How PredictVS Works

PredictVS is a free sports prediction competition platform. No real money, no gambling — just points, leaderboards, and bragging rights. Here is how it works in 5 steps.

Want to host instead of join? Create a free prop sheet for any sport and it scores itself.

Browse the Lobby

Explore public contests across NHL, NBA, MLB, NFL, and MLS. Filter by sport, team, or contest type. Join any contest for free — or create your own and invite friends.

Join a Contest

Every contest has its own leaderboard and game schedule. Auto-generated contests exist for every team (weekly, season-long and playoffs), or create a private contest with an invite code for your friend group or office pool.

Make Your Predictions

Choose between two play styles. Fill out a Prop Sheet before the game — a full prediction form covering game winner, totals, spreads, and player props that you lock in at once. Or make Live Picks round-by-round as the game unfolds, with new questions dropping every period, quarter, or half.

Earn Points Based on Real Odds

Points are calculated using real-time betting odds from licensed sportsbooks. Picking a heavy favorite earns fewer points. Nailing an underdog pick earns a big payout. This rewards smart, strategic predictions over safe picks.

Climb the Leaderboards

Track your performance across contests, sports, and time periods. Your Elo rating (like chess) measures your prediction skill over time. See where you rank against everyone else and prove your sports knowledge.

What Makes PredictVS Different

Odds-Based Scoring

Points scale with real betting odds. Underdogs pay more, favorites pay less — just like a sportsbook.

Elo Skill Rating

A chess-style rating system that measures your true prediction skill over time, across all sports.

100% Free

No deposits, no credit card, no hidden fees. Free forever.

Multi-Sport Coverage

NHL, NBA, MLB, NFL, MLS — with more sports coming. One platform for all your prediction contests.

Host Your Own Prop Sheet

Create a contest for any sport, pick the questions (or write your own), share one link, and the box score grades every pick. Private by invite code or public in the Lobby.
