🏈8.0 Sports data Feeds

Winc is dependent on the Oracle masternodes to successfully report real match data correctly to allow for bets to be posted and resolved correctly. There are multiple ways the Oracle Masternodes can gather sports fee information. No matter where the source of information is coming from the requirement of the oracles is to format the data correctly to ensure the post can fall in consensus with the other Oracle Masternodes on the network. ● Sport betting API’s (mostly paid services) ● Sport Site scrapes (espn,yahoo,etc) ● Manual entry Sport betting API’s are the easiest and most consistent way to ensure that each Oracle Masternode reports as accurately as possible and participates in reinforcing the network. Sport site scrapes are the most complex way for Oracle Masternodes to collect data. They require the most work but also are the cheapest method. This requires a script to pull data off of news sites such as Yahoo, ESPN, and CBS Sports. Manual entry allows the users to directly insert outcomes of unique events. If the operators watch the game or just want to input the day’s data themselves they can do so manually through the RPC and virtual interface. To ensure not all oracles are pulling data from the same source, Winc requires the oracle to report to the network its data source, and, if necessary, the network will force a limit on each source.
