How it works

01

Start a group

Invite your friends with a code. Everyone is seeded the same token balance, and there is no way to buy more.

02

Write a market

Yes/No, over/under a line, or multiple choice. Anyone can propose one, and betting stays open until it closes.

03

Settle it together

Someone calls what happened. If nobody challenges it in the window, it stands. If they do, the group votes by secret ballot.

Nobody sees who bet what.

While a market is open, every bet is sealed, including yours. All anyone sees is a running total. At close the pool splits into a percentage per side, and individual bets stay hidden until it resolves.

Markets can be about someone in your group, and that person cannot see it exists until it resolves. No favorite-picking, no tipping your hand.

Payouts

Nobody sets a line and nobody takes a cut. The losing side's stakes are split among the winners in proportion to what each put in, and your own stake comes back on top. That makes payouts parimutuel: the odds just reflect where your group put its money.

Seasons

A total that never resets stops being a game once someone is far enough ahead. Pick a length, and when it ends the standings are archived to a Hall of Fame and everyone is reseeded level. Every run gets its own champion.

FAQ

Is real money involved?

No. Tokens have no cash value and can never be bought, sold, or withdrawn.

Who decides what happened?

Your group. Someone proposes the outcome, and a challenge sends it to a secret ballot.

Can anyone see my group?

Groups are private and join by invite code. Nothing is public.

What can a market be about?

Anything the group can settle: the bar tab, the group trip, who is late, the game.
