Can you make bets on horses that are AI vs making bets on real horses? I see a new gambling project that focuses on horse racing only and I am surprised that those horses are not real live horses, I went deep doing research and it kinda looks like players will be the ones fine-tuning their horses 🐎 for better performance and go ahead to head with other players.
Do you think that gambling have a place with the metaverse in the future? I had a dream about being able to gamble online with people that aren't living close to me, we meet in the metaverse and it looks real, I know that sometimes when you think positively about something it is possible to dream about it.
I think there is a place for gambling in the metaverse, but the main sports activities to bet on will be online players, who are supposed to play online multiplayer games... As for fully computer-driven games, I don't think it's gonna be interesting, just like watching bots only competition in an online game...
Then those multiplayer games are supposed to take place on the metaverse, then. We already have very interesting and competitive games and leagues where people partake and bet much money, like Counter Strike or League of Legends.
The problem is that in the Metaverse and with the current technology it has not been possible for people to have access to an addictive, competitive and fun game like those, which would require a Virtual Reality set.
Facebook/Meta is very far form reaching anything close to creating a new e-sport and the only successful VR games seems to be single player experiences, like Half Life: Alyx.
Just another reason I think the Metaverse still has a long path to go before harboring an active community of bettors.
