Betting Platform @ Gong Bets

For my master's degree at USC's Iovine & Young Academy, my thesis project was a webapp that aggregated online betting odds, with a focus on e-sports betting.

Solving the Problem of Too Many Betting Platforms

At the time (2021), online sports betting was exploding. There were countless betting sites offering all different odds for any given sporting event. Gong Bets's solution was to create a platform that aggregated the odds across all the major bettings sites.

Aggregating Betting Odds

Gong Bets evolved over 1 year. We successfully were able to hook into APIs that gave us odds of all the major betting platforms. We went one step further, and started integrating live Twitch streams. The goal was to be the internet's favorite e-sports betting site.

The End

I delivered my thesis with a functioning MVP, and it was praised by my professors. A couple of them actually wanted to help me shop it to investors. Ultimately, after working on a betting platform for over a year, I just didn't feel good about it. I'm no saint, but there was just something that eventually felt so wrong about creating a gambling platform. I decided to not pursue any expansion of Gong Bets.
