Hi! We have launched "Weather" section on our platform

Let's start with:

1. Will it be snowing in New York City on Christmas Eve?

2. Will it be snowing in Moscow (Russia) on Christmas Eve ?

This game is a unique new game for a gambling site. Gambling on the weather. It's something I haven't seen anywhere. I'd like to know, however, how your site computes the odds on how the event will happen? Did you base it on previous weather history? How about the house edge on this? I'm really curious as it's new and intriguing.

I would like to ask the same thing too but you already posted it and now im waiting for OP to answer this question.Im quiet confused on this unique weather game and how odds are being calculated.If it does snow on a small part of city should really be considered not be excluded.

haha very nice.
i have been seeing so many different things that people can bet on ever since i started gambling online with bitcoin. the first thing was some election a couple of years ago and that was the least strange to me. and now snowing :)
i'll make sure to make some bets as soon as possible.

yes its a new game with new bet for us as we know there is only dice, blackjack, slot, and i think for this new game, we need to take a look on the weather prediction and then we can make our prediction. it confuse to make this prediction because sometimes we are make wrong predict as we can not predict the weather, but its really interesting for to try.

A very rare game to bet which is basing on weather and its really unpredictable unless if you are a weather specialist :)
I would like to try  out this game.Actually i experienced all types of games that i bet but this one is very unique and unusual.

Since when did betting on weather became a game.

They get the odds from the amount of btc they have for each selection. For now you can see the odds are close if someone bet like 0.1 you should see a shift from the odds later on.

Woah , I haven't ever thought even about betting on something like this but this is a good one for your website according to me . No other websites according to me has something like this so your site will get some attention . Hope you add more things in weather category like "Will it rain in particular area on this date? " kind of things :)

Thanks for your feedback!

1. We will check what the weather was according to "Past Weather" on www.timeanddate.com 
Example: We close bet 4 days before the "weather day". Then we check what was the weather on this day according to timeandate.com

2. Our system is mutual betting. We don't set odds. They are calculated from the money in the pot. This is people vs people betting.

We also launched entertainment section: Will "Last Christmas" - Wham exceed 150 millions plays on Spotify on 31st December 2016 15:00 (PST)?

It's a very good idea and a new concept. But actually it can be easy what to bet, we just have to check the weather on our phones and see if it will be snowing on New York City for Christmas Eve for example. The same can be done with any city. I think you are throwing away free money with such bets. I can check from now what it will be the weather on New York city.

If I check now the weather.com website I can see it will not snow on Christmas eve and my bet gonna be a win.

I admire who is capable of even thinking something like this. The fact that is people vs people betting is even more fascinating. I will keep an eye on these bets since they interest me from a "social engineering" aspect.

this is actually very interesting gambling, i'm sure i'll place few $ on snow :)

This is really serious after we gamble on games, we then went to gamble on sports, we then graduated to the point of politics and now we are gambling against nature. This is really cool because I want to believe that cannot be anyway be rigged by multi-nationals with funds to influence the outcome as we can see in political moves and even sport. This is new way and I am going to give it a try.
