Resolves to the user with the fewest wrong guesses for predictles from Thursday January 8 (predictle #3) to Wednesday January 14 (predictle #9), inclusive. Not completing a day counts as 4 wrong guesses.

I may remove players from the competition at my own discretion, especially if they break the rules

  • Update 2026-01-13 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): Clarification on what counts as cheating: If one of the Predictle questions is about a market you created, having better understanding of the likely market price when playing Predictle is allowed and does not count as cheating.

  • Update 2026-01-15 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): The tiebreaker between @Sketchy and @Ziddletwix will not be determined by continuing to do predictles each day until one beats the other. A different sudden death battle format will be used (details to come).

ZIDDLETWIX DEFEATS SKETCHY AND IS THE OFFICIAL PREDICTLE GOAT OF MANIFOLD

@Bayesian Hard fought, well deserved, the true Predictle GOAT has been found

a very even match, taking a grueling ~40 rounds to crown a winner (lasting long enough that a few markets started to repeat). I definitely had some lucky guesses in the original week to make the finals (my avg will probably be higher going forward). Thanks to @Bayesian (and Claude) for coding up a very cool site to run the finals

And apologies to all other contestants whose Manifold accounts will now all be deleted.

@Sketchy played the long con—he lost the battle, but won the war

@Ziddletwix this is the second high-stakes 1v1 Manifold runoff you’ve won within a year

@Bayesian yea huge thanks to Bayesian, that was a super fun format and vibe coded site

@bens indeed, although last time came with a real prize. I will petition staff to add “luckiest manifold user” to my achievements page

bought Ṁ5 YES

Live!

@traders @Sketchy and @Ziddletwix will face off today, January 19, 2026, at 4PM PT, or 7PM ET, in the Manifold discord server's VC. Only one of them will emerge victorious. I encourage you all to attend. Live trading is encouraged.

@Bayesian the short notice is craaaazy, I’m gonna be streaming this from my lap at a social event

Format: They will each be presented with 2 binary markets. They will have to select which one has a higher market probability, as recorded before the battle begun. This will be repeated until one of them is defeated. They will have TBD lives. Each incorrect guess will take one life. The last man standing (without 0 lives) will win. If they both reach 0 lives, the first to err will be defeated.

@Bayesian wait have the markets already been selected? Can I dm some fun possibilities?

@bens they have not been selected, please do :)

i'm hoping it follows rough predictle eligibility (binary market, recently-ish traded, hopefully definition is vaguely legible from the title) but it's entirely up to @Bayesian . i am back to wifi from a weekend away and i skimmed the nyt headlines today so i should be ready to go

Live now!

If y’all don’t hurry up with the showdown, I’m gonna catch up.

@bens our reps are currently negotiating the terms of the title duel

@Ziddletwix Wait actually… can we get @LoganTurner or @strutheo to stream a live competition? That would be kind of cool.
