Show HN: Bet on Auction Results with PolyBets

3 points| h100ker | 3 months ago |polybets.fun

Ten days ago, I challenged my buddies and myself, all devoted car enthusiasts, to build something. We often argue over BaT/C&B/RM Sothebys auction results, so I thought, why not create a platform where we can put our money where our mouths are? In just 10 days, I finished the project and I’m calling it PolyBets.fun, where anyone can create a speculation market with just a link.

Lmk what you all think! I don't want to hear the legalities; I've already addressed everything in the terms of service. Use at your own risk (I am not responsible if you don't read the ToS or understand how it works).

interesting so it's a crypto project. What's the blocker to accepting credit cards?

If you win a market, it's much easier to send the money to your crypto wallet on-chain. Similarly, if you tie a market, it's easier to initiate a refund to both sides as well. With Apple Pay, it's not that simple, and dealing with USD instead of USDC is a regulatory nightmare.
