If you are a fan of gambling, or of studying mathematical analysis and data to predict future events, you will love the augur project. Augur r is a decentralized platform that uses the ethereum blockchain technology, to predict or forecast data in the market not only in the crypto market, but also to predict many other events daily, including the weather, based on various indicators. The system works basically like a bookmaker, where, for example, a user bets on the outcome of a soccer match between Germany and Russia, and decides that the winner will be Germany; However, other users can place a bet on the Russian team, creating a transparent betting system that will give winnings at the end of the match to those who have bet on the correct option, in the form of Reps, an erc20 token, which gives it life to this platform. The reward system for winning users is very interesting, because if 70% of users vote for a specific team, for example the German team, and the remaining 30% vote as the winner for the Russian team, if they win the Russian team, users who bet on their victory would receive a greater reward, due to the risk they assumed by not being carried away by the opinions of the majority
