Football INDEX is the world’s first football stock market where you can buy and sell shares in footballers with real money. Football INDEX offers fans a chance to bet on the future success of football players compared to the short-lived outcome of betting on football results.
There are different ways to make money on Football INDEX. Traders can buy shares associated with footballers they think will increase in value. This can occur through improved performance over a prolonged period or by media speculation about a potential transfer, for example. In this instance, the aim is to buy low and sell high.
Traders will also buy shares with a view to earning dividends. The top ranking footballers in the ‘media ranking’ and ‘match day rankings’ will be eligible for payment of a dividend. In terms of the ‘match day rankings’ table, not every match will be included. It’s dependent on the calibre of matches and amount scheduled on any day of trading.
