It's tempting to be on this project,

Simplified Prediction Betting w/ Revenue Sharing via Crypto
but its vague there's no relevant information about the site being a revenue sharing site, yes they have a video but it's a short and it doesn't explain in full in a way that we can understand the whole concept, it's better for OP to go on details create an FAQ or a whole page to explain the concept, you are in a hurry to monetize that you already have a dedicated page for advertising instead of the concept.

If you have a moment, you can take a look at our FAQ and documentation here: https://docs.headstails.xyz/


This announcement goes unnoticed for the last two weeks, I guess it was moved here but I don't think this is the right section for this project as they are not going to accept Bitcoin, and they are on a prelaunch it's better to move it in the altcoin section where it rightly belongs, there is no TOS, no FAQ what you posted here you should also post in your homepage, there's no readable information except your video, its very similar to Futuur but this one with a coin flip.

Also these guys are using a free domain?
I mean .xyz seriously? If they aren’t able to afford domain, how they gonna pay for the predictions?
Moreover OP also don’t care about the replies and suggestions here from Bitcointalk. After creating the announcement thread, the op has went invisible. So waste of giving suggestions here.
And yes this thread needs to be moved to the Marketplace(Altcoins) section, as the site doesn’t accept Bitcoins in any form.

Sorry for the delay in following up! We were busy finishing the site, and now it is live! Given that there were such genuine responses, we wanted to ensure the site is live before bumping anything up.
.xyz is not a free domain. It's an alternate TLD to .com, .net, etc. It's been recently popularized by the likes of block.xyz and is related to the tech industry.

HT has to resolve the question (select a winning answer) within 7 days of the question end date. The resolution source is transparent. If we don’t, users can unstake their tokens. This feature is built into the smart contract. This ensures that when users take part in a question, it will either result in the winnings to be distributed to the users or the funds can be claimed back by the users. HT cannot keep hold of the funds incase a question is not settled and winning answer not chosen.
Can you explain more on this?

Sure. Basically, it is an assurance/guarantee to the users. No one wants to bet their money if they believe the site can just hold onto their money forever. The smart contract dictates that if we have not resolved a question within 7 days of it ending, the funds go right back to the participants instead of being held forever.

Their platform seems to be like futuur. However, futuur is already accepting btc, and other top alts.
@headstails, as the site is not yet up and running, what would be different this time aside from using the BUSD currency?
You already have competitor who's been here in the business for quite a while.

Hi, thank you for your comment!
Yes, Futuur is doing something similar. However, our ultimate goal and differentiator is to make it as simple as possible. On Futuur, you have to understand share prices, and each question has market liquidity to consider. They have play-money markets, Ooms, AMMs for the question markets, selling of shares before questions end, etc. Bet sizes are limited depending on liquidity. It gets complex.

We aim to keep it simple. You make a prediction, and put an amount of money of your choice into the pot. That's it. The winners split the entire pot weighted by their entry. No algorithms to determine share prices, no possibility of liquidity collapse, etc. It's easier to interact with, easier to understand, and wholly secured by smart contract.

Announcing HeadsTails.xyz, a prediction betting platform on the blockchain!

What is it exactly?
HeadsTails is a community-powered platform for betting on the predictions of real-world events using cryptocurrency.
HeadsTails is hosted on Binance Smart Chain, platform currency is BUSD BEP20.
Topics span a range of categories, including politics, world events, sports, science, public health, and more.

How does it work?
Prediction betting allows you to place bets on the outcome of real-world events. There are other prediction betting sites, but they are needlessly complex. As the name "HeadsTails" implies, every topic on the platform is a simple "yes" or "no" bet, and you are free to bet as much or as little as you like.

HT has to resolve the question (select a winning answer) within 7 days of the question end date. The resolution source is transparent. If we don’t, users can unstake their tokens. This feature is built into the smart contract. This ensures that when users take part in a question, it will either result in the winnings to be distributed to the users or the funds can be claimed back by the users. HT cannot keep hold of the funds incase a question is not settled and winning answer not chosen.

The platform also has a points system. You get ranking points for winning bets. A global leader board shows top-ranking players. Monthly prizes will be on offer to top performers.

Users can also follow and see the dashboard of other users to see what questions they are taking part in.

SECURITY:
The platform is secured by smart contract, and all functions are verifiably secure. We are holding the launch of the platform for the release of the smart contract audit, for general transparency and security. Coming soon!

TRUSTLESS TOPIC RESOLUTION:
Every question has a verifiable end date. HeadsTails must resolve the question and select the winning side within 7 days of the question end date. If this is not completed on time, users can freely unstake their tokens. This feature is built into the smart contract. This ensures that when users take part in a question, it will either result in the winnings distributed to the users or the funds claimed back by the users. HeadsTails cannot keep funds in the event a resolution is not reached.

USER ENGAGEMENT:
The platform has a points system. A user gets ranking points for winning bets. A global leader board shows the top-ranking players. Monthly prizes will be on offer to top performers. Users can also visit and view the dashboard of other users to see what questions they are taking part in.

REVENUE SHARING:
We are opening the platform to allow you to submit questions and topics of your own writing. If your question passes review and is selected for inclusion on the site, you will earn 1% of the entire bet pool! This is ripe for influencers and community organizers - send your community to engage your question, and earn a percentage of everything regardless of the outcome.

We'd love to hear what you think!
