No worries on it seeming like spam, it's definitely interesting to me either way (it's not like "nice poast resteemit done" type of spam hehe), so it didn't annoy me or anything, was fun to look at..
just felt the need to say my thoughts if it's here in my blog's comments.
The point, that everything is transparent and documentated in the blockchain changes many things. It's sure that I would be still able to scam people but everyone would instantly see it and my project would be dead.
hmmmm. I mean if I send a bank wire or BTC or anything to a conventional sports book, there are records of this.
I guess you're saying where it's different is the actual bet itself is recorded on the blockchain?
But meh, I don't think "what if they edit the bets I've made" is a concern or worry when you use a sports book. (Enough people would have records and screen shots to be able to quickly show what they're doing.) If you worried about that, you'd just worry about them running off with the money. They would do other things (like pretend their wallet needs updating, "please be patient") rather than edit user bets.
The important thing is that in both cases the money is centrally held, and you're trusting the website operator to pay you.
If your intentions are good, I say carry on and ignore me! lol. Obviously I have no way to know your intentions, but I do disagree that there's a meaningful "blockchain" aspect here.
Appreciate your clarification and wish you the best.
