In the bottom part of the prediction editor you will see section Tycoon Bet. You enter the amount of Tycoon €, which you wish to multiply. Quotas for each type of bet are always displayed so you can see what kind of profit you can expect in case your bet is correct.

Quotas are determined periodically therefore it is possible for other user to bet on different quota then you did.
If you guessed the the result outcome your input will multiply based on the number of points in the prediction and a bunch of other criteria unknown to you. If you miss the result outcome you have wasted all the input.
Ghetto Activities
Ghetto is some sort of Sport Cloud community where soul mates from all around the globe are gathering. Here you can get information like:
- News
- Rumors
- Pictures
- Videos
- Blogs
- Discussions
- Fans
Any kind of activity in the Ghetto will earn you the money you so much need. Again it is not necessary that you will be awarded with money but it is worth a shot. You can get paid for:
- Publishing, commenting and ratting news
- Publishing, commenting and ratting rumors
- Publishing, commenting and ratting pictures
- Publishing, commenting and ratting videos
- Publishing your own blog, commenting and ratting other blogs
- Start and participate is discussions
If you become fan of a figure you do not get paid. However fans do play important role in the Tycoon. If you become a fan of any figure (which is available on the stock market), its value will rise. The stock loses its value if you stop supporting it. When a figure gets new fan, its stock value rises therefore it is better to buy figure’s stock and then become a fan.
Making Friendships
Gaining a friend has a mutual benefit. Both persons will definitely be paid for it. If you break up a friendship you harm yourself and the ex-friend for the double amount you received when you made the friendship. Therefore you need lots of friend because they mean lots of dough.
Profit
In case you have stocks of a figure and the figure is making profit, you will also be rewarded with the part of the profit. Therefore it is very important to know which stocks to buy. If you do not buy you only have dead capital in your hands. Many different pointers are available which will suggest you if and when to buy or sell a stock.
Other
From time to time you will be positively surprised because money will come to your account from completely surprised reasons and unpredicted sources. Reasons and source will remain a secret for the time being.
Expenses
Several situations may occur when you will lose some of your money if you make wrong decisions. Expenses are mostly relevant to
- Betting on predictions (if you lose)
- Buying shares or if shares lose their value
- Taxes, which SC Tycoon collects from time to time.
- All sorts of unexpected dirty jobs
- Etc.
It is possible for someone to be offered some sort of information, by another player, in return for certain amount of money. Some inside information or cheap shares can be offered. If you decide to take the offer you pay for it but do not exaggregate because you can get caught and then you lose everything and you must start from the beginning.
Stock
When you have the money you can visit the stock. You will see what shares are available and all can be yours as long as you have the money. Figures, whose shares you can buy, are:
- Competitions
- Teams
- Players
- Coaches and the rest of the staff
- Referees
- Grounds
So these are the figures. It is important to know that all of the figures in Sport Cloud are not available on stock market. But new are arriving every day. Every figure has a dedicated number of shares. Each share has its price. All figures are in business one way or another. If the shares are available you can buy them. The rule “First comes first served” is applied. So do not hesitate buying them because someone might snatch them right in front of you. Shares are yours when you see them on your account and not when you are still buying.
You can also sell your shares but only if they are not a part of the tycoon overtake.
Shares Movement
Shares are gaining and losing value daily. Each player must figure out what the value of a share will be in the future in order to make good deals. The price of the share can be influenced by:
- Participating in the figure’s Ghetto.
- Becoming fan of the figure.
Share prices in the past can be seen in stock market for individual figure.
Profit
Profit is the thing you are interested in the most. Figures, whose shares you own, must make profit otherwise it is better to sell them. By participating in the Ghetto you can influence the profit.
Loss
If the figures bring loss to you, it will come out of your account for the percentage of the stocks you own. Therefore be careful with unperceptive figures.
Tycoons
And the mission of the game?
When you are involved for long enough and when you think you know it all, then the game begins! Your objective is to obtain majority share of a figure. This mean more than 50% of all of the figure's shares.
At this time the rules of the game change. You become a Tycoon and you completely manipulate with the figure. This mean that complete profit comes to you, even the profit from other players. Besides that other players cannot sell their stocks. So basically you are THE MAN. Then the money will really come pouring down.
And what can the rest of the players do?
Basically they have only one possibility; they must knock you out. First condition is that no stocks for the figure are available on stock market. Then the players (with at least one figure’s stock) have the possibility to recapitalize the figure. And they will do this because if not they have dead capital in their hands. They can recapitalize for so much shares you own. Share’s value will drastically rise at that time, which means that your stocks are worth even more. But do know that recapitalization cannot be made by a tycoon but only the players which lose value because of the Tycoon.
So Tycoon, after the recapitalization you are no longer the majority share owner. In order to become one you will have to buy them from small shareholders.
The only thing you have to be careful is that you do not end up on the wrong end of the chain and then you will have to recapitalize shares.
