The new fad = Media/Publishers + Prediction Exchanges

- ABC7 San Francisco + Inkling Markets

- Chicago New-Times + Inkling Markets

- S&S + XX

- Financial Times + InTrade – See: FT Predict = play-money InTrade by the Financial Times

- UPDATE: IS REUTERS PARTNERING WITH TRADESPORTS??

- Le Nouvel Observateur + NewsFutures – (not prediction markets – scoring rules) – [HISTORY VIGNETTE: USA Today + NewsFutures]

- The Philadelphia Inquirer + Iowa Electronic Markets

Reminder: The partnership between Yahoo! U.K. and BetFair petered off.

P.S.: Alex Kirtland is bullish on this kind of partnership.

Addendum: HSX was the first to have relationships with media.

  1. Or old fad new again. Remember USA Today + NewsFutures?

  2. Thanks.
    The pioneer of the relationship between media and prediction exchanges (betting exchanges) is the Hollywood Stock Exchange.
