I would be pretty surprised if they introduced short selling. There's no question that a good chunk of Robinhood's user base are novice investors. Those that do not understand short selling may land themselves into a lot of a hot water. There may be measures RH could take to prevent novice users from dangerous short selling plays. I'd be curious to see how they introduce it.

I actually emailed support about this a while back and was told it's on the roadmap.

They could introduce put options, at least.

Just so they offer some form of betting against the market. I don't care how.

Creating beta-neutral systems with Robinhood would then be possible.

Well,

The way I approach betting against the market is inverse leveraged ETFs. If you want to bet against S&P 500, ProShares has a 2X inverse offering, and you can probably balance it with 3x leveraged gold JNUG / JDST as they track the market.

Nice, I never knew inverse ETFs existed. Thanks for this!
