TradeSports
TradeSports was an online platform where users could buy and sell contracts based on the outcomes of sporting events, effectively functioning as a form of sports betting exchange. Participants traded bets as financial assets, allowing for speculative trading on things like game results or player performances, often with the ability to hedge or offset positions. The platform provided a real-time marketplace with prices reflecting collective expectations, making sports betting more dynamic and interactive. TradeSports operated until 2008, when it was acquired by Activision Blizzard and subsequently integrated into other betting services.
