<mark style="color:orange;">**Size:**</mark>

For each token you select (e.g., $SOL), you have 4 pre-selected sizes. &#x20;

You can also use a slider or the input field to customise your stake as desired.<br>

Note: Price prediction gaming can be addictive and should only be used for entertainment. Never use funds you cannot afford to lose, as this skill-based game carries the risk of multiple consecutive losses. To ensure a fun and safe experience, we’ve set a reasonable limit on the maximum prediction size. &#x20;
