2.2. Configure the predictions.
1. Introduction.
Cool Tabs allows you to set up a betting pool, in which participants make their predictions on the result of a match.
This type of mechanics can be configured as a quiz, showing the participant different answer options to choose from. For example: What will be the result of the Barcelona – Real Madrid match? And as answer options: 1 (BAR wins) / X (tie) / 2 (RMA wins).
However, among the answer options offered by Cool Tabs, you have the 'sports game forecast' answer type, which allows you to set up a prediction game in a simpler, more dynamic, and attractive way. With this response functionality, the participant only has to write the prediction, filling in the answer numerically or textually, depending on the configuration you select.
2. Step by step.
2.1. Create your campaign.
First, you must create your campaign and configure the basic setting. Is it your first time creating a campaign with Cool Tabs? In the following tutorial, we will show you how to configure the basic sections of a campaign, as well as other recommended settings, to ensure its proper functioning and maximize results.

If you have any questions during the process, you can contact us at help@cool-tabs.com.
2.2. Configure the predictions.
Go to the 'Quiz' section of the campaign editor, to start configuring the different questions or predictions.
You must check the option 'Quiz with points for right answers'. In this way, you will be able to set the correct result for each question so that points will be assigned to the participants who guessed. You can then run the draw among all participants, or only among those who guessed.
2.2.1. Add the questions.
Since this is a sporting event, each question will correspond to a match. You will have to add as many questions as you have predictions to answer.
2.2.2. Add the answers.
In the 'Answers' tab of each question, you have to configure the answer options. Choose the option 'Sports game forecast'.
You must set the points you will distribute for guessing each prediction.
By default, the option force numerical answer is checked so that the participant will only be able to answer by typing in numbers. If you want the participant to be able to give textual answers, uncheck the option. In addition, you can limit it so that the user cannot type more than one character.
Add the answer options.
Once the event is over, you can set the correct result (in the 'Correct result' field), so that the points are assigned to the participants.
In the 'Design' tab, you can include an image. By default, the image you upload is scaled to 300px.
Below, you can see an example of how the questions and answers would be displayed.
2.3. Other settings.
2.3.1. Display questions on certain dates.
If in your campaign there are stages, or you only want to display some questions during a certain period of time, activate the field 'This question will only be displayed on certain dates'. This can be found in the 'Advanced' tab of each quiz question.
This happens, for example, when you set up predictions with the matches of a World Cup, which can last for weeks, but several matches are played on each day. You can make sure that once the match has started, the participants will not be able to set the result.
2.3.2. Ranking of participants.
In gamification campaigns, where players score points, it is common to show the public list of participants. In this way, the participations are made public so that all participants know where they ranked.
If you want to show the ranking of players, with the points they have obtained, activate the list of participants.
To enable the public ranking of participants, follow the steps in the tutorial on How to display a public entries list or ranking of participants.
3. Other specifications.
Remember that, when the event is over, you will have to edit the quiz to indicate the correct answers. Points will be automatically assigned to participants.
The Cool Promo and Cool Promo White Label applications, included in the Gold and Diamond plans, respectively, are the ones that will allow you to set up a campaign with predictions.
You can also create a betting pool with the 7-day free trial, which allows you to test any of our plans.
