Running a prediction market for your audience means asking a question about something your community cares about, letting everyone make their call with free points, and settling it when the answer is known. It turns a one-way post into a shared moment: people pick a side, watch the odds move and come back for the result. On Vatic it's free for you and for them.
Here's how to do it well.
1. Write a question people can't resist
The best questions are ones your audience already argues about. A good question is:
- Clear: anyone should know exactly what counts as Yes. "Will the striker score?" needs "in Saturday's match, including extra time?"
- Checkable: there must be a public source for the answer, such as the official result, a league table or a price feed.
- Timed: set a closing time before the answer is known.
- Close: a 50/50 question gets more people involved than a certainty.
Use Yes or No for simple questions and multiple choice for "who wins", "which round" or "which team finishes top".
2. Set it up
Create the market from your page with New market. You choose the question, the type, the closing time and the category, and you can add a cover picture. Every creator gets 7 markets a month for free, plus bonus markets from daily streaks and challenges. If you want your market to join a bigger moment, add it to an event hub, such as a season or a fight card, so everyone following that event can find it.
You can't make a call on your own market. That keeps things fair for your audience.
3. Share it where your audience already is
Your market is most alive where your community spends time:
- On stream: add the live overlay to OBS so viewers see the odds move as they call it. See how to add live prediction odds to your stream.
- On your page and in your bio: your creator page lists all your markets, and a one-page link-in-bio version works for Instagram, TikTok and YouTube.
- On your website: copy the embed code and the market sits on your site with live odds.
- In posts and stories: every market has a share card with the odds and a QR code, including a story format.
4. Resolve it fairly and quickly
When the answer is known, resolve the market and add the source: a link or a short note. Players are paid straight away. A few habits keep trust high:
- Resolve as soon as the result is official.
- Always link the source.
- If the question turned out unclear, cancel the market, which gives everyone their Vpoints back, rather than picking an answer people will dispute.
Every market keeps a public change log, and players can report a result they think is wrong.
5. Keep them coming back
- Run a regular slot: a weekly "call it" market before the big match or the big fight.
- Celebrate the winners: winners get a "called it" card to share.
- Start a private league for your core community, with its own leaderboard and chat. See how to start a prediction league.
- Check your stats: creator stats (beta) show players, predictions, newcomers you brought and who comes back.
