What is ScoreHub?

ScoreHub is a football prediction competition. You predict real matches, earn or lose points based on the result, and compete on public and private leaderboards. It does not use betting odds, wagers, or cash stakes.

Predictions are scored transparently against the official result and statistics shown in MatchHub.

How do I make, edit, or delete a prediction?

You can submit one entry per match from a featured ScoreHub league. That entry can be one selection or a stack of two to five selections from the same fixture. Selections from different matches cannot be combined.

You can edit or delete the entry until the prediction screen locks. Most fixtures lock at kickoff, but some can close up to five minutes earlier. After the lock, the entry cannot be submitted, changed, or deleted.

How do points, stack bonuses, and penalties work?

Every market has a fixed base value; teams and bookmaker odds do not change it. A correct single earns its base points. A wrong single loses 50% of its base value, rounded to the nearest whole point with .5 rounded up.

Stack bonuses

  • 2 correct selections: +25%
  • 3 correct selections: +50%
  • 4 or 5 correct selections: +100%

A stack receives its combined base points and bonus only when every leg is correct. If any leg is wrong, the bonus is lost, but the correct legs keep their base points and each wrong leg applies its rounded 50% penalty. Your running total is floored at zero; penalties do not create negative debt.

Which prediction markets are available?

Markets include Match Result (1X2), Correct Score, Double Chance, Half-Time / Full-Time, Both Teams to Score, goal totals, exact totals, win margin, goals by half, clean sheets, team goals, First Goal Team, Fast Goal, cards, corners, and fouls. Availability can vary by fixture.

Own goals count for the team credited on the official scoreline. Two yellow cards count as two yellows, and the resulting dismissal also counts as a red. A straight red does not count as a yellow.

Do extra time and penalty shootouts count?

Extra time counts when it is played. ScoreHub uses results and relevant statistics through the end of extra time for settlement.

Penalty shootout kicks never count as goals, cards, corners, fouls, or Match Result outcomes. MatchHub is the settlement source of truth. If official data is corrected later, affected predictions, points, accuracy, and rankings can be recalculated.

What happens if a match is cancelled, postponed, or abandoned?

  • Cancelled match: the prediction is void and does not affect points, accuracy, or leaderboards.
  • Postponed or rescheduled match: the original prediction is void; submit a new entry for the new fixture before it locks.
  • Abandoned after kickoff: every prediction is void, regardless of the score or statistics at abandonment.

If the match is replayed or replaced, it is treated as a new prediction opportunity.

How do points and accuracy leaderboards work?

The Points leaderboard ranks users by total points. The Accuracy leaderboard counts individual selections, including legs inside stacks, without a weighted average. A three-leg stack with two correct legs contributes two correct selections from three to public accuracy.

Weekly periods run Friday 00:00 UTC to Thursday 23:59:59 UTC, monthly periods follow the calendar month, and ScoreHub seasons run from August 1 to the following August 1. Typical accuracy qualification is 3 weekly, 10 monthly, and 30 seasonal selections, though thresholds may change. Ties favor the member who joined ScoreHub earlier.

How are ScoreHub badges awarded?

Official badges come only from ScoreHub points leaderboards. The top three Global users and the top three users in each official league points leaderboard can earn weekly, monthly, and seasonal badges. Active monthly prediction-type competitions may also award badges.

Private Group Wars, accuracy boards, and team-only views do not award official badges. You can earn more than one badge in the same period, and previous achievements remain visible on your profile.

Are predictions and profiles public?

Predictions are public, including full selections before kickoff. The Activity Feed uses ScoreHub's algorithm and does not show every entry, but prediction history can be viewed through public profiles and relevant match pages.

Following users can shape your feed and notifications. You can update your username, profile image, nationality, and favorite team in profile settings.

How do private Groups and Group Wars work?

A Group War is an approval-only private prediction competition. The admin chooses eligible leagues, a target-points or time-based format, up to three winners, and the group's identity. Competition rules are locked after creation, although profile and invite details can still be edited.

You can find a group by name or tag, scan its QR code, open an invite link, or accept an email invitation. The admin must approve the request. A prediction counts when you are approved before that eligible match kicks off, even if you submitted it earlier. Leaving or removal voids that member's Group War points and results.
