Ball Social: Think Bloomberg Terminal and Facebook but for sports.

In the roaring 20s, data is the new oil, and reputation is the new gold. Welcome to Ball Social, the platform where we’ve finally taken the high-stakes, analytical rigor of Wall Street and applied it to the visceral world of sports.


The Problem: The "Fake Capper" Epidemic

For too long, the sports world has been plagued by "experts" who delete their losses, hide their bad takes, and scream about their wins. In finance, this would be called fraud. In sports, it’s just Tuesday. Ball Social ends this era. By combining Skin in the Game with an immutable Credibility Algorithm, we’ve created the first true "Transparency Market" for sports.


The Economics of Reputation (Cred)

In the Ball Social economy, Points are your currency, but Cred is your market cap.

  • The Filter: You start with 100 points ($X/mo subscription). This isn't a "free-for-all." By putting a nominal price on participation, we filter out the noise. Every bet has a cost. Every take has a consequence.

  • The Asset Class: Credibility (Cred) cannot be purchased. It is mined through accuracy, consistency, and "Hot Hand" streaks. You earn +1 for a win and lose points for a loss. Our "Level Up" formula rewards the "Data Sample Size"—the more you play and win, the more your "Verified Bull" badge shines.


"The Tape": Your Immutable P&L

Traders have their P&L; analysts have their track records. At Ball Social, every user has "The Tape." It’s a scrollable, transparent record of every prediction you've ever made.

  • The Logic Requirement: You don't just pick a winner; you explain why. You can even add your own analysis models that evaluates the quality of your logic, surfacing the thinkers over the lucky guessers.

  • The Tail Effect: For the savvy observer, Ball Social is a marketplace of intelligence. If a user with 100+ Cred and a "Verified Bull" badge posts a logic-heavy prediction on the Lakers, that insight becomes a "Strong Buy."


Wall Street Meets the Stadium

Whether you’re a quant looking to test an algorithm, a die-hard fan who knows the injury reports better than the coaches, or a trader looking for the next "undervalued" outcome, this is your arena.

Your reputation is now a trackable, tradable asset. Don't just tell us who's going to win. Prove it on the Tape.
