During the just concluded world cup tournament, something crazy happened to a friend and I, before the start of the tournament on a popular sport betting site (name withheld) across west Africa, just before the start of the opening ceremony, we saw a bet option stating, total number of goals a certain individual would score throughout out the world cup, we were so happy about it that we took a risk on high profile players like eden hazard, lukaku, harry kane, christiano ronaldo inclusive,and the rest saying a minimum of 3 goals for each of them during this world cup, the first match was Spain against England and imagine the joy in our hearts when Ronaldo scored that dying minute free kick for Portugal to come level, with joy we went to check the bet placed hoping to see one of the options turned green, well our joy was cut short as it was yet to be updated, we were thinking ok, lets wait till the end of the world cup, after Harry kane scored twice against Tunisia we went online again to check the slip, only to realize that the bet has been cancelled without our prior knowledge and our staking amount returned to our wallets, this we would not take, but unfortunately we were left with nothing to do, no course of action, we couldn't take them to court, because our petition would be thrown out.
Well what am i trying to drive out here?, The betting/lottery/gaming industry is way too centralised and we investors have or are shying away from Doing something about it, come to think of a decentralized platform where the problems of
High fees
Limited betting amount
Delayed payouts
Complicated registration process
ETC
Are nothing to worry about, a platform where smart contracts are used to protect the interest of both players and owners as well as ensuring transparency among both parties
