fcoach (beta fcoach.net): fcoach solves the problem of betting on sports. the world market of sport betting for 2012 is estimated at 250 million users and 20 billion usD in revenue, growing at 10% per year. the pain: bettors have to search for information in 3 different types of sites: - sports news sites - sites focused on statistics - bookmakers or sites indicating which bookmarker pays the most. unsolved problems: - time: it takes between 20 and 30 minutes for every bettor to analyze the 3 previous points - real return is uncertain: most bookmarkers does not include transaction costs or housing costs - timing: bookmarkers does not indicate trends for the bettor to optimize which is the optimum time for investment. latam is even worse: - no site indicates which bookmarker pays the most (for a particular game). - there are almost no sites in native spanish / portuguese. - most sports on the region are not covered by sites that optimize the bet ratios, so the effort for people willing to bet is even worst. fcoach would be the bloomberg of sports, adding sports information game, showing ratios and trends of all betting sites, indicating witch bookmarker maximizes profitability minute by minute. today we collected soccer data from mexico, argentina and spain in 20 houses. in the next 2 months fcoach is going to include an alarm system, integration with facebook and trend graphs. in the following 2 months fcoach adds 5 sports and 30 new bookmarkers. in the next 6 months will include gamification techniques, a mobile application, social gambling, artificial intelligence and arbitrage betting. additionally we can incorporate fantasy leagues. income: based on leads to bookmakers and premium subscriptions for those who want more information.
