Hi guys, I am working on a mobile app to bet on baseball. It has a different approach to the ordinary bet on a team scheme known to all of us.

I want to introduce a kiniela format where the player has to pick a team in all games of the day and the one with most winners takes all the jackpot home. If two or more pick the most winners they split the jackpot evenly. So for example if a thousand people bet ten mbtc each (the price of a playing ticket) then the winner takes ten thousand mbtc in his pocket.

This way of betting is very popular in soccer around the world and I would like to introduce it to baseball first, then to basketball, football and hockey in the future depending on its acceptance.

Let me know what you think.

Good idea. It's like a daily picks contest. Maybe you should make the payout tiered depending on how many entries you have.

Here is a screenshot of the app:

And here how you would pick the teams and play:

Winner takes all. That's the good thing so the jackpot is big. I've been running simulations with a thousand and ten thousand players, of course the more players the more winners since there are approximately 15 games a day and two possible outcomes per game win/lose so the odds are 2^15 even though favorite teams are more likely to win so the odds get reduced to one in a thousand.

If you want to be a tester let me know to put the link to the app available for download.
