We did a Euro 2012 thread pool. Which @ThaPrez won.
There are 2 reasons why not to bring money involved. A) Do you really trust to give money to some Internet random to hold for 10 months? B) Something could happen to the bursar for whatever reason and the moneys gone and then people got questions.
Oh I deff know these would be the top 2 reasons, but with the rise of smart contracts you’d think some developer would have developed an app for that.
Ex: 10 players put up $/€/£ 100 into a pool. Then each player is given an ID that they tie to their FPL acct.
An algorithm would be programmed to release funds to a specific ID under certain conditions. So for the 2022 season, you write a script to scrape the FPL site for the FPL name with the highest point total after a certain period of time, then match the FPL name to the ID. The algorithm would recognize the match then release the funds to the respective account.
Whole point of digital autonomous organizations (DAO). This is a good use case here. Just a thought
