I've been looking at ICO's and here's my top pick: Stockbet - https://stockbet.comLegitimate - They are one of the few ICO's that actually has working software. I’m playing in their Bitcoin round. Join in by making a bet on Bitcoin: https://stockbet.com/#/BullBear/round/17971Or, make a bet on Ethereum: https://stockbet.com/#/BullBear/round/17970Token Sale starts Oct 29. Potential - According to Coindesk, gambling and cryptocurrencies have huge potential. They call it the perfect storm. https://www.coindesk.com/national-economics-gambling-cryptocurrency-perfect-storm/Stockbet wants to gamify the biggest asset classes in the world Derivatives - $630 trillion Fixed Income - $199 trillion Stocks - $70 trillion If Stockbet gamifies only a tiny percent of this, it will be bigger than all of the cryptocurrencies combined. They already let you bet on cryptocurrencies, but it’s only worth $165 billion. Take the time to read their white paper. It clearly identifies the existing gambling sectors that will be disrupted and replaced. It explains the untapped social competition gambling that is unaddressed. It clearly explains how the blockchain can eliminate the problems with existing industry: theft and cheating by gambling sites, expensive fees and long wait time to withdraw and identity theft. It clearly identifies the massive size of this market. Which market gives you potentially $900 trillion in size? The world’s GDP is only 74 trillion. There are no micro transactions here. Cryptos round to zero. Feel free to comment.

True. What's missing is social competition. And most of the people in the world cannot bet on options. And there are many types of gambling on the financial markets that can be improved on the blockchain.

The largest options exchange in the US is moving in on a $1.6 billion bitcoin opportunity http://www.businessinsider.com/cboe-is-making-moves-on-a-16-billion-bitcoin-opportunity-2017-10This is not only an opportunity for Cboe, it’s also an opportunity for StockBet as it will increase the betting activity of Bitcoin on StockBet. Not everyone in the world can bet on the options exchange.

You should take a look at digipulse, it is an inheritance service so your coins will go to your chosen one rather than be lost in the blockchain after you die

That's an interesting concept. But wouldn't it be just as easy to make sure that you leave your wallet and password on a usb key for your chosen one?

interesting project, can't wait to see the financial world's response to this, I'm pretty sure they are paying attention to everything going on in blockchain development, let's see how much of that options market stockbet can get as well as change it since the whole social media idea and the cost reduction through smart contracts is quite the leg up on the existing alternatives.

Potential -
According to Coindesk, gambling and cryptocurrencies have huge potential. They call it the perfect storm.
If Stockbet gamifies only a tiny percent of this, it will be bigger than all of the cryptocurrencies combined.
Coindesk might say that cryptocurrencies can be successfully applied to gambling and provide big profit, but there already are tons of coins adjusted specifically to gambling as well as lots of bitcoin-accepting casinos. Why is another coin needed? If a 'tiny percent' was indeed controlled by Stockbet it would surely be a huge success, but what makes anyone think that it will? How is this coin different from vslice, enjin, burst...? There isn't a lot of information on this ico on the Internet and that is usually a bad sign.

How is this coin different from vslice, enjin, burst...? There isn't a lot of information on this ico on the Internet and that is usually a bad sign. You’re right, there are tons of coins for gambling, but these are for casinos, sports betting, esports, computer games, etc. There isn’t one specifically for stock betting, that I’m aware of. Bitcoin-accepting casinos still have problems. They can steal your money. They can cheat. These problems are removed with smart contracts. vslice is not related to stocks. I can’t even read their white paper. When I try to download it, I get some testing doc. enjin is related to computer games, not stock betting. burst is even less relevant. SB seems low key because (computer) gaming is huge, but not all of gaming has gambling. SB is listed on 18 ICO listing sites. It's going to go after financial betting sites: IG, Binary.com, Nadex. IG is one of the biggest firms in UK. It did £456 million in revenue. But it’s boxed in UK because of regulations. SB will be decentralized. Also, these sites make you pay fiat, send identification docs, wait several days to deposit and withdraw and charge hefty fees for doing so. All of these old school gambling sites will be replaced. That's the tiny percent.

A really promising ICO is BurstIQ, you guys should take a like at it. I invested a few hundred, because its really important to get a marketplace for health data and services! They have a great and active team ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

That's a ridiculous amount of money. That's because the stock market has the biggest asset classes in the world. It's not like sharing files or CPU, like other ICO's wanted to do. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstockbet.com%2Ftokensale%2Fasset-class-chart-486px-2.png&t=665&c=GU06wm35y8L1eA) Both Overstock and Stockbet have huge potential. But you can overpay for these monster ICOs. Many did with Bancor, Tezos and EOS.

Worldcore ICO is one you can't afford to miss, the project is sound and the market is huge for them to explore, there are others too, like Spectre that I like very much too, they have a working platform already

Its good project and good concept. But recently, there are some project based on gambling rise, so how you can make sure that this project will be success? I think there are competition between them and make it not that easy.
