When we set out to create a decentralized P2P betting exchange, it was very tempting to fund via ICO. Now that we think of it, we might be crazy for not doing an ICO. Why wouldn’t we? We have the talent, experience, and contacts. And it certainly would’ve been nice to have an eight figure budget.

But in our opinion, the world doesn’t need another gambling whitepaper or niche alt-coin.

Once we decided to plug into an existing blockchain, we searched for a platform that integrates everything we would need: smart contracts, fast confirmations, micro fees, on chain oracles, a great wallet, and an all-star development team. To our surprise, we didn’t find a blockchain at all. We found the Byteball platform. Utilising a totally new consensus algorithm and Directed Acyclic Graph, Byteball supports block-less and miner-less cryptocurrencies (and security tokens).

The Byteball platform is advancing, maturing, and evolving. It is simple and intuitive, just like we’ve designed our platform.

With this, we are excited to announce Tradetheodds.io!!!

TTO’s mission is to disrupt the traditional sports book and prediction markets model using Byteball’s GBYTE cryptocurrency. We are a decentralized peer to peer betting exchange powered by smart contracts and distributed ledger technology. We aren’t an odds maker, we don’t take customer deposits, and there is no house edge. You set your own odds and control your own funds.

Our goal is to release the alpha in time for the World Cup. In July we will list money line and spread betting (even odds) for NBA, MLB, NFL, and NHL games. All with no fees or commissions.

In the coming months we are excited to share our plans for the integration of global sports, e-sports, crypto products, and daily fantasy. As well as efforts to partner with liquidity providers.
