Does anyone else think there might be an audience for decentralized baduk/go betting on tournaments and pro matches? ---

There certainly is, but I'd also ask how large and whether revenue from it can sustain the effort (if the idea is to profit from it). ---

I think if its a simple page with the top 3 tournament games, it could be close to free. ---

Interesting. I don't follow Go, but I think brain sports are cleaner/more reputable than the major sports, result manipulation-wised. Throw in Chess/Scrabble and whatnot. I used to follow table tennis pro-tours. Maybe we could get chinese TT fans on counterparty betting this way. TT is freaking huge in China. ---

There needs to be some general predictions market, where people can post their feeds and earn a reputation… or whatever. ---

[/quote] You're talking about a directory of broadcast feeds? That would be really cool. Each broadcasting entity could have a page listing all of their broadcast feeds, the individual broadcasts, their logo, a link to their website, etc. I actually think [blockscan.com](http://blockscan.com) is the best candidate for adding this since they already have broadcast feeds. ---

A tie in with the #bitcoin-otc web-of-trust would be good. Otherwise you're looking at setting up a reputation system from scratch. In that case, OpenBazaar just introduced proof-of-burn to increase the cost of closing up shop and starting fresh after pulling "the big dirty". ---

[/quote] Reputation can be attached to many things and brought together many ways. #bitcoin-otc allows authentication via bitcoin address so you could require that messages be signed using broadcast owner addresses stating that such and such bitcoin-otc user (name, address, gpg key) is in control of the broadcast. It's probably best to look at this from a high level and go from what would be the ideal use case for a user then figure out the easiest ways to make that happen for them.
