The room, in writing.
Start here
The notes that explain the whole thing.
-
What the middle means
The number in the middle of a prediction market isn't a price someone set for you — it's the most honest thing a whole room can make together.
-
It's a call, not a casino
A moving number feels like a wheel you spin, then hope. It isn't. Here's what makes a call on a play-money prediction market different from a flip.
-
What we're building, and what we're not
Straight talk: majjha is a play-money prediction market. The payoff is being right in public — a record, not money.
The latest
New notes, as they land.
-
How a question settles
How a question settles on majjha: it opens with a date printed on it, the room argues, the day arrives, the named source answers, and every record updates.
-
Your first call, start to finish
Your first call on majjha, start to finish: pick a question, read the middle, choose your side and Dots, preview the Call Ticket, lock it in, and wait.
-
The actual map of prediction markets (and where we fit)
Best prediction markets, honestly compared: real-money venues like Polymarket and Kalshi, play-money rooms like Manifold and majjha — and how to pick yours.
-
Prediction market vs. betting — what's actually different?
Prediction market vs. betting, answered straight: who writes the number, what it's for, where the two honestly blur — and what changes when the money leaves.
-
What is a prediction market? (in plain English)
What is a prediction market? A plain-English answer — the live number a disagreeing crowd makes, how it settles, and where a play-money prediction market fits.
-
The questions nobody else lists
The big markets all blur into one front page. The questions your group chat argues about aren't on it. We're building the room for the rest.
-
Claim your handle
Every waitlist promises you something. Ours is a name and a number — nothing else, on purpose. Why the two smallest things here are the ones worth having.
-
How a price shows up when the room is new
You're first into a brand-new room — so who takes the other side of your call? Where a starting price comes from, and why it's not against you.
-
A good read today, a sharper one tomorrow
Is being right just luck — or a skill you can build? It has a name: calibration. How keeping score closes the gap and sharpens your read.
-
Meet Pip
The little price-dot has a name, a mood or two, and — as of now — a voice. A warm hello to the friendliest face on the app.
The glossary
What the words mean, in a minute.
-
What is a 'tough read'?
A 'tough read' is majjha's name for a call that didn't land — kind on purpose, honest on the record. What the phrase means and why the room says it.
-
What is a forecasting game?
A forecasting game keeps score on being right: call real questions before the world answers them. How the category works, and the number a room makes.
-
What is a founding number?
A founding number marks how early you claimed your handle on majjha — fifth to claim is founding #5, forever. What it is, and what it will never turn into.
-
Why do the two sides always total 100?
Why prediction market prices sum to 100: Yes and No are one opinion written twice — 67 on Yes leaves exactly 33 for No, or the room disagrees with itself.
-
What does 67¢ mean?
How to read a prediction market price: 67¢ means the room, weighed together, is 67-out-of-100 sure of Yes — a reading of confidence, not a menu.
-
What is play-money?
What play-money means: money shaped for keeping score and worth nothing on purpose — free, no card, no money in or out. The score is the point.
-
What is a Call Ticket?
A Call Ticket is the receipt of a call — your side, your Dots, the price you locked in. What the ticket shows, and what happens when the question settles.
-
What does 'settle' mean?
How prediction questions settle on majjha: the real world hands over its answer on a named date, from the source the question names. Tickets settle with it.
-
What is the board?
majjha's board ranks how well you read, not how many Dots you hold. How the leaderboard rank works, why it can't be bought, and what oracle means at the top.
-
What is a room?
A room is where one question lives on majjha — the date it settles, the people calling sides, and the middle resting between them. The tour, in a minute.
-
What is a streak?
A streak is a run of calls that landed, one after another — honest momentum, fun to hold. What a streak means on majjha, and why the record outranks it.
-
What is your record?
Your record is the running account of every call you've made and how it landed — a track record for forecasting, kept honest. What it holds and why it counts.
-
What is 'the middle'?
The number in the middle of a majjha market is the live price a whole room lands on — nobody sets it. What the middle is, in a minute.
-
What is a call?
A call is you saying which way a real question lands — Yes or No, with Dots behind it. What a call is, and what makes it different from a spin.
-
What are Dots?
Dots are majjha's play-money — free, no cash value, never convertible. What they're for (keeping score) and what they're firmly not (money).
-
What is calibration?
Calibration is matching how sure you feel to how often you're right — the real skill majjha rewards. What it means, and why it isn't luck.
-
What does 'oracle' mean here?
On majjha, 'oracle' is the top player rank — a long record of good reads, not a machine that sees the future. What the word means here.
