[ANN]Sports Events Club community

[vladi88]

 Annotation
 Sports Events Club is a community based on an interest in sports events, where participants can earn rewards for various activities: predicts, analytics, and discussions of sports events, participation in "match pools," "partner pools," and more. The key feature of the project is the use of NFTs, which grant users access to the community, and RP tokens, which serve as a reward for active community members. All values are created and distributed within the community, making the participants the primary beneficiaries.

 Introduction

Sports Betting: History and Modernity

Sports betting has existed for centuries, from simple wagers between spectators in Ancient Greece on the outcomes of the Olympic Games to modern-day bookmakers. This evolution has come a long way—from direct agreements between players to large international companies known as bookmakers, which have become the dominant actors in the industry.

Why Traditional Betting Models Don’t Work for Players

From a player's perspective, modern bookmakers, despite their convenience and accessibility, have several significant drawbacks:

• High margins: The bookmaker’s commission is embedded in the odds at an average of 5% (and sometimes 20–25%), which practically guarantees losses in the long run for the vast majority of players.
• Restrictions for winning players: Many companies limit maximum bets or close accounts of successful players to minimize their own risks.
• Verification and centralization: Companies control all processes, making players fully dependent on the platform’s rules.
  

Psychological Aspects: Why Players Lose

Sports betting is not only economically disadvantageous for the average player but also involves psychological factors:

• Illusion of control: Many players mistakenly believe they can predict event outcomes and stay "in profit" over time, ignoring the mathematical advantage bookmakers have due to their margins.
• Desire to "win back": Losses provoke a desire to recover lost funds, leading to reckless bets and even greater losses.
• Addiction:. Gambling can turn into an addiction, causing financial and personal problems.

These and other aspects make sports betting a one-sided process where the interests of players and bookmakers rarely align. In this scenario, the only permanent beneficiary is the bookmaker.

Modern Alternatives and Their Drawbacks

 Cryptocurrency platforms and decentralized projects already offer new formats and approaches. However, their business logic remains the same—extracting profit from user actions. We have decided to take a different path…

Problems of Existing Digital (Crypto) Assets

Cryptocurrencies and blockchain allow for new forms of interaction based on decentralization, security, and transparency. However, not all projects meet these expectations:

• Meme tokens and speculation: Many digital assets have no real value and exist solely due to speculative interest.
• Lack of transparent connection to real value: Most tokens are issued without a clear link to any economic process or activity.
• Complexity of understanding: Newcomers often struggle with the variety of cryptocurrencies, technologies, and complex project mechanics, limiting their interest and engagement.

One of the key issues with many crypto projects—often existing for just a few days—is not only the lack of economic justification but also the overall distrust in the crypto industry due to past fraudulent schemes.

Community as a New Paradigm

Sports Events Club offers a model that connects the worlds of sports and digital assets: tokens and NFTs, creating value for these assets based on sports events.

Core Principles:

• Community-driven participation: There are no intermediaries—all values are created and distributed among the participants.
• Real token value: Tokens reflect the success of community members' sports predicts and are backed by royalties from NFT trades
• Accessibility and simplicity: Participation is easy, using familiar tools like Telegram and NFTs.

How It Works

Voting and Predictions.
Every day, sports events are selected based on priority—the most popular from several major sports—and are put to a vote in the community’s Telegram group.
Community members make collective predicts on sporting events through a voting (poll) mechanism. Once voting ends, matches are randomly assigned to pools (Match Pool), with one match per pool. Predicts consist of two voting stages:

1. Predict Market: Participants vote on the Predict Market for each match. For example:  

• Home Win | Draw | Away Win
• Total Goals Over/Under
• Individual Team Totals
• Corner Totals (in football)

  The Market with the most votes is chosen

2. Outcomes and Odds: Participants vote on a specific outcome within the chosen Predict Market. For example, if the market chosen was "Home Win | Draw | Away Win," the second vote will determine the predicted outcome:
  

• Home Win
• Draw
• Away Win

Based on the voting results, match quotes are formed — indicators of growth (in percentage terms) for each possible match outcome, which indicate how the pool rating will change depending on the event result (success of the predict).

