I built a prediction market where you can bet against me achieving my goals.

The house doesn't always win... sometimes I just forget to study for my exams.

Powered by USDC on Base with Parimutuel Pools. Apparently Stripe doesn't like gambling.

This is great. Local, "among-friends" prediction markets are a cool niche to explore - if the experience can be gamified properly this can be a great viral app.
Hmm I get it's a thrill for the author to get exposure/internetfame, but what's in it for the bettors? Looks to me that if bets reach enough of a one-sided weight, it's super easy for OP to just "forget" to study for their test
