refer-a-friend bonuses.
Community Layer
Real-time activity feed, pool-hall integration and shareable social achievements.
08

The Next Era

The next era of cue sport starts here

Seven balls. One visit. Pure nerve. The 3-ball to 4-ball transition is the kind of shot that defines careers — a swerved cue ball, up and down the rail then threading traffic to land perfectly on the next pot. This is exactly the drama RUNOUT™ is built to deliver, every few minutes.

Head to Head

“Brilliant new game. I couldn't wait for the next pattern to be set up.”
