FAQ:

What is a vote?

A vote is how you express your opinion on a post. There are two options: like and dislike. Once you have selected and submitted your opinion your vote cannot be changed. Each vote costs 100 berries to cast.

What is a wager?

Wagers are a chance to earn back the berries spent on a vote. After voting on a post you have the opportunity to bet 1 - 100 berries on another person liking or disliking that post. Any berries not bet are returned to you so long as the minimum bet of 1 berry is made. You will receive double your bet for a winning wager and nothing for a losing wager.

How do I win a wager?

Wagers can have one of two win conditions. A win condition can either be a random user likes the post or a random user dislikes the post. After you submit a wager a random vote is selected from the set of all votes placed prior to and including the vote made with your wager. If the selected vote opinion matches the opinion specified in your wager's win condition you have won.
