How Feud works

Everyone's got takes. Feud keeps score.

The one-page explainer. No jargon.

The core idea

Every question has two sides and a market probability (from Kalshi or Polymarket). The less likely your pick, the more points it pays if you're right. Wrong picks are 0.

Payout formula

round(100 ÷ your locked probability)

Payout is capped at 2,000 points per question so one mispriced fluke can't nuke a season.

Worked example

The market says the Chiefs win at 72%. Sarah takes the Ravens (28%).

Chiefs (favorite) paysround(100 ÷ 0.72) = 139
Ravens (underdog) paysround(100 ÷ 0.28) = 357

Ravens win. Sarah gets +357 and jumps to the top of the league. Everyone who took Chiefs gets 0.

The rules that matter

You can change your pick until lock. Each change re-locks you at the current market price — so a late flip on a fast-moving line changes your payout.
No pick = 0 points. The reminder email exists for a reason.
Void questions don't count. If the market voids or cancels, everyone's pick becomes "no points" and the question drops out of totals. You'll see a grey "VOID — no points" chip.
Payout cap is 2,000 per question. Protects standings from a 2% market fluke.

Confidence mode (advanced)

Same picks, but each week you also split 100 confidence points across the slate's questions. Your payout is multiplied by your share.

Math

multiplier = your confidence ÷ (100 ÷ number of questions)

On a 5-question slate, an even split is 20 each. Putting 40 on your best call = 2.0× the base payout.

The default is Simple mode. Confidence is for leagues that want more strategy.
