Pitching a 'Read to Bet' Gambling App
granawkins · x · 2026-07-15
A user pitched a quirky idea for a gambling app where you must "read to bet."
The concept involves releasing one chapter of a book daily. Participants can bet on the ending based on the chapter's content, and market odds fluctuate as the story progresses. Citing data that Americans bet more than they read, the referenced post uses this absurd yet satirical product idea to make a point.
