Dean shares the journey behind ProphetX, starting with his background in finance and passion for sports betting, which led him to create a platform that challenges traditional sportsbook models. ProphetX allows bettors to set their own odds and trade directly with one another, fostering a community-driven approach to sports wagering while addressing common frustrations with high fees and limiting practices found in traditional sportsbooks.
