If we are looking at their team, they are professionals and also string team. This is a basic good thing because they must have their research and then consider creating such things as new sportsbooks. However, how succeed or not will also depend on how interesting the sportsbook itself, secure, and also about the use case.
Players will be interested in the sportsbook if the game is really interesting, easy, high reward, security, and many others.
And about the Virtual sportsbook, today we are in online activities because of this pandemic. So, it may be a good time to introduce this game for the public

Since they are bringing out a new idea they might actually look towards crypto community because honestly speaking as much as I like the idea and the theme, I cannot really see much interest towards this type of gambling.
The idea wasn't new but some guy wants to bring it up and making big preparations for it.
A fantasy football which was also released this year failed on creating and establishing a good number of users and later on crashed.
Unique nonetheless and I might have misunderstood the concept too.

Do you think they will succeed or die like football index??
Well perhaps.Do you think they will succeed or die like football index??
Let me explain, building a stock market is somehow really expensive. Licenses and regulation requirements are too hard to achieve and take millions of millions of cash on top and under the table. Well, --if this happens, stock market shares would be 90% millennial and above. But perhaps, I would advise cryptocurrency-based- exchange, and then the companies listed are cryptocurrency-based E-Sports games as well. If that’s the case, perhaps everyone would move in. They had to make sure to consider the characteristics of the new generation. And associating two revolutionary industries means domination.
I was reading the news and I was surprised by the team and supporters that it already has, I believe that this project has everything to work, it just needs to be well managed.
This "market" is very receptive to the idea presented and I believe it should attract a lot of attention, I still don't understand how it will work, but I'm looking forward to seeing more news about it and being able to participate if it is really advantageous.
And I hope it doesn't have the same ending as the Football Index.

It's sounds really interesting! Are they targeting e-sports or real field based games? E-sports is already a huge market and highly competitive too. If they can do it in a correct way, possibly the platform will see success. But again, a lot depends on execution actually. Since it is a very new type of concept, they will have to select a market to test out the platform. Eventually it can be moved to other markets in future time. I will try to find more info about it because it sounds really interesting for a occasional gambler like me!
According to my own conclusion they are going to target real field based games this time. And actually e-sports exist even before. I guess the reason and inspiration behind it is because of the pandemic, they come up to do it in virtual coz it's not safe for people to go out. It's true e-sport really competitive and for sure a lot of gambler, traders and investor are excited for this because you able to buy and sell shares. I heard they accepting beta players that will serve to test the whole thing. Yes it's about real sports. "The new company will offer users the chance to buy and sell shares on American players and teams"
It's like fantasy football but with some real value added by stocks. I don't know how it's going to work and if it will, but if OP is asking whether this will succeed I'll say that you cannot succeed if you don't try. The owner has thought of something new but with roots in old games because fantasy betting has been here before.

Question, do they have options so that their platform can accept cryptocurrencies or do they have policies that would be friendly to cryptocurrency?
The platform (beta) is not yet live and there's no ETA when is the inception so information is limited for now. But I think there will be no integration of crypto during the first phase but surely it will be considered if there are tons of requests or suggestions by their community. I agree that adding crypto can attract, at least, a good number of crypto-gamblers lurking in crypto-sports betting for long.
So basically if I understand correctly we can bet on teams and buy their shares and based on how they perform we will get profits, like that? I mean for example I buy Lakers' (NBA) shares and they perform well during the season, then their share's price will jump, that is my understanding of how it will work. If that's the case though, it is not much different than betting on the outcome of the game itself or maybe call it tournament betting. Unique nonetheless and I might have misunderstood the concept too.

I just think that this is such a convoluted way of going about betting on a team.
If you are into this kind of stuff then I think fantasy leagues are probably more attractive to you anyway given the fast action and well established nature of the operations there. If you want to bet on real leagues, then I think most people still prefer the traditional sportsbook model where your payoffs are clear.
Where the value for these "stocks" derives from is very unclear at this stage, unlike a bet which is simply a liability that the sportsbook has to pay if a certain outcome is reached.

