About: ProphetX is a peer-to-peer sports prediction exchange where users can set prices for others to accept, or accept prices that are already available. Sportsbooks have fixed odds, high margins, and severely limit / remove bettors, all problems ProphetX solves with its peer-to-peer backend technology. ProphetX is an intermediary and never profits off their users’ losses. We are revolutionizing sports prediction with a sweepstakes promotions approach where users also have the ability to play for free.
