Abstract: Systems and methods for rewarding users of a social network are disclosed. In embodiments, a social networking system receives a first user's prediction regarding an event, series of events, or portion of an event, as well as the first user's reasoning supporting the prediction. In certain embodiments, the social networking system then receives feedback—for example, in the form of a vote of approval—from one or more users regarding the information received from the first user. According to some embodiments, reward amounts for the first user and the feedback-providing users are then calculated based on at least the feedback and the outcome of the event, series of events, or portion of an event, the first user's prediction is about.
