When you say predict, do you mean like casually predicting the outcome of a match without actually betting on the same match?

If this is actually what you meant, then I would say yes, I usually do on my own predict the possible outcome is a match without placing any bets, I sometimes get this prediction correct while other times, I get it wrong and this is normal with betting as well.

And about participating in a predictors community, I honestly do not know what this is or mean but I guess is cool, where is this community and does it offer any reward for correct predictions?

This is something more than just sports predictions. Acting as predictors, participants vote on specific matches, thereby estimating the odds. This is essentially a collective prediction and, at the same time, an assessment of probabilities. These odds are then converted into rating growth for so-called “Match Pools,” which are formed from events after the voting.

Each individual Match Pool is a sequence of events, and it has its own rating, which is periodically converted into rewards for the participants of that particular Match Pool.

Example:
Participants are asked to vote on the match: Real Madrid vs Barcelona.
Let’s assume the voting results are as follows:

Real Madrid wins – 40% of the votes
Draw – 25% of the votes
Barcelona wins – 35% of the votes

After the voting, the odds are converted into rating changes for the Match Pool that includes this match.

If Real Madrid wins – the Match Pool rating increases by +2.5%
If it’s a draw – the Match Pool rating decreases by -5%
If Barcelona wins – the Match Pool rating increases by +0.75%

The Match Pool rating determines the rewards for its participants. You can read more about this in the announcement thread.

In addition to voting and defining odds, predictors can publish their own forecasts and analyses, earning a reputation within the group and the broader community.[/list][/list][/list][/list]
