How to predict

From picking a fixture to reading the consensus bars — how to make your first call and build an accuracy record.

We are not a betting platform and we do not promote gambling. Punter Hub is a free, community prediction game. No stakes are taken, no odds are offered and no winnings are paid out. Slip uploads are used only to verify a call was made before kick-off. 18+ · Play for fun.

1. Find a fixture

Open Fixtures or step 1 of the Create wizard and browse by Popular, Trending, Today, Tomorrow, Country, League or Tournament. You can also search by team name.

Live matches are locked for new calls — predictions must be posted before kick-off.

2. Choose a market

  • 1X2 — home win, draw or away win. The easiest starting point.
  • Over / Under 2.5 goals — total goals in the match.
  • Both teams to score — yes or no.
  • Correct score — hardest market, weighted highest in your accuracy score.

3. Read the community consensus

Every match page shows an animated backing panel: what share of the community is on each outcome across 1X2, Over/Under and BTTS. Use it to see where you agree with the crowd — and where a contrarian call could stand out.

4. Post your call with a reason

Add a short rationale (form, injuries, head-to-head). Predictions with reasoning get far more backing votes and help others learn. Then hit post — your call is timestamped and locked at kick-off.

5. Verify with a slip (optional)

If you placed the same call elsewhere, upload the slip image on the Upload slip page. Reviewers check only the timestamp, fixture and selection, then mark the prediction verified. We never place, process or settle bets, and verification gives no financial benefit — just a credibility badge.

6. Track accuracy and climb

After full time your prediction is graded and your hit rate, streak and weighted accuracy update. Post consistently to reach the minimum volume for the leaderboard, then keep your accuracy high to climb.

Good habits

  • Predict fewer matches, better — volume without accuracy hurts your ranking.
  • Log your reasoning so you can review what actually worked.
  • Treat every call as an opinion. Nothing here is advice or a tip service.
