For every match, we will ask you to predict the winner of the match along with a bonus question. Predict accurately and win.
What is the bonus question?
We will ask you to predict a stat from the game, ex. Predict the total runs scored in the match?
(Prior to IPL 2022) How many points for correct predcition?
Each right prediction will get you 1 point. For every match we ask two questions, so you can score 2 points per match. No negative points.
(From IPL 2022) How many points for correct predcition?
Points = Total Votes for all options / Number of Correct Predictions.
We are introducing dynamic odds since 2022 season. This will reward high risk bets with more points and less risky bets with less points.
(From IPL 2023) Are there any negative poitns?
Yes! From IPL 2023, we introduced negative points as way to also introduce a loss to the points tally in case you lose.
(From ODI WC 2023) Can I vote again (Revote)?
Yes! From ODI WC 2023, we introduced revotes! After a certain interval after the initial votes are captured, you will be alerted with a message asking for any revotes, and these revotes will be captured shortly after. This now allows people who had voted earlier to change their votes, also people who didnt vote first time or missed voting to cast their votes.
Is revote scoring same as initial vote?
No! If you win via Revote, it gives you lesser points than if you had voted initially. The scenario if you revote and loose depends on if you had voted earlier. If you had voted the first time and had the winning option, but you switched to a loosing option the -ve penalty is higher. If you didnt vote the 1st time and are casting the vote first time via revote, you dont get the higher penalty and usual negative points scoring applies.
How are negative points calculated?
Same way as correct points are calculated, but in negative. Whatever points you could win are instead added as negative points to the tally.
How to predict?
A bot will ask you questions before every match, and will add possible answers as emojis. Just click on the emoji and your vote is logged.
Can you choose multiple answers?
Multiple votes wont count, you have to choose only one answer for every question.
How long do I have before voting closes?
Voting begins as soon as bot announces the question, which happens 75mins before a match starts. Voting ends as soon as the match starts. The bot will also post a message to indicate voting is closed.
Where can I see the leader board?
The top positions of the Leader board are announced every morning, however you can view the leader board in real time on https://iplpredictionpro.axelerant.com/. It gets updated as soon as a match is over.
