This essentially cuts out the need for a bookmaker but in a way that is transparent and fair.

Since the betting is peer-to-peer, there is no juice or vig added by the oddsmakers, only a fee added by the market creator. Augur also incentivizes reporters to use its own Reputation Tokens, or REP, to verify the outcomes of events and ensure that they’re being reported properly.
