Teams Down the Side, Finishing Places Across the Top
A list to the left names the competitions that carry season-long prices, with a counter beside them. Clicking one swaps the table without leaving the page, and a competition can also be opened at an address of its own. A control above the list folds it away when the table needs the width.
The table reads in two directions. Teams run down the left, one to a row, each with its badge beside the name. Market columns run across the top, and a column asks where a team finishes once the season is over.
Most of those columns come in pairs. A Yes price backs the team to end up inside the band the column names and a No price backs it not to, so one column serves both sides of the argument. The Winner column is the exception and carries a single price.
The bands are not the same from one competition to the next. One board may reach no further than the top three and the bottom two, another may run from the top two through the top ten and on to the last place. Both ends are covered, so a season can be backed on the title race or on the drop.
A dash instead of a number means that side of that market is not on offer for that team, and the rest of the row still stands. Nothing here settles on the strength of one meeting: a price holds until the competition has played itself out, and the table is read the same way in the opening weeks and in the closing ones.
The Sports menu carries two neighbours to this board. One narrows the whole platform to a single country, and the other collects season-long markets across the sports rather than the tournaments gathered here. Fixtures that already have a kick-off time belong to the pre-match board instead.
