WinOptionGame - online game for traders

In its current form, this game has one significant issue – an imbalance in pool bets. The second screenshot in the article shows that the total amount in the buy pool is $85, while the sell pool only has $50. It’s easy to calculate that those in the larger pool will, at best, earn 59% of their original bet. For example, let’s look at the first player. Their share of the buy pool is 6% ($5/$85*100), so their potential winnings would be: 0.06 * 50 = $2.94, which is 2.94/5*100 = 59%. As far as I recall, the average minimum payout with most brokers is around 75%. Not very profitable, right? On the other hand, if the sell pool wins, its players will receive a 170% payout on their bets. Let’s take the first player again. Their share of the sell pool is 25/50*100 = 50%, meaning their potential profit would be: 0.5 * 85 = $42.50, or 42.50/25*100 = 170%. In my opinion, this is a wildly imbalanced deal, don’t you think? One side places a bet with a possible 59% payout, while the other side stands to gain 170%! And this discrepancy will grow as the difference between the total amounts in the buy and sell pools increases. For instance, with a ratio of $100 versus $50, the payout would already be 50% versus 200%, and so on. It doesn’t seem very appealing to bet on a 50% payout when your opponent could take home 200% if they win, right? The only solution is to balance the bets on both sides. Otherwise, even mathematically, it becomes unappealing.

James Williams, That’s the whole point of the game – to profit from the imbalance. At some point, you can catch a 900% payout if everyone is betting on the trend in one pool, while you bet against it. Essentially, you’re supposed to be the opponent who takes the bigger payout.

Вячеслав, The imbalance makes this game unappealing because players, when placing bets, don't know how the money will be distributed in the pools beforehand. This means they can't predict the payout percentage under which their bet will fall. It's like a binary options broker offering trades unquestioningly without indicating the payout percentage for the deal. Moreover, this approach benefits neither the players nor the game owners. It forces players to place small bets to avoid creating an imbalance against themselves. If you put a large bet in one go, your payout will drop sharply because your pool will exceed the opponents'. What's the point of that? A player can't make a significant profit because small bets are necessary, and the owners can't earn much either since small bets generate small commissions. So, who benefits from this? The game should encourage larger bets—that's where the excitement is, not vice versa. Who would place large bets with only a 20-30% payout when brokers offer 95% payouts?

The direct competition with other traders is definitely a fresh take. But does anyone know if the platform offers any tools or indicators to help analyze the market, or is it all on you to predict the moves?

Наверняка будут присутствовать и другие активы. Эфир, Солана, БНБ.

Артур, уверен что да, причем не только курс крипты, но и курсы валютных пар, сырьевых товаров и других активов. Возможно даже в отдаленном будущем можно будет даже использовать простенькие индикаторы или какие-то другие торговые инструменты)) По крайней мере идея неплохая на мой взгляд)

It's all theoretically very interesting and described reliably, but it's just text. I need facts and evidence. It would be great if the developers of the game recorded a video review of this game, which answered all the questions that arise, as well as clearly show how to connect the wallet, how to bet, how to withdraw your money. This is very important, it causes trust.

А здесь нужно угадать только курс биткоина? А можно ли выбирать другие активы для прогнозов? Например те же валютные пары хотя бы. Если еще нет, то было бы крайне полезно добавить разнообразие)

Руслан, пока только так. Надо понимать, что проект все еще находится в стадии развития, поэтому будем надеяться, что со временем все появится) Было бы еще неплохо выбирать разные таймфреймы (периоды для прогнозирования) ну и экспирацию тоже чтобы подвезли))

What about liquidity? If there are fewer traders in a pool, does it limit the potential payouts? I’d love to hear from anyone who's been playing for a while on how this actually works in practice.

Mister X, Everything is OK with liquidity. The more money there is in the opposite pool, the bigger your winnings will be

Вячеслав, How can it be okay if you say that the size of my profit depends on the opposite side? So, I can't place as much as I want. Where's the liquidity? Moreover, if no one wants to bet on selling in a rising market, there won't be any trades at all. Who will sell to the buyers if there's no market maker? When you make a deal through a broker, they handle that. But here, who does it?

Crazy Wallet, What does that have to do with it? Basically, you’re just splitting into two teams: one thinks Bitcoin will rise, the other thinks it will fall, and whoever guesses right takes ALL the money from the other side

Вячеслав, This is directly relevant to the matter. What do you mean by just dividing into teams? It depends on the participants' preferences. Or are they forcibly divided into commands by the algorithm? What if everyone wants to be on the SAME TEAM betting on Bitcoin's growth and NO ONE wants to bet on its decline? Who will take the other side of those trades? And where is the liquidity if the bet size is limited by the opposite pool's amount? You can't place a bet larger than what the opposing side has. You’ll be constrained by that amount. If there’s only $50 there, you can't bet more, yet you say there's liquidity. Where is it? Liquidity means that I can bet $10, $100, or even $1,000,000 at any moment. Does that exist here?

No brokers? Heck yes! This feels way more legit and straight-up. It’s all about the game and our skills, not some shady middleman trying to profit off us!

Serg, That's just your perception. Someone created this platform, and not without reason. The developers, just like the broker, make money from commissions. Otherwise, this project would be unprofitable and of no interest to anyone. Everything in this world revolves around money. Whether these guys take a big or small commission is another matter, but they take one. So, I don't see much difference from a broker.

James Williams, Fair point, I get what you're saying. Of course, the platform takes a commission — no one's doing this for free. But the key difference for me is that it's not a broker pulling strings on the trades themselves. It feels more transparent when you're just up against other traders, and not wondering if someone's tweaking the odds behind the scenes.

Serg, Why do you speak so confidently about only trading against other traders? How do you know this for sure? And what happens if no one wants to sell in a rising market? Who will take on the role of the market maker then? In that case, there wouldn’t be any trades. Everyone would be buying, but who would they be buying from? Please, explain.

Crazy Wallet, Great question! In this setup, if there aren't enough traders on one side of the market, the system could face liquidity issues, like you said. However, from what I understand, the platform might rely on a kind of 'pool' system where the bets of those predicting price movements are matched against each other. In extreme cases, there could be fewer trades if the market is too one-sided. That's why high activity from other traders is key to keeping things moving. It would be interesting to know if they have any backup mechanisms in place for such situations, like temporary market makers or something similar. It'd be interesting to get more clarity on this from the devs.

Концепция игры явно поинтереснее того же расхайпленного хомяка. Здесь хотя бы присутствует какая-никакая, но аналитика, азарт и возможность игры в команде против другой команды, в отличии от тупой и примитивной тапалки. Я уже молчу о рейтинге и подробной статистике игроков.

Руслан, Так в хомяке не надо думать, купил вибромассажер и работаешь по экрану. А тут хоть немного но включаешь голову.

tirant, ахахаха с вибрамассажором это гениально))) жаль в этой игре не придумать подобных хитрых лайфхаков, по крайней мере пока)) тут уж конечно разрабы оказались предусмотрительнее на этот счет, но я все же дума это вопрос времени))
