Stocks.Bet

STOCKS.BET is the ultimate combination of betting, blockchain technology, cryptocurrencies and stocks. It is an Ethereum Smart Contract based DApp for betting on the price of listed stocks (like Apple, Microsoft and other) and win from everyone who bets against you. STOCKS.BET is an interesting tool for all traders who like to bet on the price movement of Stocks. Users bet with ETH on one of the listed stocks to have the highest gain in first minute of trade. All bets are placed in the blockchain, allowing users to see the total number of bets, the total bet amount for each stock, and the Payoff odds deriving from them. This allows users who follow the crowd to pick a winner easily. However, the Payoff-odds can also be used to bet on an underdog for very large wins. Compared to mainstream betting sites and centralized exchanges, STOCKS.BET holds many advantages as it does not require users to signup and deposit funds to an entity.

As the development is open source and the funds are secured by the Ethereum Smart contracts, STOCKS.BET enables a completely trustless peer-to-peer betting environment. The prices are pulled from AlphaVantage.co API using Oraclize and it is done in a way to avoid manipulation. With a user-friendly interface, STOCKS.BET is a groundbreaking platform and has the potential to attract a large set of the trading population in the crypto and stock exchange market.

This product unites the crypto and stock exchange market.

The platform’s tokens named STBT. They are issued to the crowdsale contributors. STBT token holders will earn all of the profits generated by STOCKS.BET directly in the form of ETH. STOCKS.BET profits are generated from the takeout, a small cut taken from the betting pool of all stock's rallies before paying out the winner. The current takeout rate is 5% which is minimal compared to the usual 15%-25% in standard betting.

At the end of each quarter, a smart contract will issue the dividends based on the proportion of STBT tokens held by a wallet during a particular time period. For example, a wallet holding 10% of the total STBT token supply will receive 10% of all the profits generated by STOCKS.BET. As the bets are always placed between the users and bankroll does not pay the winners, STOCKS.BET bankroll balance will always remain positive. As the platform gains popularity, STOCKS.BET will allow users to bet using STBT tokens which can unlock advanced features and enjoy a smaller takeout. STBT holders will be able to vote on takeout rate, game rules, and features.
