How it works
How OurBets turns group chat claims into private prediction markets.
OurBets is a private prediction market app for friend groups. Friends create yes/no markets, take sides with virtual currency, watch odds move, and resolve the result when the real-world outcome is known.
The product is built for group chat accountability, jokes, goals, and bragging rights. It is not a sportsbook, not a public exchange, and not designed for real-money gambling.

Private friend groups
OurBets groups are invite-only, so markets are made for the friends, roommates, clubs, or group chats that created them.
Virtual currency
Bets use virtual currency or social stakes. OurBets is not a sportsbook and is not designed for real-money gambling.
Odds and settlement
Bets move the displayed odds. When the outcome is known, the market resolves and the leaderboard updates.
Create a private group
Start an invite-only OurBets group for your friends, team, roommates, club, or group chat.
Post a yes/no market
Turn a claim into a question with a clear outcome, such as whether someone will finish a goal before a deadline.
Let everyone take a side
Friends bet with virtual currency. Each bet changes the odds, so the market reflects what the group believes.
Resolve the outcome
When the event happens, resolve the market. Winners collect virtual currency and the leaderboard updates.
Example OurBets market
If a friend says they will run a half marathon by August, the group can create a market: “Will Alex run a half marathon by August 31?” Friends bet Yes or No with virtual currency, the market odds update, and the result is resolved after the deadline.
How OurBets is different from public prediction markets
Public prediction markets are usually built around broad events, public trading, and outside audiences. OurBets applies the same prediction-market idea to private friend groups, where the questions come from the group chat and the stakes are virtual currency, accountability, and status inside the group.
Common questions
What is OurBets?
OurBets is a private prediction market app for friend groups. Friends create yes/no markets about group chat claims, bet with virtual currency, watch odds move, and settle the outcome on a leaderboard.
What can I make a market about on OurBets?
OurBets markets work best for clear friend group claims with a yes/no answer, like whether someone will hit a goal, win a game, show up on time, or follow through on something they said.
Do OurBets odds use real money?
No. OurBets odds are driven by virtual currency bets inside private groups. The point is social accountability, competition, and bragging rights, not real-money gambling.
Are OurBets groups private?
Yes. OurBets groups are invite-based, and markets are meant for the people inside that group rather than a public trading marketplace.
Why do odds move on OurBets?
Odds move when people bet. If more virtual currency backs Yes, the Yes percentage rises. If more backs No, the No percentage rises.
