Thanks for the reply @clayboyn,

I don't see much difference with the model dublup is using now and something like having a liquidity pool on both sides in terms of it being a business as market creation, liquidity providing and oracles can all be done in a similar way how it works now all by the community.

Knowing the odds in advance is key for me whenever making any kind of prediction. I get how that works on the 2nd hand market in dublup but you need enough people with shares first and they need to be willing to sell. It is 100% possible to know the odds with the model I suggested. If a whale steps in, it would mean odds on the other side drastically increase on the other side giving an incentive for others to take those restoring the balance. The moment bets are taken, the odds are fixed regardless what happens next.

I guess in the end, dublup the way it all works now is something that just doesn't fit my personal needs and that's fine.
