Welcome to Called It!
Called It! is built on the belief that sports fans deserve a healthier way to enjoy making predictions. By replacing financial wagers with points, an Elo-based system that measures Sports IQ, badges, leaderboards, and social competition, Called It! turns sports prediction into a learning experience that rewards knowledge, strategy, critical thinking, and community.
At its core, Called It! is more than a sports platform—it is a form of remedial education. It gives users an opportunity to rethink the connection between sports, prediction, and gambling by teaching them to evaluate odds, understand risk, make informed decisions, and experience the excitement of competition without putting money at risk.
Watch the founder’s pitch to learn how Called It! could help create a healthier and more engaging future for sports fans.
Called It! is built around a simple question: Who really knows sports?
Our biggest innovation is Sports IQ—a performance score designed specifically for sports prediction. Rather than simply counting wins and losses, Called It! uses an Elo-style calculation that considers the difficulty of each prediction and continuously adjusts a user's rating based on their performance. This creates a dynamic measure of prediction skill that becomes more meaningful as users make more calls. Your Sports IQ isn't just a score—it is your reputation.
The point system is another major innovation. Currently, one of the closest competitors, All Chalk, awards the same single point regardless of which team a user selects. Called It! takes a fundamentally different approach. Our point values are tied directly to real-world moneyline odds, meaning a heavy favourite is worth fewer points while a more difficult underdog prediction is worth significantly more. This makes every decision more strategic and realistic. Users have to decide whether to take the safer call or risk more points on a difficult prediction. The result is a much more challenging and engaging experience.
Called It! also takes a different approach to the social experience. Traditional online wagering platforms are built primarily around transactions and individual bets. Called It! is built around community. Users can create private groups with friends and family, compete in group leaderboards, and talk about games and predictions together. At the same time, platform-wide chats allow everyone in the Called It! community to share opinions, debate games, and react to each other's calls.
Called It! also keeps a complete record of your prediction history, including wins, losses, winning percentage, points, and performance across different sports and leagues, which online wagering sites do not do. Users can see where they excel, where they need to improve, and how their performance contributes to their overall Sports IQ. Over time, your stats create a clear picture of how good you really are at predicting sports.
And then there is the Global Leaderboard.
Who is actually the best at predicting sports?
Users can build their Sports IQ, track their performance, compete against friends, and ultimately see how they rank against sports fans around the world.
That combination—Elo-based Sports IQ, odds-based scoring, gamification, and a social prediction community—is what makes Called It! different. We aren't trying to recreate online wagering without money. We are creating an entirely different experience where the competition is about knowledge, strategy, skill, and reputation.
Don't tell us you know sports. Prove it.