The formula for calculating the quotes:  

Growth = (C - 1/P) * V  
Where:  
- V = Volatility factor  
-  C = Number of possible outcomes  
- P = Probability of the outcome (percentage of votes for the outcome).

Match Pools and NFTs

Each "match pool" is a conditional resource consisting of sports events included in the pool, whose results determine the pool rating. The pool rating increases or decreases depending on event outcomes.

Every "match pool" has its own NFT—a crypto asset functioning on the Polygon blockchain. This NFT grants access to the pool (and the group for new participants) and enables reward distribution. Holders of these NFTs are participants in the "match pool" and the community.

RP Tokenomics

RP Distribution:
- Match Pools: Based on their rating.
- Partner Pool: Based on its rating.
- Group Members: 10% of the total rating of all "match pools."

Example: If a "match pool" has a rating of 100 RP and 100 participants (NFT holders), each participant will receive 1 RP. The same applies to the "partner pool," where rewards are divided among all participants.

RP Utility and Backing

All NFT transactions on marketplaces generate royalties (2% of sales), which are periodically distributed among top RP holders. To qualify, a user must hold at least 0.1% of the total RP supply at the time of distribution.

RP essentially functions as an in-game point system, driving demand for NFTs. However, as a blockchain-based token, RP holders have full ownership and can sell, transfer, or burn their tokens. Additional community mechanisms can further increase RP’s value.

Conclusion

This model offers a transparent and straightforward community-based approach where members interact through a simple process, collectively creating value via sports predicts: "mined" RP through "match pools," earning rewards in the "partner pool," and more.

Access to the community is decentralized, granted through NFTs that can only be acquired from other members.

One of the core principles of this model is "fair play," eliminating the concept of margins, which are the cornerstone of traditional betting, casinos, and lotteries—serving as the main revenue stream for their creators. In Sports Events Club, there is no "third party," no margins, and none of the key disadvantages of traditional betting models. The only true beneficiary is the community member.

Join the Sports Events Club community, invite friends, predict and follow sports events, and earn rewards based on the community’s collective predictions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) - Sports Events Club

To better understand the concept discussed in this topic, I’m sharing an explanation in the form of frequently asked questions:

❓ What is Sports Events Club?

Sports Events Club is a community that brings together interest in sports events and crypto-assets. Participants can earn rewards in RP tokens for owning NFTs - participating in pools, as well as for activity in the Telegram group.

❓ How can I join the community?

There are three main categories of participants:

Match Pool Participants – Owners of an NFT associated with a specific pool.

Partner Pool Participants – Owners of a Partner Pool NFT who can contribute to generating royalties from NFT sales, particularly by inviting new participants who purchase community NFTs.

Telegram Group Participants – Active community members.

❓ What role do NFTs play in the community?

Each NFT serves as a pass to the community as a whole and to either the Match Pools or the Partner Pool specifically. Currently, there are 20 NFTs for Match Pools and one for the Partner Pool. The community uses NFTs based on the ERC-1155 standard, where each NFT for any Match Pool has 100 copies, meaning each Match Pool can have up to 100 participants. The Partner Pool NFT has 250 copies, allowing up to 250 participants in that pool. The number of NFT copies a participant owns in any pool represents their share in that pool.

❓ How do I join a "Match Pool"?

Simply purchase an NFT linked to a specific pool. After purchase, participation is entirely passive. If the NFT is sold, participation in the pool ends. All information about the pools is available in the Sports Events Club. Pools Telegram channel.

Optionally, a Match Pool participant can join the Telegram group, where voting, match discussions, and forecasts take place, influencing match odds – in some ways functioning as a bookmaker. Active participants earn reputation and can receive additional rewards.

❓ How do I join the "Partner Pool"?

Simply purchase an NFT linked to the "Partner Pool." Partner Pool participants earn RP based on the royalties generated from trading the NFT collection. This can be done by attracting new participants who buy NFTs or by actively trading NFTs themselves.

❓ How do I join the Telegram group?

