My name is Duncan McIntyre, a Director of https://fansunite.com/. FansUnite is a sports social network with a sports betting slant. Current estimations, including both legal and illegal markets, suggest the sports betting industry is worth between $700 billion and $1 trillion per year. As the United States is in need of additional tax revenues, sports betting is suddenly in line to become a accepted and legalized practice. FansUnite aims to be a hub for avid sports fans and sports bettors alike, while providing transparent rankings and comparative data analysis of FansUnite member picks and recommendations.

FansUnite is a big data analytics platform disrupting the $1 trillion dollar annual online wagering sector. We process inputs from our 4,500 beta data providers and leverage a cloud based machine learning environment. Our users have made over 70,000 predictions with a 10% higher win rate then industry averages. FansUnite monetizes by providing real-time analytics to individual users through a SaaS portal, and B2B through a subscription based API.

We excitedly launched our new platform on October 2nd, 2014 to accommodate future growth in our offerings for FansUnite members.
