BtrBet Updates For July 2024
by zach wickWelcome to July — Here in Ohio, it's hot and rainy, hockey season is over, my farmer's tan from mowing is coming along nicely, I'm waiting for NBA Summer League to start, and looking forward to celebrating the 4th by eating my weight in smoked pork butt. If the MLB All-Star game still meant something, I'd be looking forward to that, but as it is, I guess I'll get my baseball fix that week with my kids' Little League games.
Over the last few weeks, we’ve pushed out some pretty exciting updates to BtrBet that I want to gush about.
The least exciting update is that you can now add images and GIFs to shared bets. Everybody loves a relevant gif, but this update also means that you can now share a custom graphic along with your bet — maybe something like a player's stats for the season or your latest MS Paint masterpiece.
More exciting than GIFs or MS Paint masterpieces, you can now share a line directly from the BtrBet Markets search page. Find a great price on a player prop? Want advice from the BtrBet community or your X/Discord/FaceBook/Tumblr about which side of pick 'em to take? Now, you can share that line directly and give people a one-click way to check out that market and give their opinions.
We've also made some styling updates to Recaps, and tweaked some of the comment auto-moderation filters. Maybe these were the least exciting updates since I almost forgot about them until I went back through our code commits.
I'm already looking forward to August's update email to y'all because what we're working on now is more exciting to me than when I first got data syncing from linked accounts to work properly. If you have your own ideas on what we should be working on, such as a rough edge you've found or something that just doesn't work as you expect, let me know and we'll get it sorted.
If you'd like a walkthrough of everything that btrbet can do for you, or help getting you set up for success using our tools, I'm happy to do so. You can schedule that chat at your convenience at https://calendly.com/btrbet-zach/making-the-most-of-btrbet.