Submit an application and register via the Sports Events Club Bot, linking your crypto wallet (e.g., MetaMask).
Your wallet must contain at least one NFT from the Sports Events Club collection.

During the early stages, you can also earn points by inviting new participants to register in the Sports Events Club Bot and gain access to the group. New users must register in the bot and enter your referral code, which you can obtain during your own registration in the bot.

❓ What are "Match Pools"?

Each Match Pool is an informational resource about specific sports events (matches) that community members have previously voted on, predicting the outcome of these events.
The results of these events determine the rating of their respective pools. If an event ends as predicted, the pool's rating increases (by a predetermined percentage based on the group's voting). Otherwise, the rating decreases.

❓ How can I earn in Sports Events Club?

There are three main ways:
Join a Match Pool – Earn RP monthly as passive income, depending on the pool's rating and, consequently, on the collective forecasts made by group participants.

Join the Partner Pool – Earn RP monthly from the royalties generated by NFT trading. To increase earnings, invite new participants who will purchase NFTs.

Be active in the Telegram group – Participate in voting, publish forecasts, analytics, and news to earn reputation and receive additional RP bonuses.

❓ What are RP tokens?

RP (Rating Points) are ERC-20 standard tokens on the Polygon blockchain. They are used as rewards within the community and can be bought, sold, or used to claim a share of royalties and other benefits.

❓ How are royalties from NFT sales distributed?
Royalties are distributed monthly to TOP RP holders – users who own the largest amount of RP tokens. The minimum requirement is 0.1% of the total RP supply at the time of distribution.

❓ Where can I buy NFTs?

NFTs can be purchased directly from other community members, so they may be available on different marketplaces such as OpenSea, Rarible, and OKX (WEB3). However, we recommend using the dedicated marketplace for the Sports Events Club collection at sec.x.rarible.com for purchases without additional fees.

❓ Can I avoid paying royalties when selling NFTs?

All 100% of royalties are allocated to TOP RP holders. Essentially, royalties provide value to the community through RP tokens. Avoiding royalty payments (2%) may result in exclusion from the community's reward system.

❓ What if I want to leave the project?

Sell, gift, or burn your NFT.
Leave the Telegram group and unsubscribe from the channels.

❓ Are there any risks of financial loss?

Participants own NFTs, whose value may fluctuate depending on demand.
RP and NFTs are crypto assets subject to volatility.
The security of assets remains the owner's responsibility.

❓ How does the partner program work?

There is no traditional referral program.
Instead, there is a Partner Pool, where participants earn RP for generating royalties, particularly through inviting new members or actively trading NFTs themselves.
Invited users can buy NFTs, increasing the pool's rating and boosting payouts for its participants.

❓ What if I have more questions?

There is a "Help" section in the Telegram group.
You can contact us via the Sports Events Club Bot.

I'm a little confused about the project. I understand that I need to buy the NFTs in order to participate.

Questions:

The more NFTs I own, the greater my share of the “prize”?
This “prize” is paid in RP tokens, correct?
Where can I buy the RP tokens?

Thank you for your questions! This discussion will help clarify the core idea more effectively.

Here are my answers to your questions:

The more NFTs I own, the greater my share of the “prize”?

Our collection uses ERC-1155 standard NFTs, which means each NFT has multiple copies (or editions). In other words, each NFT can have multiple owners. In our case, there are 100 copies per Match Pool NFT and 250 copies for the Partner Pool NFT, meaning the supply is limited.

Example: If you purchase 10 copies (out of 100) of a specific Match Pool NFT, you will own a 10% share in that particular Match Pool and will receive 10% of the total rewards allocated to that pool.

This “prize” is paid in RP tokens, correct?
Where can I buy the RP tokens?

I'll answer both of your questions at once since they are closely related.

All rewards in the community are paid out in RP tokens. RP is simply an in-game point system that serves as a reward for community members. However, from a technical perspective, it is a blockchain-based token, meaning that once received, it can be stored and used in a decentralized manner at the owner's discretion.

