 Is it possible that someone eventually starts a sportsbook as a moneypot app?

 Or the house edge kelly etc thingy is making sportsbooks impossible for moneypot?

It is imposible, because the odds are not fixed for sports. It cannot be verified easily like simple dice games.

Virtual sports are possible. Like virtual horse racing.

I can't say much, but as a personal project of my own, I've been developing something like this to work with Moneypot.  It's still got quite a work to be done though.

That's is true. Who will decide on odds, if they are using moneypot funds? Definitely it shouldn't be app owner because he/she will choose higher odds to attract more people to bet but they are not the investors. I think, it will be quite complicated to implement in moneypot system.

I don't think so. Moneypot is running a fixed system for their dice games so building a sportsbook in it will take work. If you want to buil your own sportsbook then just build your own site independently and ask a developer to make the works in it.
