Is anybody working on a sports betting platform using Bitcoin, or does one already exist? Betting on games, fights, etc and cashing out with instant lightning payments would be neat.
Thoughts?

Predyx has some sports markets up and there are a couple other sites that allow for some betting with sats like freebitco.in and the ember app.

This existed back in the day it was called microbet.io
Never took off. Might be time to bring it back

Please give Predyx a try: https://beta.predyx.com/category/sports
It's matter of time, but we'll have all the major sports markets including weekend game nights.
If you're just looking for fixed-odds betting likes DraftKings on LN, we also run Triible, and cover all the major sports (its still very buggy): https://alpha.triible.com/
Long term plan for Triible is to offer fixed-odds betting based on Predyx Sports Markets.

Cool just ripped a microbet on predyx instead of trying to close my eyes to fall back asleep like a normal person. Thanks!

Georgia does not play Texas A&M today, they play Texas. Different team.

Sorry, our backend sports API sometimes gives us wrong data. That's why our plan is to use Predyx sports markets as a backend for Triible. It will be a while though.

I tried to buy NBA cup winner Houston but UX is confusing and when I click buy it's stuck loading forever on transaction.
Please optimize or open source and let's get this to professional level quality
I really hope you succeed

I'll take a look. I figured the odds of something like this existing would be fairly high by now. Awesome!

I only tend to bet on 3 sports. NFL, UFC & Boxing. Triible has NFL, so I'll most likely check it out for that alone. Any plans to add other sports in the future?

Yes, we'll be adding UFC & Boxing to Predyx along with other sports.
Also try out ~Stacker_sports there's lot of exciting sports pools run by real sports enthusiasts.
