LordsOfOdds - Online Prediction Platform for Sports, Entertainment, Politics and Current Affairs
Posted by ilovegajeebo in startups on June 12th, 2009
LordsOfOdds is a great time killer. You get to predict on different topics and win points. As you win, your rank improves. Although there are no rewards on winning but at the end of day you are able to measure whether what you thought actually happened or not.
The website is really well designed but it fails to educate a casual visitor about how the system works. A video tour would certainly help.
We would suggest the promoters to showcase the best predictors and add some kind of promotional rewards for the website.
