How Crypto Can Improve Sport Betting
Sport betting is what is known as gambling. While it can be fun, it is also an activity for which there is no skill involved, and all that determines the outcome of the event being wagered upon are chance. There is no guaranteed time period over which you will be able to make money with sports betting since luck plays a huge factor in determining how much your bet stands to gain or lose. The thing that makes sports betting so popular despite its unfair nature is that people know and trust the odds makers who set up bets, to begin with.
Anyone can become a bettor but not everyone can become an odds maker. Despite this new age problem, cryptocurrency developers have come up with solutions that will address some of these problems in the traditional sport betting industry through the use of blockchain technology and smart contracts. This will create a more secure sports betting system that rewards the bettor and make bookmakers fairer. One of these new-age ideas is being developed by an ambitious team called Surebet.
They intend to tackle the problem of unfair bookmaking with their decentralized, smart contract-based platform. How? This is through incentivizing the users who play against them, just like what blockchain does for its miners. This has excited those who are engaged in online gambling. The creation of this new platform will be done through a token sale happening on November 1st, 2017 where you can get yourself some SBETS tokens (SureBet’s cryptocurrency). Their crowdfunding goal is 4,946 ETH which isn’t very high given the size of their project so far.
Spearheading their project is Ian Sbrano which has proven himself in the past through his successful company named Sports Betting Bot which allows everyone to participate in sports betting through artificial intelligence programs that he created. And by doing so, the users who use it will profit from accurately predicting sporting events whether it be in the short or long run.
