Re: Bookie - Sports Betting Exchange on the Blockchain Wants Your Input
Hi DMo09,
Interesting idea. The focus with Bookie has always been to offer a decentralized alternative to the established sports betting market, which turns over many billions of dollars a year, as we are all aware. Although blockhain (and even Bookie, who knows!) might be able to help in the way you describe, it isn't something that we at PBSA will be looking at in the foreseeable future.
But that's some creative thinking you've got going there... hmmm.... Maybe a company with connections in this space could build an MMA-crowd-promotion app on top of the Peerplays blockchain? Then Bookie could easily provide betting on those events. Keep the ideas coming

Will Bookie ever have the ability to crowd-fund matches/games? For example, in the MMA sub-culture, there are many groups of different disciplines interested in who would win a match between two non-professionals, but there is no easy way to crowdfund these fights (and bet on them). There is no incentive for fighters to risk injury on an exhibition match, but they would if money was on the line.
Crowdfunding could bring together many other different matches or games (sport & non-sport) that would otherwise not happen.
*Even better if there were tools for promoters to use so they could get a cut for raising the money.
Seems like a natural fit for Bookie to pioneer the first crowd-funded & betting capabilities...
