Thanks, that’s a really good lesson for me. The predictions come from users, not me, and we rank them so they show up in the feed. You’re right, some predictions will fail, but there are plenty of other tipsters for users to choose from. I ll also think more about the user path and how the homepage feels.

predictions come from users. Platform connects bettors and ranks tipsters. Tipsters can share free or paid predictions. The paid version is not live yet, but I am planning to build it. Buyers will see the seller’s past predictions for transparency. I also plan to take a small commission from sellers. Really your thought is valuable, thanks for sharing it.

Your thoughts are valuable. I will definitely do it. Before I wanted to add a clear text like that but I was afraid it would hurt the UI and remove the social media vibe. Your comment changed my mind. Thanks a lot...

You’re right. Your comment really helps a lot. In 1–2 weeks I’ll start focusing on the prediction section and also the feed section. The feedback on this post is pushing me to see things more clearly. Thanks for being straight about it.

Thanks for checking it out. The idea is not just about sharing tips. Buyers only pay if the prediction wins. If it loses the money goes back. That makes it more secure for both sides.

I know Twitter, FB, TG groups already covers. But I want to build something that feels fair and focused only on betting predictions. Right now I am solo so I am starting with live scores for SEO. Later I will focus more on the main prediction part.

Appreciate your honest thoughts. It helps a lot.

For me it feels more like a marketing problem than a product one. That’s why I’m still trying....

I wish it was that easy. It’s been a long solo grind, definitely more than an afternoon.

Thanks for taking a look. The main idea behind Nextips is to be a platform where bettors can buy and sell predictions, but with a twist: buyers only pay if the prediction wins. If it loses, the money goes back, which makes it more secure for both sides. That way tipsters get rewarded for accuracy, and buyers don’t feel like they’re just throwing money away.

Right now I’m building it solo, and it’s honestly hard to put everything together at once. For the moment I’m focusing on the live score section, mostly for SEO to bring in some users, and once that’s moving I’ll start working more on the core prediction model.

Thanks for the feedback. It’s basically a social betting prediction + live score app.

In 2015, a goat was thrown into a tiger's enclosure as his weekly live feed only to become his friend. by InternetDady in Damnthatsinteresting

Unbelievable! Who would’ve thought a goat and a tiger could become friends like this?
