Quick Social Betting Overview
A Social Betting Marketplace is an online platform where bettors connect directly with each other to buy and sell betting positions. BettorEdge combines this peer-to-peer marketplace with social features to create a community-focused betting experience.
Detailed Social Betting Explanation
Marketplace Betting vs Traditional Betting
| Social Betting Marketplace Model | Traditional Sportsbook Model | |
| Lines/Odds | Set by community, can fluctuate with demand | Sportsbook created & controlled. |
| Vig | No vig, resulting in higher potential win values for bettors. | House always maintains an edge/vig for every bet. |
| How bets work | Bettors are matched with others who want the opposite outcome. | Bettors compete against the house, not each other. |
| Pricing transparency | Pricing is determined by bettors. | Pricing is set by sportsbooks with no transparency. |
| Social Interaction | Wide variety of social tools and features (competitions, social features & more). | Very limited social interaction between bettors. |
