[Howdy, Forecasters!]

🔮 Howdy, Forecasters! 🔮

We’re delighted to announce that Futuur, the world’s leading play-money prediction market, is now offering real-money markets in Bitcoin BTC!

Futuur is a prediction market, a people-powered forecasting engine where you can bet on real-world events, from sports to politics to science and everything in between. Our mission is to help improve decision-making by generating more accurate predictions about the greatest possible range of future events.  We do this by aggregating the “wisdom of the crowd” into a single, easy to understand percentage estimate for the likelihood of that event to occur.

Offering more than a thousand active markets! Check out current forecasts in:

💼  Business 💼
👏  Entertainment 👏
⚽  Sports ⚽
🗳️  Politics 🗳️
🔬  Science 🔬

It’s totally free to join and bet as much as you want using Ooms, our play-money currency! We’ve done our best to make the interface fast, fun, and social. Comment on markets, follow your friends to find out what they’re forecasting, and make your way up our leaderboards!

We have been operating play-money markets since 2017, and to date have resolved more than 35,000 markets with bets from over 15,000 forecasters. And we’ve seen a lot of success! Our average Brier score (the measurement statisticians use to evaluate the accuracy of probabilistic predictions) of 0.163 is a strong confirmation that our crowd-powered predictions actually work!

And now, you can bet with Bitcoin!  Bitcoin markets will operate in parallel to our Ooms markets, and will generate separate forecasts.  We think that this additional financial incentive -- more “skin in the game” -- will bring even more accurate forecasts as a result!
