SportsHero is a new app that lets sports fans dabble in match predictions and show their skills off against friends and other game-watchers. The app is made by the team behind Singapore-based TradeHero, a virtual trading app backed by more than $10 million from investors, and it launched officially this week.
SportsHero is available for iOS and Android and it takes many of the mechanics from inside TradeHero, the service that let stock-watchers spend virtual credits on exchanges and get tips from experts. In the same vein, SportsHero lets fans make predictions on upcoming games with virtual currency wagers, while you can also take inspiration from the more successful punters on the service.
