Features
WinTheTrophy is a free and legal sports betting competition that combines three of the web's hottest trends — social gaming, crowdsourcing and fantasy sports — into one seamless, fun experience.
- Compete for trophies & prizes — Each week you receive 1,000 chips (fantasy cash) to wager on all major U.S. sports using odds determined from an across-sportsbook consensus. Over the course of seven days, you compete against other bettors to accumulate the most chips in 28 different Leaderboard Categories. Finish 1st in any of these Categories and receive a shiny virtual trophy that's displayed in your virtual Trophy Case for the entire world to see and covet.
- Earn cash selling picks — Prove your superior sports betting intelligence in one of our 100+ Genius Categories and earn the coveted Genius status. As a Genius, you will be recognized as one of the world’s top sports pickers and get paid real cash just for being smarter than everyone else — 40% of all sales proceeds generated from our Genius Picks service is paid out to you and your fellow Geniuses. (Genius Picks will be available for purchase shortly.)
- Get sports pick'em advice — Get the best and most credible sports pick‘em advice anywhere via our patent-rights pending Genius Picks service. This service is powered by our innovative system for continuously measuring the site's top pickers in over 100 different sports betting intelligence Categories. When over 65% of these expert pickers — called Geniuses — make the same, independent pick, it becomes available for you to purchase. (Genius Picks will be available for purchase shortly.)
- Track personal betting stats — Identify your betting strengths and weaknesses, analyze personal betting trends and test new betting strategies — all without going broke!
- Create automated betting programs — Think you're an algorithmic sports betting genius? Our first-of-a-kind, open API service allows you to develop software programs called BetBots that place bets automatically while you're reading Hacker News.
- Learn how sports betting works — Not a sportsbookie? No problem. We translate the cryptic language of sports wagering into simple-to-understand terms. If you're an experienced sports bettor, you can select the familiar numeric format option and see real odds in near real-time.
- Socialize with and compete against friends — Add, recruit and socialize with friends on the site. By clicking on one of your friend's profile, you can compare Trophy Cases to see who has the most-admirable collection of trophies.
- Earn virtual currency — Once you logon and start using the site, you earn virtual currency units called Points for performing actions such as recruiting a friend, placing a bet or leaving a comment. You can exchange accumulated Points for virtual and real-world goods at the Store.
