1. Connect and Sign Your Wallet:

* Open the Coinraces game interface - <https://app.coinraces.io/>
* Look for the "Connect" button in the top right header.
* Choose your preferred EVM-compatible wallet (e.g., MetaMask, CoinBase Wallet) from the options presented.
* Approve the connection request in your wallet's pop-up window. This verifies and connects you to the game.

  * Single Horses: Predict on the outcome of one specific horse.
  * 4 Horse Stable: Predict on the performance of a group of four horses.

* You have the flexibility to place predictions on multiple horses or stables, one by one - as the game is smart contract governed, you can not place two predictions simultaneously as your wallet will reject one of the transactions. Please wait until each prediction (transaction) is processed before submitting a new one, you have time to submit multiple predictions in a single game

4. Set Your Prediction Amount:

* Once you've chosen your horse(s), locate the input field designated for the prediction amount.
* Enter the desired amount of ETH you wish to predict (minimum stake per prediction is 0.0001 ETH)
