RE: Steecky Thoughts #11: Steemit as a legal betting platform – a fun way to distribute SMD [6 min]
1- It's not meant to spam the front page. although once new features where you can filter or subscribe to different tags will be implemented it will not be a problem.
2- It should have like I wrote a dedicated whale or dolphin user to up vote and put some money in the pot. so no begging for up vote needed.
3- there is no way to limit those kind of posts under the betting tag for example but once one bookmaker will show good reputation of payments it can be limited to few bets a day not dozens.
and I don't follow your "play of the day" idea. you mean predictions ? if so it cab be parallel to the bets opened.
Yes, I was referring to the prediction aspect with play of the day. r/sportsbook has something similar. A lot of users have developed high reputations for handicapping games by posting their "play of the day" in a dedicated thread. People "tail" the high upvote high reputation folks and maybe make money for betting with them (off site, of course). Upvotes mean prestige there, but mean so much more than that here.
I was thinking of your idea in terms of limitations of what we have now, which is why I was thinking in terms of consolidating predictions to one thread. If subscribing to tags was implemented, I agree that would be better and work well for your proposal.
Because it's an open platform we can't limit the number of posts and spams. but in the end we won't see thousands of bookies but a select few.
