Tip: Phrase your questions as objectively as possible to avoid biasing the results. Tip: Questions describing violence, discrimination, or illegal content may be altered or rejected.
Tip: Your title should include everything needed to answer the question including the subject (Alex Rodriguez), the action (hitting home runs), and the time frame (2008). Tip: Details like “last year he hit 47 home runs" can be put in as factiods on page 3.
Tip: We have separate categories to help predictors find questions that interest them.
Tip: Many predictors use tags to locate relevant questions. Tip: Tags are much more focused, specific, and numerous than categories.
Tip: If you have any doubt about whether your range is large enough, make it bigger. Otherwise, users may be unable to predict the correct answer!
Tip: Multiple Choice questions are best when there are 4-8 choices. Tip: Yes/No questions will be accepted, but generally produce weaker results.
Tip: Whenever possible, use numeric questions, as they produce more accurate and useful results.
Tip: Try to locate a specific, authoritative web page, where an accurate result will be obtained. Tip: Verification sources allow users to submit informed predictions.
Tip: For an event far off in the future, consider selecting an end date long before it occurs. You can still obtain useful time-based results.
Tip: Choose a verification date when the answer to your question can be authenticated. Tip: Choose a date you are sure the event will be over rather than guessing and being early - you can use the end date to set when predictions are no longer to be collected.
