[ANN] ⚽️ FansUnite ⚾️ Sports Betting on the Blockchain

[Dipsomaniac]

Are you guys looking for new talent to bring onto the team?

We are always interested in talking to potential new hires that are passionate about the project. As you can imagine, sports betting is an industry that some people really are passionate about, and as such, we've had quite a few reach out to us. We will always make time to speak with our community, and people who are interested in working with us!

So where can I send a resume?

The platform wallet will allow bettors to bet on our web-based platform (and mobile from your browser) as soon as we launch our beta. Our timeline for the mobile app, which will include the wallet, is conservatively set for 2019 - though we internally hope to best this timeline depending on hiring etc.

The platform wallet will allow bettors to bet without worrying about paying transaction costs associated with placing a bet.

Okay I want to understand this fully. The transaction costs of placing a bet is different than the .5% fee I've heard about?

Our fee is actually 2%, this is baked into the odds we offer so you'll be paying $100 to win $98... if there's a matching $100 bet on the other side that loses then they just surrender that $100..... so off of a total of $200 laid down, FansUnite earns $2 which is a 1% margin / vig.

The transaction costs we refer to above are actually Ethereum gas costs, which you would be subject to paying if you elected NOT to use our platform wallet and just sent FAN to our bet smart contracts via metamask or myetherwallet.

So those are the only fees? No loading fees, etc.?

Nice project but on this period no one would like to invest on a project which will be on air at 2019. Its pretry long time. At least a beta version should be ready on ico period and platform should be ready in 6 months if you guys really want some investment

Thank you for your comments. We have an existing platform with over 100,000 users viewable at https://fansunite.com/. We will have an Alpha version available for the real money sportsbook in April of 2018, and a Beta in June of 2018.

This response alone should show any doubters that you're the real deal.

Since you guys basically have an in house machine learning team, are there any other uses they have come up with for machine learning with FansUnite besides prediction of odds?

Anything?

There was a different betting project.
assessable. original projects are likely to be successful projects for me.

Not sure I understand, there's a lot of gambling projects.

That's a good question, I'd also like to know what they're cooking up.

Therein lies the problem. There are A LOT of gambling ANNs on this site, so competition for this is high.

Great question. There are a number of other uses for ML, but of course, the creation of sharp lines will be the focus. Other features we may use ML for, as the data is already created on our end to help set the lines, are fantasy point projections, optimal lineups, and data visualization.

No other fees from our end. Our aim is to give bettors the best chance at profitability, and in pursuit of that, we are cutting costs everywhere we can. There will definitely be no hidden costs either.

Agreed. I believe it's up to the prospective contributor to do some due diligence and ask the necessary questions to gauge their comfort level with the proposed team to successfully build what they are saying they are going to build. I believe that any prospective contributors interacting with our team will be excited with our team and the potential.

That's like 33% cheaper fees than I've ever seen.

Yeah I can't find anything cheaper after googling for it.
