EDUCATIONAL GUIDE · 3 DIFFERENT MECHANISMS
Understand the difference between RNG games, traditional odds, and prediction markets
Some products place users against an internal algorithm. Others use prices that include an operator margin. On FUTURAI, participants open positions in prediction markets, with visible probabilities, public rules, and verifiable resolution.
MODEL 01 · ONLINE RNG/SLOT GAMES
RNG games: you interact with an internal algorithm
User deposits balanceBALANCE
The value enters the product environment.
The value enters the product environment.
internal conversion
Credits operate inside the system
There is no price formation with other participantsINTERNAL CREDITS
The user is not expressing a view on an external event.

round defined
RNG determines each round
The outcome is produced inside the systemINTERNAL ALGORITHM
Each round is determined by a random number generator.

repetition cycle
Experience is designed for fast cycles
The outcome does not depend on analysis of a real eventREPETITION
The structure tends to encourage repeated rounds in sequence.

The structure tends to encourage repeated rounds in sequence.
Key message
In RNG games, the outcome comes from the internal system.
There is no public probability formed by the market.
MODEL 02 · TRADITIONAL ODDS PLATFORMS
Traditional odds: the price includes a margin
Operator publishes prices for selectionsPUBLISHED PRICE
user chooses
User selects an optionSELECTION
The price is already defined before the position is opened.
The price is already defined before the position is opened.
embedded margin
Price usually includes operator margin
The user must overcome that margin over timeMARGIN
The full price formation is not always visible to the user.

follows platform rules The key point is not only getting the event right
It is also dealing with a price that already includes margin.

It is also dealing with a price that already includes margin.
Key message
In traditional odds, the user interacts with a price that is already published.
The challenge is not only the event, but also overcoming the embedded margin.
MODEL 03 · FUTURAI AS A PREDICTION MARKET
FUTURAI: participants open positions in prediction markets
Market is created with an objective question
Each market represents a verifiable event.OBJECTIVE QUESTION

Outcome is settled according to published criteria
You open a position in a market, not against an internal result algorithm
Resolution follows public sources and predefined rules.VERIFIABLE RESOLUTION

Key message
On FUTURAI, the price reflects market-implied probability.
Resolution is executed according to defined rules and criteria.
How FUTURAI operates
Visible probability,
public rules, and
automated processes
On FUTURAI, automation helps with market creation, monitoring, and resolution according to public rules. The point is not to promise absolute neutrality, but to reduce manual discretion and make the process more verifiable.
POINT 01
Objective question
Each market starts with a verifiable question about an external event.
POINT 02
Resolution rules
Resolution criteria and sources are published before the market closes.
POINT 03
Positions between participants
Participants with different views open YES or NO positions.
POINT 04
Price as probability
The visible price moves with demand and works as implied market probability.
POINT 05
Public sources
Resolution depends on sources and criteria disclosed in advance.
POINT 06
Automated processes
Automated processes reduce manual intervention in operations and settlement.

| Aspect | RNG games | Traditional odds | FUTURAI |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mechanism | Internal algorithm defines each round | Operator publishes prices with margin | Participants form price through positions |
| External event | Not required | Yes, usually sports or public events | Yes, verifiable event |
| Counterparty | Internal product or algorithm | Operator model | Other market participants |
| Price | Does not represent public probability | Includes operator margin | Reflects market probability |
| Resolution | Internal to the system | According to platform rules | Published sources and criteria |
| Risk | Loss of used balance | Loss of allocated amount | Loss of the amount allocated to the position |
Risk block
Prediction markets involve risk. The value of a position may change, and an unfavorable resolution may result in the loss of the amount allocated to that position. FUTURAI does not guarantee returns and does not replace your own analysis.
