Team Shares

Individual units of ownership in a sports team stock that can be bought and sold on the market.

Definition

Team shares are the basic unit of trading in a sports stock market. Each share represents a fractional stake in a team's championship outcome. Shares have a price that fluctuates based on the team's championship probability. You can buy multiple shares of the same team, and each share is worth $100 if that team wins their championship. Shares can be bought and sold freely at any time at the current market price.

How This Works on Sporty Stocks

On Sporty Stocks, you can buy and sell shares of any of the 94 available teams. There is no minimum or maximum number of shares you must buy. Each share of a championship-winning team pays out $100 in play money. Your portfolio tracks all the shares you own across different teams.

Example

You buy 50 shares of the Philadelphia Eagles at $12.00 each, spending $600. Each share will pay $100 if the Eagles win the Super Bowl. If they do win, your 50 shares pay out $5,000 - a profit of $4,400 on your $600 investment.
