No one to reply such a basic question as "Will Play support sport bets?". For a DAC under Bitshares brand, one would expect a minimum effort put into communication, especially during crowd funding.

They may be watching https://playtalk.org/ more closely.You could try asking over there.
So much for the BitShares Play...
Nevermind, I guess I'll just pass on that one.

They have a separate dev team, similar to the Music DAC. I think the suggestion to 3rd party DACs is to use "Powered by BitShares" instead of putting BitShares directly in the name to prevent this sort of confusion.

To answer your question I think that betting would be an easy use case, at least e-sports betting, but I don't know about official support or if it will be a 3rd party that launches such a service.

Will the "quiz game" facility allow to implement sport bets? To avoid a massive overhead on delegates, you should rely on oracle scripts stored on the block chain that would check the results of sport events on multiple bookmaker sites, reconciliate the results to detect inconsistencies, and input the resulst in the blockchain as signed messages. The role of delegates would then be to audit the oracles code, make sure they are reliable, and run them. Codius could be a good plateform for that.
