The sports stock market. hoot.gg
Next steps for hoot:
- Run a script to fix some of the values that were messed up during a miscalculation
^this will be enough for a soft-launch

- run the script to add values to teams in other markets
- turn on other markets for trading
- build materials for marketing/tutorials for wide launch

Happy Just over 5 years since I registered the hoot website domain

Spotted something in my code that wasn't looking quite right. Dug around a bit this morning and found the problem, almost done working on the solution. Will have to test over the next few days to see how well that solution works or if I'll need to re-tool.

I am currently testing the auto-scorekeeping script for meatsport matches. Other things need to come together before being able to launch preds and bets, then even more before I can launch stock trading.

We're getting closer.

Measles high infection rate is the reason we have not yet been able to eradicate it. That rate means you need a very high vaccination rate to prevent outbreaks. It is possible, but not with current levels of institutional distrust.
The average person with the flu gives it to around 1.4 people. The average person with measles gives it to between 12 and 18 people.

Measles cases continue to surge globally, putting millions of children at risk.

More than 10 million people globally were infected with measles in 2023, a 20% increase from the previous year.

In the final steps to get meatsport match scoring automated. This is the last big functional hurdle to start turning on preds and bets for those sports.

Stock purchasing will come later. I'm also in the process of updating the site UI

Still around.
Busy building things.
More updates about the site coming soon.

For newer sports (aka markets) coming to hoot, I'll be adding most of them all at once. However, racing (F1, NASCAR, IRL, etc) will come later as it requires some more custom coded pieces that are currently not built.

I do honestly look forward to seeing how OW esports pans out in 2025. The suggested changes for 2025 look promising, but with OW esports the devil is ALWAYS in the details. They have a true knack for taking great ideas and finding ways to hamstring themselves for no discernible reason.
November 26, 2024 at 6:09 PM
Other sports that may be added to the market included cricket, tennis, golf, and mma. If I can find a good means of including these sports while also balancing them out then they're in.

An important distinction to make moving forward with hoot is that money is not and will never be required to use and enjoy hoot.

That being said, I am in the process of ironing out the best ways to add the ability for people to financially support hoot to help keep it going w/o going pay to win.

Phase 1 of integrating meatsports into the site is almost done. P1's sole focus is getting current matches into the database.

Phase 2's focus will be on backfilling old matches. Once that's done then the markets for the various meatsports will be live for trading.

No OWCS market on hoot. The scene is way too volatile with the current format to have a lasting, maintainable market.

Preds/bets may eventually occur but with how fluid things are with teams+rosters it makes doing anything OWCS related very iffy.
March 13, 2024 at 12:08 PM
There's a lot to be said about OWCS and, frankly, I'm unsure if I'll even attempt to add a market for it on hoot. Between the extremely high number of teams per region, and lack of an api that I can find at the moment adding it in would be an overwhelming undertaking for minimal gain.
February 7, 2024 at 2:51 AM
While an exact timeline is still incredibly fluid, a plan is in place to add multiple markets to the site. As the holidays wind down and life returns to somewhat normalcy we'll just have to see how quickly these other markets can be added.
