Details

At the center of our system are events, including sporting and political events. Users of our website can make an offer with their own odds on these events. Other users will see these offer listings and may choose to take up the bet.

A small up-front fee of 0.0006 (or less if credits are used) is charged to both the person making the offer and the person taking the bet to help ensure both parties interest and to keep the lights on at gamblor.bid.

When both an offer and accompanying bet exists, Gamblor creates two multi-signature addresses from the public keys of the person making the offer and from someone else taking the bet. These addresses are where the bet funds will be stored in escrow before the event is complete. Each of these addresses are configured similarly to bitcoin.org's buyer-seller escrow 2-of-3 escrow example https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Multisignature#Multisignature_Transactions.5B3.5D . The person making the offer and the better taking up the offer each pay in to these address.

When the event is ended, our system checks if everyone paid, and that they paid on time. At this point the system decides who won based on the event scores and sends the winner a transaction that includes both offer's and betters coin, signed in their favor. The payout address is the address associated with the public key entered while making an offer or bet.

Update 2016/10/07: Added NBA support. Plenty of games to choose from. Note to the guy I helped earlier today with the Giants vs Cubs bet - sorry all the new basketball games pushed your offer to page 2! Any Cubs fans around here? Go and show your support for your team

Now that we've got three different kinds of sports in our system plus politics it's time to start using our tags and categorization better. Expect some navigation updates soon to make it easier to find your way around.

Update 2016/10/16: Huge week of updates. Betting while paying the fee with Bitcoin is simplified into a single step. If you take up someone's offer and decide to pay the fee with Bitcoin, it is now simply added to the pay-in amount. After discussion in here we realized that the separated fee and pay-in is only necessary for offer listings, but not for people taking up a bet. Improvements to on-site messaging and notifications to help people understand the current status of bets and offers. New sidebar category navigation. Large number of back-end bug fixes and optimizations. Lots of NFL games today, get your offers in early!
