Unikrn launches virtual eSports betting, AI-odds streamer betting

eSports betting operator Unikrn is using artificial intelligence (AI) to enable betting markets on a larger volume of live streamed matches while also adding virtual betting to its product line.

On Monday, Unikrn CEO Rahul Sood proudly announced his company’s new ‘streamer betting’ function, which will enable eSports bettors to wager on any ‘approved’ live streamer’s activity with real-time odds established through “game analytics, new AI trading bots & screen-analyzing technology.”

Sood noted that, unlike traditional sports, the volume of live-streamed eSports matches has virtually no upper limit, causing untold problems in setting odds on individual matches. Sood says Unikrn’s new technology is “five years ahead of any other bookmaker in this space, and lightyears ahead of what is possible in a traditional sports world.”

Sood told CoinDesk that he’d shown the new AI odds-system to some traditional bookmakers, whose “minds were blown,” according to Sood, who suggested there may be a decent B2B opportunity for his company to share their technology.

Live Tournament News: Hing Yaung Chow defeats Ben Lamb in Triton PLO debut

The first Pot-Limit Omaha event in Triton Poker Series history goes the way of Malaysia as Hing Yaung Chow defeats Ben Lamb heads up to bank the HKD 2,640,000 ($343,200) first prize. 

Ben Lamb is a former World Series of Poker (WSOP) Player of the Year with close to $10m in earnings. Back in 2011, when he earned the drapes that coat the insides of the Rio, he won his only bracelet – the $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha (PLO) Championship.

When the organisers of the Triton Poker Super High Roller placed PLO onto the schedule for the first time, Lamb was always going to be in it, and one of the favourites to win it.

Hing Yaung Chow, on the other hand, is not a former WSOP Player of the Year, he has never won a bracelet, and until right now, this minute, as you read this over your bowl of cornflakes you’ve likely never heard of the man, and that’s the beauty of this incredible series.
