Game Betting Interest

Apr 23rd 2023 By Franchise Ball

We wanted to reach out to the owner base and see how many would be interested in seeing the ability to bet on games, division league and world series winners (futures) or other generated prop bets with game currency. (NOT real money)

This is something teams have reached out to me about over the years but I haven't prioritized any long term development on it due to potential issues with possible distraction, general possibility it would turn people off to the game, addiction issues, or just plain disinterest.

But I wanna hear what you guys think.  Please leave comments below.  Thank you!

Also, update the stamina for pitchers. Their stamina should decrease less/more based off of how long an inning lasted, how many hits or walks they issued, etc.

He doesn't care, he's letting a kid ruin the integrity of the game by creating multiple teams

I remember a very good IG live we did at least a year and a half ago - great way to get people involved. I'm confident if you organized a Zoom call, Josh, even if only for a select number of us, we could outline some things we would like to see.

Being able to do things like means more than betting on the games.

This is just a thought on my part and i'm new to the game, But being able to trade multiple player to be able to get a stud player like an ace pitcher or to get a stud that hits 35 or 40 hr's a season. Or may trade a player plus cash.

Just a couple which come to mind: no pitching hold category; pitchers are pitching themselves into saves (not a real thing); no discernable correlation between contact rating and BA; no discernable correlation between pitcher control and K/BB ratio

Game still feels like in a beta bc of the missing categories
