Step-by-Step Guide

  1. 1

    A parody stock chart is displayed with real-time candlesticks.

  2. 2

    Set your bet amount and choose CALL (price goes up) or PUT (price goes down).

  3. 3

    A new candlestick forms. If it closes in your predicted direction, you win.

  4. 4

    Payout for correct prediction: bet × 1.92x.

  5. 5

    The chart is cosmetic — each candlestick direction is an independent 50/50 provably fair outcome.

Provably Fair System

The candlestick direction is determined by a single bit from HMAC-SHA256(server_seed, client_seed:nonce). Bit 0 = bearish (down), bit 1 = bullish (up). The candlestick's visual shape (open, high, low, close) is decorative — only the direction matters for the bet.
