If a bet is correct, where does the money come from? Your reserve? Do you place any orders out to market?

The money comes from our reserves.

We don't place bets into the market - that would be "cheating" or whatever you would call it.
However, players can do so as we have no way to monitor it so we just accept this eventuality and go with it.

Why you posted it to "Speculation"? Did you read rules?

From the rules :

"services related to speculation may be discussed here."

So I figured this was fine.
