Live Betting on SportBet via TokenPocket
Sport Betting can be dated back to the earliest days of sports where individuals would wager on foods, cloths, gold, literally anything valuable with the hope of earning their initial wager alongside the opposite team’s own.
Over the years, Sport Betting has moved through different platforms and each case sticking with the current technological type for that Era, and this Era is no different.
Blockchain and Cryptocurrency can be referred to the two most advanced platforms currently available which holds different use case, some yet to be fully explored.
Sport Betting tallies with one of its use case called smart contract.
A smart contract is a computer protocol intended to digitally facilitate, verify, or enforce the negotiation or performance of a contract. Wikipedia
With this, individuals don’t need to be on ground to verify if an event is true or not, using different platforms already in place, smart contract automatically draws a conclusion and assign the right value to such event.
This tallies with the concept of Sport Betting.
SportBet
