On STX, players can buy or sell contracts on a market. All of our markets are binary options meaning the outcome of the market will always result in a **YES** or **NO**.  If a market results as **YES** the contracts settle worth **\$1**, if the market results as **NO** the contracts settle worth **\$0.** Thus, if you believe the answer will be **YES**, you should **BUY** contracts. If you think it will be **NO**, you should **SELL** contracts. Most markets will be listed where buying contracts equates to betting on the Home Team (or OVER for totals) and selling contracts equates to betting on the Away Team (or UNDER for totals).
