Unique concept but its not new, sometimes people do this with their friends and families. Future betting is definitely a concept in gambling that haven’t been seen that much in gambling platforms, finally this platform made it formal and more organised compare to what we traditionally do.
The concept may not be new. Prediction is always the game in betting. You try to bet on whichever you think will come out. But what is new with Futuur is that it offers questions which are nowhere to be found on other prediction and betting platforms.
To give you an example, can you bet on the question whether or not humans will find evidence of life outside earth in other platforms? I don't think so. That's unique to Futuur.
I think the problem is the incomplete understanding of what Betting/Prediction Market really is. The understanding will likely help people make more discoveries of what is possible (and useful) in the betting world. It's simply about predicting, guessing, betting on the "right unknowns". It doesn't have to be dangerous or unsafe.
