I'm very interested and I will follow this.

The way I see it, this will function as a mix between a traditional bookie and a betting exchange such as Betfair or Smarkets. In H2H betting one side will be backing the bet and the other one will be laying.

I have a few questions about the project:

- How will you create liquidity for H2H betting? All big betting exchanges incentivize market makers and give them access to an API that allows them to give liquidity to the market which in order creates tighter spreads. Others use the API to implement betting bots, which at the end of the day also bring liquidity.
- Do you have deals in place with odds providers for vs. chain betting?
- Are you focusing more on US (baseball, basketball, hockey...) or Euro (soccer, horses) markets?
- What are the requirements for running a Masternode? Do you have any information available in this aspect? How will the Masternode settle the results of the events (is manual intervention necessary?)?

Hi there, to answer a few of these quickly, if you have more questions please join us on Slack at slack.wagerr.com

We will not be adding liquidity to H2H through API's early due to our goals being focused on adding the ability to achieve partner-less direct chain betting.

The oracle masternode owners will have 3 options to pull data for odds and outcomes. Sport betting API tieins, Site scrapes, and manual entry.

Wagerr is completely decentralized, thus if we used a single odd maker or information source it would still have a single point of failure, just like other semi-centralized solutions.

Oracle Masternode requirements

25000 coins collateralized.
Uptime measured weekly 99% or higher
Sport data feed
Public IP with a forced network port number
Bandwidth to accommodate the volume of the api calls

As for how bets are resolved here is a snippet from the soon to be released white paper.

Thanks!

Is there a plan to add an API any time in the future? I believe it is a crucial part to consider if you ever want H2H betting to reach a critical mass that makes it interesting for the occasional punter (i.e. low spreads).

How can I put my name on the list for running a Masternode?
