Some newcomers are pushing to make agents who can really place bets instead of simply providing advice, but the field is difficult. Tom Fleetham previously worked as a business development manager for a blockchain platform called Zilliqa who experienced an AI game agent called Ava, focused on the selection of winners in the horse race. “She had a good analysis of good results,” he says. “Where it became hard, he was trying to place bets.”
The company could not bring AVA to reliably place bets using cryptographic portfolios in a timely manner, says Fleethem. “It has gained an eternity,” says Fleetham. “We have abandoned.”
YouTube is flooded with tutorials on how to create and manage game agents that can place bets on behalf of humans. But again, these services do not seem to register new millionaires, even a thousand. Siraj Raval, a youtuber who publishes videos on how to earn money using AI, has promoted a parallel project called Waregpt on his channel. He claims that the tool is capable of placing betting, and it invoices people $ 199 a month for access. “Eight months ago, I implemented a functionality to leave the Watergpt bets place. Now, he does for full -time users,” said Raval. According to Raval, Waregpt scans more than 40 sports pounds and “locates all kinds of variables that humans cannot”. Ravel invited Wired to join a group of telegrams he said was full of people using Waregpt, but the channel was largely inactive, and most recent messages were questions about what’s going on with the service. “It’s completely dead,” says Pete Sanchez, one of the participants. “Gastre of money.”
As AI agents cannot control traditional bank accounts, most fully automated betting products focus on sports game websites and prediction markets that take cryptocurrency, as many agents can and use cryptographic portfolios. Coinbase agent is one of the largest public projects to allow AI agents to make all kinds of transactions on behalf of humans. He imagines a world in which agents can execute a certain number of financial transactions, the purchase of plane tickets to exchange the crypto and, yes, to place bets on sport. Lincoln Murr, AI product manager at Coinbase, says that many cases of use of the first at the agentkit “were of a speculative nature” and noted that he had seen nothing successful. “How really these agents are really profitable, I don’t know,” he says. The one to which he paid the most attention is called Sire. The project is described as “an agency designer fund for sports” and operates as a DAO. (In terms of crypto, DAO means a decentralized autonomous organization – a community belonging to members who use contracts based on blockchain). “These types of things are the direction we are directing,” explains Murr.
Sire (which was called Draftking before, but had to rename for legal reasons) is relaunching. Max Sebti, the CEO of his parent company, score, says that the company uses a combination of public and private data as well as “computer vision tech that looks at the games” for the most recent information possible to determine winning bets. The score business model is a complicated mixture of crypto and play. Finally, the company plans to allow anyone to transfer the USD to a portfolio, which will then be converted into a stablecoin. After that, the plan is that the agents of Sire AI pooled money with the payments of other customers and will place bets on decentralized sports books and the prediction markets that accept crypto, including polymarket. Then, said Sebti, the gentlemen will redistribute the gains to the community. Sept describes the initiative as “a very regular product and hedges”. Anyone can add money to a wallet, but to withdraw the gains, there are “performance costs” that must be paid to Sire – one that can be reduced if the customer buys the company’s crypto token. The service comes out of the beta version this month.
