# Creating a Sports Prediction

Set your own odds, back them with liquidity, and let other players take the other side. Every bet they place and lose goes to you. Every bet they win comes from your pool. Pick a match, set your odds, lock liquidity. That's the core of it.

### Step 1. Find a match

Search by team or league name, or navigate manually: Sport → Country → League → Match. You can add up to 10 matches to a single prediction.

### Step 2. Set odds

Select markets and outcomes for each match. Set any odds manually from 1.01. Different outcomes can have different odds.

Available markets depend on the sport: Main, Time, Goals, Goal Method, Corners, Cards and others.

### Step 3. Set liquidity

Enter the total liquidity amount – this gets locked from your balance and covers all outcomes across all matches in the prediction. Minimum is $100, no upper limit.

Optionally enable express bets to let players combine your outcomes into parlays.

### Step 4. Publish

Once published, odds and liquidity are fixed. You can't add more liquidity or change odds after the fact – only withdraw the unmatched portion if needed.

### Express Bets

When you set liquidity, you can enable express bets with a toggle. This lets players combine outcomes from your prediction into a parlay, but only within your single liquidity pool.

Key point: a player can only build an express from outcomes inside one creator's liquidity. They can't mix your outcomes with another creator's. And only matches covered by that same liquidity pool are combinable.

If you leave the toggle off, your outcomes are single bets only.
