I’m not sure that the casual bet with your friend is ever gonna be placed on a site that takes 10%, but it does open up the market for small bets in offices, or on niche events or events that are prerecorded so refused coverage by bookmakers (the apprentice)

There is a quiet corner of the dot com graveyard full of social/friends betting startups.

If the attraction is betting, do what flutter did and focus on real punters. If the main draw is not about betting for financial reward then they stand a good chance.

Wishing them the best of luck…

This would make twitter friends argue even more.

Betable is the first place where you can bet with friends, family, colleagues and others on anything that interests you. With thousands of bets to choose from in our betting marketplace and the ability to create your own bets, you’ll never run out of exciting things to bet on. What’s more, Betable lets you invite your friends and the greater betting community to bet with you so you can share the excitement and have some friendly competition. [...]

Actually the Betable concept was something Flutter had planned to do at launch but then we retreated from it after some market testing and customer feedback. On Flutter you could bet with friends but only on markets created by administrators. These were the more traditional betting markets of sports, entertainment, politics and other categories.

Even then, 95% plus of the action was on sports and racing. Within 12 months of launch we junked the p2p betting concept and turned the site into a betting exchange. Six months later we merged with Betfair.

I want quick answers like how do i get paid, and when do i get paid after the bet expires. how do i avoid getting scammed. I want to know all these in 3 sentances not reading through what looks like Apple’s EULA.

You will need to control those pots to be exclusive to you.
