    Alright...

    I need opinions. Here we go...

    I created a sports betting platform that involves parlays 10 years ago. It's essential a gamble within a gamble. A perfectly hedged system that allows for crazy payouts and has insurance in case certain outcomes fail. It's called Against The Odds.

    At the end of the day, I need to find the BEST way to monetize it. I have four ideas.

    - Create a sports betting app.
    - License it to a sports book
    - Outright sell it to the highest bidder.
    - Hire a sports handicapper and wager myself

    Here's my obstacles.

    If I create a sports betting app, I'm afraid that someone will figure out the system and make it available to the public. Once that happens, the downloads stop.

    If I sell it to sports book as a "new experience" for either whales or regular Joe's how do they profit? The could double down on parlays overseas to minimize loss or they could offer better odds if the system is played there. Would they even be interested?

    I could sell it to the highest bidder, but I would need to show the potential. I have multiple wins that prove it's capabilities. The problem is no one will even look at it. I've talked to Mike Levy and he backed out. I've talked to Steve Fezzik and he's not interested. Steve Stevens at VIP sports won't talk to me. I ask them to sign an NDA and the interest stops. I understand the connotation with parlays (sucker bets) but my system is legit and super exciting to play.

    I could keep using the system myself but I'm afraid sports books will shut it down and not allow me to play parlays and I have to keep paying handicappers which at the best will hit less than 50% of the time...maybe. And I live in Houston so it's illegal.

    What do I do?

    Also add Crypto, including NFTs, meme coins and shitcoins and then market to degens and incels. Lock liquidity in the DAO and pay influencers to shill to rubes and plebs. Talk to SBF and put it out on hot social media platforms like X and MySpace. Move to Belize and hire an army with your new monies. Give yourself a badass name like CHAINzaWxx and take over the country, then more profit from your new banana republic.

    The app needs to just be a client to a server that runs the real code. Then your main concern is being hacked, not someone somehow reverse engineering the code from the app. Of course, once your method is out there for scrutiny someone may just figure it out, as you said.

    I think you keep playing the method and post your wins on Twitter anonymously to document. No one has to follow that account, you just have it as a timeline for when someone wants to see results.

    Can you patent the technique/platform?

    It's copywritten. Originally had it in Excel and went to Python. I'm going to keep playing it, post on Twitter and try to sell to a whale. Maybe Mattress Mac might be interested lol

    I don't get the appeal/utility. Every betting site offers parlays. What am I missing?

    It's a system that uses multiple parlays that feed off each other, like a round robin 2.0

    So like, a parlay within a parlay? Parlay-ception? Gigantic payouts but odds insanely low? Going for the lotto players?

    sounds like a combination of hedging over and over

    A system that allows people to bet on things that happened 10 years ago sounds like a winner.
