The organizers of the Long Bets foundation ask you to come up with a claim about the future and $1,000.00 to kick it off.
Others can then make counter bets: all porceeds go to charity.
Some of the more intriguing bets:
By 2030 commerical airliners will routinely fly in pilotless planes.
The universe will eventually stop expanding
At least one human born in the year 2000 will still be alive in 2150.
I think somebody has figured out how to fleece the gullible at $1,000 a pop. This guy may have a future in 900-numbers.
