How it works
How OurBets turns group chat claims into prediction markets.
OurBets is built for private friend groups. Create a market, let friends take sides with virtual currency, watch the odds move, and resolve the result when the real-world outcome is known.
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.
Common questions
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.
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.
