and we will use a escrow who holds funds, will be fun I believe
I'll tell you why your skype + escrow plan wouldn't work out,
The types of bets you could have on cricket ranges from -> Toss - First Ball Score - First over Score -First over Wicket ->Man of the Match and everything in between.
The escrow you guys would be using should be equally interested about cricket sports betting that is a bookie in real life.If both players agree on a trade and the results are exactly opposite to the predicted events,where does the money go.
Ex : Player one bets -> First Over score = Above 10
Player Two bets -> First Over Score = Above 5
Result -> First Over Score = 0
No one won the bet.Does this mean escrow gets to keep all the funds ?
Escrow can't keep all the funds but he should take all his fees and return to the people. This is the issue with this kind of betting each time need to pay escrow fee and also transaction fee whether you win your bet or lose or no results. This kind of betting will not be lost for long.
