Azuro is an infrastructure/liquidity layer for on-chain betting. It utilizes a new Liquidity Pool design, the Liquidity Tree, which creates and maintains market liquidity.
An automated market maker is a type of decentralized exchange that uses algorithms to determine the price of assets based on supply and demand. Azuro utilises AMM mechanic inside its betting engine to adjust odds and provide users with correct values.
At its core, sports betting is putting money behind an outcome of your choice and getting paid if that outcome is achieved.
Combo bet is a type of bet where a user can combine outcomes from different Conditions and place them as a single bet. This bet wins if each of the selected outcomes in the set wins, with the payout coefficient being the product of the selected Odds taking into account the applied Margin.
A collective term for contracts that encompass the logic of creating Conditions, accepting bets, computing payouts for bets, and calculating Affiliate rewards.
Bettors can access the markets via websites, apps or widgets (known as "Frontends") that connect to Azuro to deliver betting services to end users.
Each Market presented on a Pool is called a Condition.
ERC20 tokens are fungible tokens on Ethereum. Azuro supports all standard ERC20 implementations.

Digital assets that are stored in an Azuro pool contract, and are able to be traded against by traders.
Someone who deposits ERC20 tokens into a given liquidity pool. Liquidity providers take on price risk and are compensated with betting margin.
The margin (also referred to as "spread" or "vig/vigorish") is the difference between the probability of a betting outcome happening and the odds that bettors can place bets with (for this outcome). In traditional online betting, it is also referred to as the "bookmakers advantage" or "house edge".
On Azuro protocol, margin is one of the immutable properties of a Condition, set at the time of its creation.
