Panos Ipeirotis wants HubDub (and others) to set up meta-markets -as an anti-bragging medecine.
Panos Ipeirotis:
Actually, I would like to see for such collective events (senate races, oscars etc), to see a “meta-market” in each exchange:
“How many events is our exchange going to guess correctly?”
In principle, it should be possible to price correctly such contracts using the reported probabilities and their dependencies. This should give some extra attention to the fact that markets are not supposed to get everything correctly to be accurate.

[*] Great name (”-Behind The Enemy’-s Lines”-) —-but where does the name come from?
World Blogging Month (WoBloMo)
Our fearless conductor Chris Masse has mastered the art of blogging, including the key ingredient of consistent daily posts. He knows what Stephen King knows: quantity and quality can be friends.
For a pseudo-blogger like me intimidated by those seven letters “-P u b l i s h”-, I could use some prodding from ludicrous and arbitrary deadlines. Sixteen of them, in fact.
Enter World Blogging Month (WoBloMo), coming in March. The goal is simple: Blog every other day from March 1 to March 31 and you win.
I’-m in. So far as I can tell so are two other people.
One of them, Mark Reid, summed up his reason for joining nicely: “-By forcing regular posts I’m hoping to not indulge myself as much in my writing, find the main thing I want to say in each post and just say it.”-
March is a good month to write since it happens to be a popular month to surf.
So join us and “-just say it”- on every odd day of March. See you on the other side.
Full disclosure.