I think if they introduce cryptocurrencies and if accepted will surely increase their player base. Even though the idea is not new, the thing that got changed here is they will offer these so called "stocks" and it can be used as chips and you will be able to use it to gamble with all other players in the platform. I think it is a good idea to push this kind of platform.
I agree with you, any new platform that opens up in 2021 or later should include crypto currencies. BTCs are used already with many sites, but it would be nice if all the common alt coins could be accepted too. The more payment methods are accepted the more new members would sign up. And for a stock exchange to be effective it needs many traders. Without them there wouldn't be many bid and ask prices, creating a big spread and not being efficient.

Isn't this just basically funding a team (buying their share) then mostly if they have many wins you profit as well but not always a double of your profit?? That's what I can understand with both gambling with sports integrated with their "stocks". Also, I think it isn't really different with sports betting. I mean sports betting's profit is way higher (depending on the odds) than buying one's shares right? Lastly, there are already fan-based tokens like ACM. If they would only make it like that, then I guess it would be more onto trading than to betting.
I found this interesting as a sports enthusiast for almost 2 decades. Reading the article looks like the company was more dedicated, maybe to avoid the failure of the first same model Football Index that collapsed earlier this year.
Honestly, no idea how this sports-based stock market will look like or how's the stuff here.
Looking forward to this and I appreciated if OP will update the thread for the company's every new step.
Yes you read the title correctly! Paddy power, the son of David power is all set to make this come true ! This is actually very different and innovative at the same time.
You will be able to buy and sell shares of a team and sell them on the platform. Even gamble with them!
They already are accepting beta players to download and test the whole thing out !
Expected performance will have a huge importance and it will mainly target US players!
They are already going to partner with the US teams and get all in into advertising.
They aren't looking for big investors but they have recently started a crowd funding campain!!
Do you think they will succeed or die like football index??

This is basically a glorified slot or dice game, with lots of bells and whistles to give any players the illusion that they have some influence on future profits that they could make. We saw how "football index" was really just an elaborate ponzi scheme that collapsed at the slightest tremor. These sorts of games are actually dangerous, because they started throwing around stock market lingo like "shares" and "dividends" which is likely to give people a confused impression of it's legitimacy.
They are basically collecting cards but updated for the age of the internet and I don't know how anyone would get entertainment out of giving their money away for it. There are plenty of "fantasy league" type games that already have these elements but don't suck out your wallet. It's all based around algorithms designed to squeeze the most money for the house and give players the odd peanut back to keep them enticed. Personally I see more interesting news over at the LuckBox company - they are all about esports gaming and have plans to soon expand into bitcoin betting.
First time to hear such as this in existence. But I think when you've said to gamble its shares, I get the idea of gambling your stock that you've bought with their players and teams. But this seems to be an experiment and hope that this will click the taste of most gamblers.
I'll wait until this has been filled with those plans that they've said in the article. Like partnering with those teams and players and broadcasters.
And yeah, just like the thought of others, looking forward to the positive result of their initiative because it's quite new to me.

They are fully prepared so I think they will succeed in the long-run. Going all-in on advertisements will reach their target audience.
As long as they maintained good progress along the way, I think more people will soon be involved in that kind of money-making scheme.
Only time will tell. It will be a long and tough road.
^ I am just hoping that their platform would be cryptocurrency-friendly. As long as they would accept the payment methods via cryptocurrency, that would be the best option they would do. Probably, this idea has been there since before but the only thing that changed here is that they will be able to offer stocks that can be used as chips and gamble it with other players. Nevertheless, that is a very brilliant idea indeed, I am just thinking about what would be regulatory with this or if this will pass the government’s quality checks to be given a license.

This sounds interesting, I like fantasy leagues. But is this going to be with real money in USD or GBP, or just some artificial ingame currency? If this is based on real FIAT money that there could be a lot of problems, like how to make sure to minors are involved, and what about the proper licences to gamble in all major countries? If they secure enough money with their crowdfunding campaign it could already be a small hype. I would bet that many crowd funding investors are going to gamble on the new platform.

