We Tried Out the PancakeSwap Prediction - See the Results

Game of Chance

PancakeSwap offers price prediction for $BNB, the native token of the BNB Chain, on its platform for punters to try their luck. We tried this product, and here is the walk-through from a first-person’s perspective. To get started, head over to PancakeSwap site and then follow the steps below:

Step One: 

• Choose ‘Prediction’ under the tab ‘Win’ after connecting your wallet to the PancakeSwap site 
• PancakeSwap supports a range of different crypto wallets. Fund the wallet with $BNB and connect your wallet to the site. 
• Take extra caution to ensure that it is a genuine PancakeSwap site to avoid phishing websites. 

Step Two: 

• Every prediction round is a 5-minute phase. You can only make a prediction for the next 5-minute phase. 
• The phase available for prediction will have a green bar with the words ‘Enter UP’ and a red bar with the words ‘Enter DOWN.’ 
• A multiplier will indicate the return on your bet if the prediction is correct.  
• Every bet is transacted on the BNB Chain and locked in a prize pool. 

• The multiplier will change algorithmically to allocate the reward for correct predictions fairly.
• If the majority of the participants choose to bet on ‘UP,’ the multiplier will reduce. 
• Take a pick and allocate the amount that you wish to punt for that phase.  

• PancakeSwap uses Chainlink oracle for transparency and fair-play
• There are a few factors that may influence your decision. These factors are: 

- Multiplier 

- Risk/Reward ratio

- Prize Pool

- Countdown Timer

Step Three:  

• Once the prediction is entered, the five-minutes countdown takes place
• Wait for the result after the 5-minute countdown ends.

Step Four: 

• Claim your winnings by clicking on the button ‘Collect Winnings’. 
• We made a correct prediction and were rewarded with a multiplier of 2.15. 

• The winnings can only be claimed using the same wallet that interacted with the contract. 
• Ensure that there is enough $BNB to pay for the gas fee. However, the gas fee on the BNB Chain is negligible. 

• A button that shows ‘CLAIMED’ will appear when the reward is collected. 

• Participants who made winning bets can still claim previous predictions by checking the history section and choosing the radio button for ‘uncollected.’ 
• This is a game of chance, therefore, risk management is essential. A smaller allocation should follow a riskier bet that has a higher multiplier.

Caution and Tips 

• To avoid bets being rejected, you are advised to place your bets with at least a 30-seconds window to spare 

• You can improve your odds of making the right prediction by adopting the following game plan: 

- First, if the previous phases have moved in the same direction, a reversal will likely occur. A reversal is often indicated by a smaller increase/decrease compared to the previous phases.  

- Secondly, if the general sentiment of the market is bullish and the momentum is trending upwards, do not bet against the market. 

- If the multiplier is high, risky picks can be compensated. 

How We Decide:

• In order to increase the odds of winning, three consecutive ‘UP’ followed by an intense ‘DOWN’ indicates a reversal and a change in price momentum. 
• Our choice to choose ‘DOWN’ is motivated by momentum. 
• However, it is worth noting that it becomes increasingly harder to predict the price action within a shorter time frame accurately.
