Aug. 10, 2010 - PRLog -- Berlin, Germany - Wisdom of Fans launches the first global twitter prediction game and offers a prize of up to 5000€ in its hunt to find the world wisest football fan!

Twitter is great for sharing predictions and opinions. However until now there wasn't one central system that collected up that public data and showed you the aggregated opinions of thousands of people. Wisdom of Fans has solved this problem, focusing first on football predictions.

For the first weekend of the English Season there's a special launch contest which will reward the best predictor with up to 5000€* should they predict those 10 games more accurately than all other players.

It's users can track the accuracy of all their football predictions for the Spanish, English, German, Italian and French football leagues. They can see at a glance the aggregate opinions of thousands of other players. Each time they're correct they'll earn points which move them up the global league table. "Think you know your football? Prove it! Come and battle the masses to prove who is the wisest football fan in the world."

The service was in Beta during the FIFA World Cup where it aggregated, public tweets offering smart global predictions for all the games. "We saw a staggering amount of people sharing predictions for the games via twitter. In total we recorded and analysed over 250,000 individual predictions throughout the month" say its founder Adam Fletcher.

Fans were surprisingly accurate in selecting outcomes, calling the winners of each game correctly 46% of the time. Predicting the actual score was a much harder feat, only predicted correctly in just 7% of matches.  

"We're excited to see how much higher that figure will be when people are predicting on the league they know best" added Mr Fletcher.
