Understanding Balance Movements on 4Cx

Unlike traditional social sportsbooks sportsbooks, 4Cx operates as a peer-to-peer prediction platform, meaning your coins and cash balance updates more dynamically. Here are the key points to understand:

1. Balance vs. Settled Balance: What’s the Difference?

• Balance: This is the portion of your funds that can still be used for new predictions. It dynamically adjusts based on your existing open predictions and offers, accounting for the worst-case outcome.

  • If you take Raptors -120 risking 12 and their opponent +130 risking, you will not lose any balance as you can't net lose.

• Settled Balance: This is your total funds on the platform. It does not change when you place a prediction or make an offer. It only updates after the game concludes.

2. Balance is Dynamically Calculated

Your balance is adjusted in real time, considering the worst-case scenario for each game. This applies specifically to prematch events, as live and prematch predictions are currently treated separately.

3. How Worst-Case Scenarios Affect Available Balance

For example, let’s say you predict:

• Chiefs Moneyline at -150 with 150 to win 100

• Dolphins +3 at -110 with 110 to win 100

Your balance would only decrease by 50 because the worst-case scenario—a Dolphins win—would result in that exact loss.

4. Making Offers Doesn’t Reduce Your Balance

Your balance is not affected when you create an offer. For example:

• If you have a 100 available balance, you can place multiple 100 offers.

• Once one offer is fully accepted, all others are automatically withdrawn.

• If an offer is partially accepted (e.g., 50), your remaining offers are adjusted accordingly.

This system ensures flexibility while protecting your funds based on real risk exposure.

Important: This functionality is not yet live for future markets. This means you cannot bet all golfers NO and have balance returned when filed.
