THE BOARD

42 HORSES, NUMBERED 01 TO 42 · THREE RULES, NOTHING ELSE

01 THE ODDS

Nobody sets a price. The odds of a horse are a quotient of two public numbers, recomputed at every ticket for all 42 at once. Backing a horse lowers its own odds: there is no way to stake without diluting yourself.

odds(i) = pot / stakes on i

02 THE WINNER

The winner is the horse whose share of the pot stayed the lowest on average over the whole race. No oracle, no outside result, no feed. The board settles itself, and a last minute rush changes almost nothing in a long average.

winner = min(avg share of 42)

03 THE DISTANCE

A race is 4,200 swaps at level 1. Not minutes, not blocks. Every trade on the pool moves the field one length and feeds the pot. A quiet market stretches the race, a nervous one shortens it. One swap is one length: capital buys no speed.

NOT A PERFORMANCE, AN ABSENCE OF INTERMEDIARY: NO HALL, NO COUNTERS, NO LICENSE TO AMORTIZE. THE FIGURE SITS AT THE TOP OF THE BOARD AT ALL TIMES, NEVER IN THE FINE PRINT, AND ZERO OF THE FLOW GOES TO THE TEAM.

BACK ANYTHING

  • It is a bet, and the word is the right one. Money staked on an uncertain outcome, a takeout withheld, the rest redistributed.
  • 41 stakes out of 42 are lost every race. The losers' pot is the winners' payoff. That is the arithmetic, since 1867.
  • The board produces nothing. Everything that comes out came in, minus the takeout and minus what was burnt.
  • Withdrawing is forfeiting. A withdrawn ticket touches nothing, even if its horse goes on to win.
  • A past payoff is a result, never an expectation. 402.17 for 1 happened once; nothing says it happens again.
