Prediction markets are booming, but they still have one big problem: form factor They aren’t built for how people actually argue, predict, and keep score together Bento turns prediction markets into playable, repeatable social loops with continuity + status Alpha opens Jan 19

RCB has never won the most IPL trophies but they've won the brand war. $290M brand value in 2026. Here's how every IPL franchise's brand value changed since 2008.

Prediction markets did $64B last year. 70% of users lost money. The formats are built for traders, not fans. We think sports deserves better. This is why we're building Bento.

Users have spoken - weekly format for tournaments is more exciting. Each experiment that we have run through Alpha over the last 2 months is now compounding into: Social layer for sports predictions. Tournaments ✅ Parlays (Next week) Fantasy ⏳ PvP clashes 🔜

Prediction markets are the fastest-growing primitive in the market. To cover it in more depth, we updated our ecosystem map to include 90 projects building in the space from regulated CeFi platforms to autonomous AI prediction agents. Updated map below 🧵

We gathered feedback on dopamine vs compounding for tournaments and trying two formats this IPL season: 1. Full-season tournament - enter with $25 > Make picks for each game and through playoff - few players eliminated at each stage > Highest chips holder wins 2. Weekly tournaments - enter with $10 > Every week's matches batched together > Highest chips holder at the end of the week wins Next up: Access associated markets - Polymarket, Bento UGCs right from the tournament view Links below - DM for mobile access

The emerging prediction markets product that will push the space further: - @Bentodotfun - wrap sports prediction into formats you love - tournaments, fantasy, parlays - @thetailgateapp - tail sharps or earn by being a sharp - @ultramarketsxyz - margin trading on top of Polymarket Each product in early stages but doing something novel, not simply aggregating markets. Imo the biggest upside in PM space is building consumer layer on top of foundational platforms and offering what underlying paltforms don't. It's hard in growth phase but most sticky if users find the product useful.

Easiest way to make $500 this weekend, if you can find a better platform.

Sportsbooks are a rigged game 1. You’re always betting against the house, and the house always wins. The vig is baked into every odd. You’re not trading on probability but paying a hidden tax on every bet. 2. The odds are a black box. Bookmakers set lines to protect themselves, not reflect reality. You’ll never know how much edge they’re taking from you. 3. You can’t exit or adapt- once bet placed, money is locked. Prediction markets let you sell your position mid-event because information changes, and your payout should too. Prediction markets give users an edge. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​As liquidity improves and more consumer-friendly interfaces are built (ex: @Bentodotfun) - most users will migrate to SPORTS PREDICTION.

The calling: April 1st, 2026 One app. All sports. Format YOU love.

What will @Bentodotfun unlock for the sports fans and traders? Quick answer: Best tools and interface for fun and high returns on sports predictions In detail: 1. Access all sports markets with insights from one app - better discovery, better decision guidance 2. Build formats of choice with friends or communities - Tournaments, Fantasy, Parlays 3. Create markets that are not available on Polymarket, Kalshi or other avenues - both publicly and privately 4. Escape the trap of one-off markets and low ROIs - get much higher returns (upto 100x), compound your edge over markets 5. Deploy sports trading agents and evolve them to have better accuracy and insights All of this on 1 click of a button on the move (with mobile app).

.@PratyakshInani on a legendary arc.

The last 3 months have been the most productive stretch I've had since Filament shutdown. Jan → Parlays Feb → Tournaments Mar → @Bentodotfun mobile app DM for access.

Why would someone use @Bentodotfun? > Better R/R > Better Form Factor But latest development: our prediction model We shared our performance prediction for F1 Chinese GP mid-week and the model was impressive - this is just the 1st iteration Social layer for sports prediction

Redbull and McLaren fans in shambles.

It’s time for MARCH MADNESS Hosting a bracket on @Bentodotfun If anyone would like to host their own tournament (bracket), you can: > Create just for fun > Challenge friends and family > Run a serious stakes bracket Fully customisable and 100% tournament fees goes to creator

TALK TO USERS - that’s a motto we’re taking very seriously. > Positioning and narrative > Product > Beachhead markets and gameplays We have been doing A/B testing with users on everything Bento. As a team of 4, we have been fortunate to have Alpha users as extended team.

Building Bento, @PratyakshInani and I were certain about: 1. Ship the product out to real user asap - more conversation we will do with users, the more we will learn 2. Numbers don’t matter as much as quality of the users FYI, Bento is still in Alpha and the real product is coming out end of this month. We already have: > 4 communities set to launch their tournaments on Bento > ~$10,000 in volume when the ticket sizes outside of NFL Super Bowl have been very small > 100+ private markets and tournaments created - groups are getting the hang of the product Mobile app will make it easy for people to build their own prediction leagues in the format they love.
