If we imagine Steem long term future, we have to be aware that this kind of initiave can fill a niche but can't be too big in the early days. We can have tens of niches like that in the future but if we give too much importance to sport betting in early days, we will transform the wide potential of Stem and orientate the plateform to this market. That could arm the future of Steem by removing the potential seriousness of it and lead people to think that it's a plateform for betting, photo challenges and cooking receipes ;p
