I love the creativity of the community we have here and the projects that are spawning off from this platform. The latest project is a sports prediction app called @sportsteem. You can see their plan for this new app at https://steemit.com/sports/@sportsteem/announcing-sportsteem-know-the-game-grow-your-fame-pick-tracking-and-parlay-jackpots-kicking-off-nfl-week-1
There are a few aspects that drew my attention to this project. The first is that I love sports and keeping up with them. Whether it's through fantasy sports or just enjoying the games, it's something I love to keep up with.
Now to the fun part. The way they plan to keep track of the predictions and reward people has me very intrigued. I love the idea that they will be able to use the blockchain to keep the evidence of people's predictions in a public manner that can be verified by everyone. There's not a central authority telling you to "just trust us." If there's one thing I learned from the daily fantasy sites, it's that you can't trust everyone in those organizations to do the right thing. See the example of the guy who used the data no one had access to from DraftKings to win tons of money on FanDuel.
This app has scalability as well since it will be able to diversify across many different sports. This will make it a year round thing that can people engaged and active.
This project has a lot of promise and will definitely be keeping an eye on this one!

This should be interesting... I'm very interested to see this platform and Im very excited for football season too!
I hope, man there is no one on here that deals with sports.
Yeah, not like this anyway. They have little over a month to get a working product ready to roll out. Let's see what happens.
Don't sweat it! Thanks for the great post. Seeing that you guys totally see the need for this is fuel to the fire. Love the game initiative here... stay tuned!
Nice logo!