It might work this time as long as they have a concrete system and the regulations are not that strict. Innovations are always welcome, but gaining the trust form the public market is quiet not easy, they must work on this very well. Investing on stocks and use some of it for gambling might complicate things but once the investors understand how this thing works, they might invest more. Let's see if they'll succeed or not, and Personally I'll wait for them to accept cryptocurrency. 
Seems kinda interesting. So players would have a value attached to them based on their performances I assume? Why "Virtual" though? Price goes up and down depending on player performace and so, it's pretty much just like investing on them or something. As for gambling it, I'm assuming it's like a scenario where team vs team in a real match while players could gamble with their stocks as something like a pvp for the two of them (or more)? Basically, the money is replaced by the value of the stocks they hold?
Might keep myself updated, I want to know how this is going to be integrated in the long term.

How does it work though, I mean I know the stock market part but the virtual sports part is a little strange to me. I don't have my definite opinions on it but I am sure that we are going to see what's going to happen next in this thing. Also, will this be available for other players outside of US though and if not, will they be able to expand to global market?

Interesting idea.
I think this would fall under the category of a derivatives market.
It would essentially be a lighter and softer version of sports gambling.
Instead of losing 100% on a losing bet. Speculators might lose only 20% of their bet on a bad call and not be wiped out.
Losses would be significantly smaller. But the percentage gain on a winning bet would also be significantly smaller. Assuming there was no leverage involved.

Quite an innovative and fun way to reintroduce the stock market in a way that will entice regular sports fans into joining and investing, however I just wanna know how can they induce profitability in that system besides of course the gambling part of the spectrum. What are the parameters that Powers will set to make sure that each stock invested has the power to rise up and down depending on the economical value of each team?

IMO for this to be successful, they would need to partner with sports leagues and offer sports memorabilia, collectibles, merchandising and other exclusive prizes.
Successful sports gamblers and fantasy sports players have no need for this & would profit more outside of a sports derivatives market.
For this to succeed they might need to offer consumers exclusive things like sports collectibles they couldn't find somewhere else.
Or they would market this to whatever demographic is interested in sports gambling but wants a safety net attached.
I didn't get the part 'gamble with those shares'.
Buying and selling of team's shares can be digested but what about gambling with them? Is it on 1:1 ratio or a leveraged gambling? PvP or against the site only? What will happen if a gambler loses his shares due to bet loss? Whom will the shares be transferred to?
Where have you seen that users will be able to gamble their shares? They don't talk about that anywhere in the article, neither in their presentation video nor on their website https://asx.ai . I don't think it works like that, you have been mistaken IMO, otherwise feel free to share your (reliable) source with us. TYVM Buying and selling of team's shares can be digested but what about gambling with them? Is it on 1:1 ratio or a leveraged gambling? PvP or against the site only?

I really like the idea behind this but it’s got a way to go I think before I would be interested in being a consumer. The thought of picking a team and having it’s gambling performance act as a return on investment seems pretty amazing. I think there would be some difficulty involved with spreads and takes that might result in the long term value of all teams falling, but perhaps a market could prop up that profits from providing liquidity that could fuel teams’ return of value.

I think it could be a very interesting and amazing new way of gambling. So yes I think it can succeed. As far as I know Football Index has failed because the UK and Jersey Gambling Commissions have suspended its operating licenses, then it doesn't mean this business model doesn't work, it's just a matter of regulation and local law compliance. You will be able to buy and sell shares of a team and sell them on the platform. Even gamble with them!

To be honest, I am not familiar with this theme and will be glad to hear the opinions of other users:
1) Will the company offer CFD shared or regular stock shares?
2) Will they accept cryptocurrencies as a means of payment?
3) What about liquidity issues and manipulation?

they are not new in online betting business, so for sure he already done his own risk assessment for this new venture of his. but more then likely, this will be fiat-based first. nowadays, online betting is one of the industries that survive during this pandemic. so i guess, he will succeed on this business. for sure, he knows who to tap to gain interest from the gamblers out there
The business is getting into the market at the right occasion. This will help with making the business more progressive than going downwards. Right now almost half the world is under lockdown and majority work from home. However buying a teams share can be an investment for long term and not a profiting source for short term.
