Powering a Skill-First Prediction Game: JusPredict x Roanuz

May. 15, 2025

Are you building a fantasy or prediction platform and struggling with live cricket data or fair matching systems? This case study breaks down how JusPredict, a fast-growing cricket prediction app, used Roanuz Cricket API to power real-time gameplay, ensure fair prediction matching, and create a prediction platform that rewards skill over luck.

What You’ll Learn

  • How JusPredict transforms predictions into skill-based challenges using confidence scoring and virtual currency
  • The real-time engine behind fair prediction matching
  • Why ball-by-ball data is essential-and how Roanuz delivers it
  • How users can predict, trade, and even exit mid-game like a market
  • What separates JusPredict from fantasy leagues and betting apps
  • Their larger mission: building the world’s first structured, regulated prediction market

Introducing JusPredict

Think of JusPredict as calling plays on the pitch with a clear head, not a blind guess. Instead of relying on luck-like flipping a coin-users stake JP Coins and set a confidence score (0–100%) to show how sure they are, like adjusting the volume on a radio: the higher the volume, the stronger the signal (and the risk).

Why It’s Different

  • Confidence over Coin Tosses: A 70% confidence isn’t just a number-it means the user is “7 out of 10” sure this will happen.
  • Fair Head-to-Head Matching: Players are matched against someone who holds the opposite opinion. No house advantage.
  • Live Ball-to-Ball Impact: Every run, wicket, or dot shifts outcomes in real time.
  • Exit Like a Trader: Players can cut losses or lock in gains before the prediction settles-just like trading a stock mid-session.

The Challenge

How do you build a prediction platform that feels more like a sport than a gamble? JusPredict had a big idea:
  • Let users make predictions by staking JP Coins, the platform’s in-app currency used to place their opinions on specific outcomes.
  • Attach a confidence score (from 0% to 100%) to each prediction. This number reflects how strongly a user believes their prediction is correct. The more confident they are, the more they stand to win-or lose-based on the result. For example, predicting with 70% confidence on a 1,000 JP Coin stake means gaining or losing 700 coins depending on the outcome.
  • The platform matches users with opposing viewpoints in real-time using a fair and transparent algorithm, creating a skill-based competitive environment.
  • Predictions evolve live with every ball, wicket, or run, dynamically adjusting the probability and outcomes as the match unfolds.
But for that to work, every ball, run, and player move had to be accurate, real-time, and fast. Guesswork wouldn’t cut it-they needed data they could trust.

The Solution

We provided them with Roanuz Cricket API-built for real-time performance and used by fantasy and betting platforms across the world. 🔹 Live Data Feeds: Toss, scores, wickets, partnerships, player stats 🔹 Ball-by-Ball Updates: Delivered instantly via Webhooks 🔹 Advanced Match Insights: Player form, series stats, fantasy points 🔹 Seamless Integration: Via Python SDK and Firebase for real-time sync In short, JusPredict had the cricket brain they needed to power their idea.

How JusPredict Works

Here’s how everything plays out inside the JusPredict app:
  1. Make a Prediction Pick a question like "Who will win the toss?" or "Will Player A hit a six this over?" Then stake your JP Coins (the in-app currency), and set how sure you are-anywhere between 0% and 100%. That confidence score is like saying how loudly you're calling the shot. For example:
    • 90% confidence = "I’m pretty sure this will happen."
    • 40% confidence = "I think it might happen, but I’m not too sure."
    The more confident you are, the higher the potential win-or the loss.
  2. Win More When You’re Right Let’s say:
    • You predict with 70% confidence on a 1,000 JP Coin bet.
    • If you're right → you earn 700 JP Coins
    • If you're wrong → you lose 700 JP Coins
    So it’s not a coin toss. Your outcome depends on how much you back your prediction.
  3. Get Matched with Someone Who Thinks Differently Every prediction goes to the JP Exchange, where it's matched with another user who has the opposite opinion. It's always user vs user-no platform taking a cut. So it’s like a cricket debate where both sides have skin in the game.
  4. Exit When the Game Changes Like changing your mind during a stock trade, you can exit early.
    • If the match shifts in your favor, you can exit and lock in profit.
    • If it turns against you, exit early to cut losses.
    For example:
    • Enter at 70% confidence and exit at 90% → you lock in ~66% of potential profits.
    • Exit at 35% → you take a smaller loss instead of risking the full amount.
