Jed Christiansens video explainer on prediction markets

No GravatarJed has put his video on YouTube and I finally got to understand how to embed a YouTube video in a WordPress blog post &#8212-simple, just temporarily uncheck the visual editor (in your profile area) and then paste the YouTube code in the writing area of your blog post.

It should work now. (You can either watch this video by clicking on &#8220-play&#8221- or watch it on the YouTube site by double-clicking on it.)

Previous blog posts by Chris F. Masse:

  • Collective Error = Average Individual Error – Prediction Diversity
  • When gambling meets Wall Street — Proposal for a brand-new kind of finance-based lottery
  • The definitive proof that it’s presently impossible to practice prediction market journalism with BetFair.
  • The Absence of Teams In Production of Blog Journalism
  • Publish a comment on the BetFair forum, get arrested.
  • If I had to guess, I would say about 50 percent of the “name pros” you see on television on a regular basis have a negative net worth. Frightening, I know.
  • You can’t measure the usefulness of a system by how many resources it consumes.

Now that I know how to embed a YouTube video :-D , here are some videos I linked to in the past. They are all about InTrade, but, in the future, we will show YouTube videos from other exchanges and vendors. (E-mail me if you know of other YouTube videos on prediction markets.)

If somebody can post the other Justin Wolfers video on YouTube (providing your criminality lawyer is OK for that), e-mail me and I will update this blog post.

Also, if somebody can post the Yahoo! Confab on YouTube (providing that it is legal to do that), e-mail me too. (David Pennock would like it to be hosted on Yahoo! Video, instead, I suppose. :-D Or is it already hosted by Yahoo! Video?? Just asking. I&#8217-m not an expert in those things.)

Also, if you have recorded conference segments, tell me, we could embed them too, if all people agree.

If you think it&#8217-s legally wrong to republish these YouTube videos, e-mail me to explain me IP rights management. I&#8217-m a bit a newbie.
