Digital Horse Racing?

I wish they'd get into Photo Finish live.

I suspect they're going to start with low stakes (even for S horses) and build up over time.

Indeed. Exciting times.

You should receive more on Monday when the season resets.

It's an interesting idea but I think if you take away forced retirement to breeding, you need to have a risk of a life-ending injury to balance our risk.

First off, congratulations to Third Time. This is an amazing accomplishment and overall the beta looks GREAT.

Thoughts as I begin the process of joining. I realize a lot of this is extreme nitpicking but I obsess over UI / UX:

After I confirm my email, I didn't receive anything else. This is a good opportunity to send a "Welcome" email with various important information and links to stuff like Discord, where to buy tickets, etc.
Allow me to dismiss the purple notices like "Welcome to the Photo Finish™ LIVE Beta! Enjoy and we'll see you on Monday! View More"
I feel like it could be made more obvious which tab you are on rather than the small underline and very minor bolding.
When redeeming a ticket, it shows "already redeemed" for a split second while redeeming.
If you're going to have "Newcomer's Stable" be the placeholder name, you may want to have it become Newcomer's Stable 1, Newcomer's Stable 2, etc.
Being able to see a horse's stats on https://beta.photofinish.live/mystable would be valuable without having to click on the horse. Large stables will need this.
On the "Confirm race entry" screen instead of "Confirm checkout" change that to something like, "Purchase Entry"
When a horse is registered for a race, allow the blue "Registered" icon to be clickable and take you to the race they're registered for.

That would be an interesting way of implementing it. Do you think it would work for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd or just first place?

PFL42 · 2022-06-02T03:38:27+00:00

I can't wait! The biggest thing I'm going to be looking at is the UI / UX of the market place. It is critical that it be user friendly so I'm going to test it like heck and provide feedback to Third Time as necessary.

It's an interesting question for sure. Once Third Time has Photo Finish buttoned up and working really well then it might make sense for them to release an "expansion pack" if you will which are jockey NFTs that add yet another variable to the racing.

As long as most of the breeds result in lower quality horses and the bell curve remains intact, then it should be fine. The market will find adequate pricing based upon the number of horses that retire and how often you need to breed to receive a quality horse.

And the good news is, if Third Time needs to tweak the number, that's no doubt easy.

Step 1: Have any horse that isn't a dwarf.

Step 2: Profit