Initially, RP tokens are created and distributed only as rewards for community members. Once participants receive RP as a reward, they are free to use it however they choose—including selling it.

To answer your question simply: WE do not sell RP. It can only be purchased from other community members.

Okay, thanks for the explanations. I'll test the system as soon as possible. I found it very interesting.

You don't have a website, right? Only on Telegram? Do you have a Whitepaper or a more complete document explaining the tokenomics, total supply, team, for example (I don't know if this fits the type of project)? So as not to be too vague, to educate and generate interest in the community.

Yes, that's correct. At least at the initial stage, Telegram is the only platform used for information distribution.

Unfortunately, there is no traditional Whitepaper at the moment. However, there is a basic document called Rules and Terms, which outlines the mechanics of interaction within the community step by step.

The current goal is to convey the idea to the first followers (participants) and launch the project to test the mechanics in practice.
From a technical perspective, the project could launch as early as tomorrow, at least as an MVP. The main focus now is on organization and marketing—attracting the first interested users and distributing some NFTs via airdrops in exchange for small tasks, etc.

It’s somewhat like a group of friends getting together to play cards (or any other game) for money—they don’t have to pay anything to a third party, only what they’re actually betting, and all the money is distributed among them.
Essentially, I’m looking for such "friends" or Friends... And of course, this concept can be scaled.

However, during the interaction (after launch), participants will be able to develop their own strategies on how they can benefit from participation.
For example, participants who are skilled at promoting projects or who have an audience can join the Partner Pool—they can buy NFTs from this pool (or initially receive them for free via airdrop for completing tasks) and invite new participants who will purchase NFTs, generating "profit." This is just one aspect of interaction.

If you have specific questions, feel free to ask—I'll be happy to answer them!

Hi, friends!

In this post, I’ll outline key ways to engage and find interest as a member of our community.

1. ‘Mining’ RP passively through Match Pools
What’s needed? Join a desired Match Pool — get the corresponding NFT.
Reward: Monthly.

2. ‘Mining’ RP through Partner Pool
What’s needed? Join Partner Pool — acquire its NFT and invite new members. Newbies will buy community NFTs, boosting the pool’s rating and rewards for Partner Pool participants.
Reward: Monthly.

3. Being active in the Telegram group
What’s needed? Join the group and stay active: chat (on topic), write predictions, vote in polls (collective forecasts), etc., to earn reputation. Top users share RP rewards worth 9% of all Match Pools’ ratings (at distribution time).
Reward: Monthly.

4. Investing in NFTs from the community collection
What’s needed? Buy NFTs (especially early) and wait for growth alongside the community’s development.

5. Speculating with NFTs
What’s needed? Buy cheaper, sell higher
Each NFT is tied to its Match Pool (or Partner Pool). When participants make successful predictions, the Match Pool’s rating grows, increasing rewards for its members. Conversely, poor predictions lower the pool’s rating. This means when a Match Pool’s rating is low, you can buy its NFT and sell it when the rating rises.
With Partner Pool, you can grab an NFT (share), then invite new members. As they buy NFTs, the Partner Pool’s rating and rewards grow. When the rating and rewards are high enough, owners can sell their NFT at a higher price.
In cases described in this point (5), participants don’t necessarily rely on RP rewards.

Next post will cover the uses of RP tokens.

Friends, if this community model sparks your interest, please join the discussion here. I’ll try to answer all your questions.

Once we gather enough interested users, we’ll launch a small airdrop campaign, giving away some NFTs and then starting the project to showcase Sports Events Club mechanics in action.

Next post will cover the uses of RP tokens.

Community members can develop their own strategies for benefiting from participation, including how to manage their RP tokens. At the same time, there are three main suggested ways to use RP after receiving them:

1. Sell them on decentralized exchanges.

2. Use them in a game with the potential to multiply RP.

3. Accumulate RP to take part in royalty distribution from secondary sales of the community’s NFT collection.

Friends, join the Sports Events Club Telegram channel — once the channel gathers 30–50 participants, an airdrop campaign will be launched, during which a portion of the NFTs will be distributed. After that, the project will officially launch.
