Every future event has a price.

Somewhere, people are betting real money on every big question — elections, wars, rate cuts, football. The current price of “YES” is called the line, and it works like a live opinion poll where lying costs money. That’s what you see on the board: 19% means the crowd gives it a 19-in-100 chance.

2

The machine forms its own opinion.

Our machine never copies the crowd. For world events it reasons from fresh headlines, pulled every few minutes. For World Cup football it runs its own formula on two numbers: what each squad is worth on the transfer market, and how many chances its defence gives away. Sometimes it agrees with the crowd. Sometimes it loudly doesn’t — that gap is called an edge.

3

You make the call — before seeing the machine’s answer.

Pick YES or NO on any line, stake some Warbucks (our play money — every account starts with 1,000 free), and lock it in. No real money, ever. We take no bets — think of it as a gym for your judgement.

4

Reality answers. You get paid — fast.

When the event actually happens, the market officially resolves YES or NO. Our settler checks every market holding live Warbucks every minute — win, and the payout hits your balance minutes after the whistle, at fair odds: the rarer your call, the bigger the win.

5

Everyone gets graded. Nothing gets deleted.

Every call — yours, the machine’s, the crowd’s — is scored when reality lands, and the record is public and permanent. The machine’s World Cup formula is currently 15 of 18 on games decided in play, and its misses (like Brazil against Norway) stay on the board. Anyone can claim to be a genius. Here, you have to prove it.

Learn the language, earn a bankroll.

Two free card schools teach you everything this page just skimmed: Warconomics School (the betting world — finish it for +500 Warbucks) and Ballconomics (football money — +250). Plus +25 a day just for showing up. Most Warbucks tops the leaderboard.

The honest fine print: prices come from real public prediction exchanges; news from public feeds; squad values from the transfer market’s public price tags. Warbucks are play money — they can’t be bought, sold, or cashed out, and nothing here is betting or financial advice. What we publish is our machine’s opinions and its graded record — including the embarrassing parts. Exhibit A: the founder’s own real-money record — won 70% of his bets, lost $432.
