Ues but dude. These are not real horses and riders. What you saying is that each horse and rider will habe different stats that makes one better then another but what about if people figure out which horse to pick. 9/10 is 90% If you bet the same amount every time you will make so much money. You would make 1000% - 100% if the payout was 2:1 .

Some races are harder to pick the winner to then others .Obviously i not going to run the races where it easy to picked the winner .It going to be tricky  handicaps are close races where u have to really do your home work to have any edge if any

Having trouble with the live upload there always something.I guest i just have to pre record and then upload in future .

Here is the website http://altcoinhorseraceing.com/wp .Nothing up there just goign to mess around with it in my spare time .If you guys what something like a exchange poker any other games let me know

horse racing is something interesting because its almost the same with sports betting that we should have many good info about the team, in this situations, we should get many info about each horse so we can choose the horse to place a bet. i think as long as we have a good info, then we can predict with right although this is not guarantee for us to win, at least the chance for us is more than 50% to win.

because it is just like an ordinary gambling, there is no way to guess whether the horse is going to win or not, it is like dice with the house edge, we cannot do anything about it to beat it.

Why horses, make it something more interesting.. dogs, rabbits or virtual pigeons.   We have the same thing, over and over again and it's

getting boring. You will also not attract any traffic if you cannot show proof that it is provably fair and that would be your biggest challenge.

I have a friend that does this for a living, and he says knowing the jockeys and the whole pedigree of the different horses makes it more

interesting for him. He is not gambling when he is betting on these horses, but rather applying his knowledge and experience. { according to

him }

I can't find something fair or easier to predict the result so horse racing doesn't interest me at all
It's just like you're playing gambling site with high odds with low chance of winning

Yes yobit does really have this game and that horse racing is very basic regarding on the graphics that have been used but still its a hit and been played by most users of yobit site.You are right this thing should really be pursue since it would be a big hit when people finds out about the fairness of each race or to the horses itself.

The only place I know thst does this is yobit and they habe a massive player base since they an exchange. I still think you should pursue this as it is something s little different from most gambling/betting sites. You will habe to prove thst the code for the virtual horses cannot be manipulated though. Also its not like real horse racing where some horses you know will do well because of their past race history. I dont think it would work with virtual horse racing as they would need AI. But if its always random then its ok.

I hate virtual horse racing, I used to have a few bets at fiat bookies when I was placing soccer parlay's. I think I only ever won about twice.

I think horse betting is unique Gambling type so they will still interest some gambler, but IMO they have less interest as they have high odds ( it's difficult to win as the winner is unpredictable

I'm ever bet on sport betting and the result is lose although my odds was 1,95x

Yes you are right pony race yobit have is probably fair because it can be verified.

@OP i don't think your idea is interesting because people don't like to bet on digital horse racing which is streamed by some random guy and they even can't know the source of that video.

I don't mean to derail the thread but I think yobit's pony race isn't rigged because they show proof and calculations of how fast each pony are going during the race.

The video that op shared looks like the same with sportsbet's virtual horse race.

While the idea of virtual horse racing is good, but at the same time, I don't think this rather niche game will become popular enough to generate any revenue for the house.
If you really have access to graphical engine showed in the video, then maybe it will be redeeming factor and key to popularity of your game.
Because I've seen before some virtual horse racing attempts, and graphically they were worse than SNES era games.

This could be tricky, well if you had a good program skill, I think this kind of betting was great I mean horse betting was OK I use to watch horse race but don't have the interest in betting back then but I think I'll make a go if I could see that virtual horse is really fair, I have seen your pictures name of the horses and their trainer was put on it and the odds that the chance of a horse could win and with the physical condition of the it, and by putting list of tipster was a great idea, well will be waiting for this.

How can we able to know the provably fair on each horses that we would able to bet and how can we ensure that theres no any manipulation on each bet this thing would i like to know and seeing on the video its really great to see with those graphics it does really caught interest of the public.

no gambling site up yet but it thinking about it   .The horse racing will be easy enough to set up and i will focus on that maybe I can also have people bet on virtual mma fights that will be easy to set up also .I have no benefit personally on who wins the race( unless of course i rigged it which i wont do) . Again any of then virtual casino can be rigged and so could this .I cant see how i can prove i am not rigging it .That seems the big sticky point which is a good point i would like to know the games i betting on are fair and not rigged .I think maybe i can run the same race 10 times on here and they should be different horses winning not the same one over and over.If i am running it live and showing the result live it going to be very hard for me to rigged things to a 100% outcome .

Well i cant give out the algorithm i not the programmer are good with programming  .Like real races the jockey the course it self some horse preform better on different courses the going how the horse is on the day .The total  ability of the horse ,How the race is run .And also a random element all play there part .


I guessing people can either bet with the exchange/tote pool  are the odds showed  two options . good idea bud .


Again thanks everybody for there input .I might just try it for fun and see what happens.

The idea looks amazing and I love these horses you've shown in the video. It looks very perspective to me but I totally agree with what people above said that it is extremely important for a game to be provably fair and for us to be able to see that. Otherwise nobody would trust the game and think of it as of something worth trying. So, if you are planning to make the game fair and not to scam - lots of luck to you with this idea. And somebody said that yobit made such a thing already.. I guess you have to take care about intellectual property rights then.
