Flashcast Features
Flashcast lets you poll your friends and co-workers for forecasts and keeps score of how everyone did.
Setup your Flashcast
Ask a question about what you want the audience to forecast, e.g. "Will it rain tomorrow in Chicago, IL?" Remember, you’ll be asking people to submit a probability (0-100% chance something will happen) so your question should have a verifiable outcome.
