Am I the only one who thinks you have (or will have) a problem with revenues, too? (But best of luck, of course!)

The revenue stream has yet to be put in place and will never be seen by users in Canada or the U.S. for legal reasons. This beta site we are running now is a test of the market. Partnering with online sport bookies to place a link beside your fake bet on Fansunite that takes you to their site and will allow you to make the bet for real pays out commissions. Also a small monthly membership fee will be implemented and will allow you access to the top cappers on the site. For a sport bettor this information is invaluable. 90% of the site will remain free. You will be able to make picks and see all users information that are below a certain ranking. Essentially what we are trying to do is change the capping game all together. If you look around now you will see "pro" cappers making picks and posting them to their blogs and wordpress sites for bettors to follow. There is no transparency to what they are doing, a record is easily changes here and there, and they are able to charge huge money for that information. We are basically crowd sourcing the game of capping, making it a social experience and documenting the users entire history for everyone to see.
