How It Works
How the Leaderboard Works
A complete guide to rankings, points, Bettor IQ and how to climb the board.
The Leaderboard is the single view of where you and your squad actually stand. But “top of the leaderboard” can mean different things depending on how you sort it.
The short version
The Leaderboard ranks players and squads by related but distinct measures: total points earned in a period or Season, and Bettor IQ.
Why there are two ways to rank
A leaderboard sorted purely by points rewards activity and results. That is useful, but it does not always tell you who is the sharpest predictor. Bettor IQ adds a skill-focused view alongside points.
How rankings are structured
- Individual rankings: every player is ranked by points and, separately, by Bettor IQ within their current tier.
- Squad rankings: squads are ranked using the group’s aggregated points and weighted Bettor IQ.
- Live updates: rankings shift as predictions settle, so the board reflects current standing at all times.
What moves your position
- • Points earned from prediction outcomes, Missions, and squad participation.
- • Activity, because inactive stretches let Bettor IQ drift toward the middle as recent form carries more weight.
How to climb it
- • Decide which board you are chasing: points rewards volume and participation, while Bettor IQ rewards prediction skill.
- • Stay active through Missions, which add points outside raw prediction outcomes.
- • Lean on your squad, because a group of engaged contributors climbs faster than relying on one standout player.
