Market & Engagement Catalogue
A complete wagering and engagement ecosystem
RunOut is the first cue sport engineered specifically for wagering. Every pattern is deterministic, every shot is structured data — creating an operator-ready catalogue of live markets, freeze markets, leaderboards, social play and player engagement.
Product Category
Skill-based cue sport, live and pre-match wagering
Data Source
Real-time vision system + deterministic pattern engine
Market Types
Pre-match, live, and micro-event (freeze) markets
Integrity
Fully deterministic, no RNG
01
Yes / No Markets
Simple binary market built for high turnover and fast settlement — the backbone of the live offering, launch-ready with no historical data.
Runout — RUNOUT / MISS
Will the player complete the full 8-ball pattern without a miss? Settles on miss or final pot.
02
Player Session Markets
Each session is one hour and 15 pattern attempts. Known layout difficulty plus player completion history keeps variance low — ideal pre-session products.
Total Patterns Completed — O/U 7.5
Patterns completed successfully within the 1-hour session.
Session Runout Count
Total clean runouts across all 15 pattern attempts.
Session Make %
Aggregate pot success rate across all shots — micro markets on 105 balls per session.
03
Pre-Frame “Hard Ball” Market
Before each pattern begins, the system identifies the ball the player is statistically most likely to miss — a RunOut-exclusive market made possible by deterministic pattern design.
Hard Ball Identification
System-generated ball with the highest miss probability, from historical miss rate, positional difficulty, angle/distance and player tendencies.
Hard Ball — RUNOUT / MISS
Will the player miss the identified Hard Ball when attempted?
04
Live Micro-Event Markets (Freeze Markets)
The signature RunOut innovation: a real-time, event-triggered micro-market created whenever a player is forced into a high-difficulty situation. Comparable to ball-by-ball cricket, with deterministic data integrity behind every price.
Triggers
Out of position · forced jump shot · snooker/kick shot · bank shot · difficulty spike above threshold.
Protocol
Event detected → 45s freeze → market generated within 15s → 30s betting window → resume. The player's 3-minute pattern timer is unaffected.
Next Shot Difficulty — O/U
Difficulty index of the upcoming forced shot, scored on angle, distance and obstruction.
Position Gain — RUNOUT / MISS
Will the cue-ball position improve relative to the next scheduled ball after the forced shot?
05
Performance-Based Markets
Data-driven markets built on the gap between modelled expectations and live outcomes.
Expected Score — O/U
Model-projected score for the pattern versus actual final score.
Difficulty Index — O/U
Average difficulty rating across all shots taken in the pattern.
06
Daily & Weekly Leaderboards
Generated continuously from all global sessions — a persistent layer of social competition that drives repeat engagement and wagering volume.
Daily %
Completion percentage, runout percentage and difficulty-adjusted performance.
Weekly %
Aggregated performance across all sessions in the week.
Country
Top players from each country, ranked by performance metrics.
Global
Long-term ranking across all players and sessions.
07
Social Play & Community Engagement
Session-based play built for social wagering as much as solo play — extending time-on-platform and creating peer-to-peer acquisition loops.
Friend & Squad Challenges
Head-to-head invites, private squad leagues, and country-vs-country / squad-vs-squad aggregate markets.
Co-Viewing & Live Rooms
Watch parties, shared betting rooms and live in-stream reactions tied to freeze-market moments.
Sharing & Virality
Auto-generated highlight clips, leaderboard flex cards and refer-a-friend bonuses.
Community Layer
Real-time activity feed, pool-hall integration and shareable social achievements.

The Next Era
The next era of cue sport starts here
Eight balls. One visit. Pure nerve. The 3-ball to 4-ball transition is the kind of shot that defines careers — a swerved cue ball, up and down the rail then threading traffic to land perfectly on the next pot. This is exactly the drama RUNOUT is built to deliver, every few minutes.
Pot 1 through 8 in order — the golden 8 completes the RUNOUT
“RUNOUT is what pool was waiting for. Finally, a game where the player is just against the table. This game can reach every single person on this planet at any time — and you don't even have to go out of the house.”
“Brilliant new game. I couldn't wait for the next pattern to be set up.”
