Bernibets – Prediction Markets For Friends! external link

On a trip with my friend, I was introduced to Kalshi and Polymarket and was shocked at how degenerate it was being able to bet on literally anything. So naturally I built a joke/ironic app where we could do the same thing (with fake money) on group outings!

Managed to get a prototype finished in time for our big annual ski trip and we had a blast ‘betting’ on things like “Will [friend that always breaks his phone] break his phone?” and “Who will win the first game of Jackbox?”

How It Works

1. Create a group for your trip and give your friends the group code to join.
2. Everyone starts with the same amount of Tokens/Points/Ski-bux that they can wager on each question.
3. Place bets on the options that you think will win – the more bets on an option, the more it costs to pick that option.
4. Anyone can propose when an outcome has happened and everyone gets 24 hours to dispute it.
5. Every share of the winning option pays out as 1 Token once the 24 hours has passed. So if you bet 2 tokens when the odds were 50%, you win 4 Tokens!

Key Features

* Leaderboard to show who’s the best!
* Chat to trash-talk your friends on each question.
* Notifications only used to tell you when a new question comes up.
* Admin controls and other customization to tweak it for your friend group.
* Completely free!!

I’d love to hear what you think or how I can make it even more fun. Hope you give it a shot on your next trip with friends or even start a long-running Calculus class group to try to spice it up a bit.
