Not another hot take feed
Likes and reposts fade. TellShots keeps the claim, the timestamp, the confidence you stated, thread counters, and the verified outcome, so “called it” becomes checkable history.

How TellShots is different
A social forecasting platform for people who want credit when they’re right and accountability when they’re not. Not another hot take feed or a sportsbook.
Not a sportsbook
There’s no house edge, odds board, or pooled wagers. You’re building a public forecasting résumé. The product is reputation you can point to, not a payout slip.
Built for serious forecasters
Sports, markets, tech, politics, culture. Any domain with a verifiable outcome and a clear resolution date. Stand out because your track record proves out, not because a post went viral.
Everything you need to build a forecasting reputation
From locking your first TellShot to sharing a certificate after a correct call: the full credibility stack in one platform, on web and native apps.
Locked predictions (TellShots)
Publish a forecast with claim, confidence, and resolution rules set upfront. Once live, the core call can’t be quietly rewritten. Integrity by design, so your track record means something.
Threads, counters & backing
Every TellShot opens a thread. Counter forecasts are opposing locked predictions that challenge the opening claim. Backing lets others align with a node in the thread. Stake counters and consensus views show how many people backed or countered before the outcome. Debate with receipts.
Prediction certificates
When your TellShot or winning counter resolves correct, generate a tamper evident certificate: what you predicted, when you posted, confidence, and the resolution date. Each gets a unique verification URL to share on social, portfolios, or LinkedIn. Anyone can confirm it without trusting a screenshot.
Verified outcomes
Clear resolution rules and outcome verification so wins and misses stay on the record. Resolved threads update your stats automatically. The feed is a ledger, not a memory hole.
Credibility points & calibration
Points accrue from scored resolutions. Your profile shows totals, week over week movement, accuracy, streaks, and calibration, how well your stated confidence matched reality, not just whether you got the direction right.
Badges & domain crowns
Earned marks for milestones, category expertise, bold calls, and standout weeks, displayed on your profile as a trophy row, not buried in settings. Domain highlights show where your reputation is strongest.
Leaderboards
Global and category rankings from resolved calls. Climb as your record proves out, including Oracle treatment for top performers, driven by outcomes, not follower count.
Discovery, alerts & verification
Browse by category, follow forecasters, and get notified when threads resolve. Optionally verify your identity for a trusted profile mark.
Your reputation, visible at a glance
Every locked TellShot feeds a permanent profile — accuracy, calibration, credibility points, badges, and rank that update as outcomes resolve. That’s the asset you’re building.

Who TellShots is for
One platform, three ways to win: publish, discover, or host a community where outcomes matter more than takes.
For forecasters
Lock your call before the outcome is known. Build reputation with accuracy, calibration, points, badges, and shareable certificates when you’re right. A track record that speaks louder than a bio.
For readers
Stop guessing who actually knows their domain. Follow forecasters whose resolved record proves it. Read threads, compare counters, and see consensus before you trust the take.
For communities
Turn endless debate into structured predictions with resolution dates. Sports clubs, investing circles, policy watchers, and fan communities. Anywhere verifiable outcomes beat forgotten threads.

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers before you publish your first TellShot.
Is TellShots gambling?
No. There’s no house odds, pooled wagers, or payout wallet. TellShots is a social forecasting platform focused on transparent predictions, verified outcomes, and reputation — not betting.
What makes a prediction “locked”?
Once posted, the core claim, timing, and resolution framing are fixed so results can’t be rewritten after the fact. That’s what makes your track record trustworthy.
What is a counter?
A counter is an opposing locked prediction in the same thread — a structured challenge to the opening TellShot, not just a comment. Counter and backing counts show how much debate happened before resolution.
What are prediction certificates?
When your TellShot or winning counter resolves correct, you can generate a verified certificate with a unique URL. Anyone can open the link to see the original claim, your confidence, and the outcome — permanent proof you called it, without screenshots.
How is this different from posting on social media?
Likes reward attention; TellShots rewards accuracy. Threads, counters, calibration scoring, and verified outcomes turn “called it” into checkable history you can build reputation on.
Can I try without an account?
Yes. Browse as a guest from the sign-in page and create an account when you want your history synced across devices.
