Unlike traditional fantasy sites, ProphetShares does not use a scoring system that converts stats to fantasy points. Our scoring system is simple and is based on the famous investing strategy, "buy low, sell high".
When you correctly predict an Outcome for an Event, you will receive P$ 100 for each share of that Outcome you held when the Event closed. Incorrect Outcomes settle at P$ 0 per share. If you own 1,000 shares of the correct outcome in an Event, P$100,000 (1000 * 100) will be added to your Contest balance. If the average price you paid was $45 / share, your gain would be P$55,000 ((100 - 45) * 1000). For shares you own of an incorrect outcome, no adjustment would be made to your Contest balance as the cost of those shares was already deducted from your contest balance.
Contest winners (those who receive payouts) are determined by the ranked order of their ending Contest balance. At the end of the Contest, the player with the highest Contest balance (most P$) will be awarded 1st place; the player will the the second highest Contest balance will be awarded 2nd place; etc. See the Contest details for payout information as payouts may vary from one Contest to another.
