As you have seen, Ryan of HubDub have published about a bunch of play-money prediction markets that are hot this week. I hope that Ryan will come back each week to update us. This possibility to inform the Midas Oracle readers about the hottest prediction markets is of course offered to all the other prediction exchanges (BetFair, InTrade, Betdaq, Iowa Electronic Markets, HedgeStreet, Cantor Exchange, Hollywood Stock Exchange, NewsFutures, Inkling Markets, IndiaPX, etc.). Researchers are also welcome to publish here. Traders (like Caveat Bettor or Wiser Than The Crowd), too. In fact, anybody who is a fan of prediction markets (and more generally, collective intelligence used for forecasting) can post or cross-post here. Join us today.
Now, some news:
- Midas Oracle is in re-construction. I am re-building the “pages” —that’s what you see on the scrolling menu on the frontpage. It will take some days.
- The WordPress theme (that commands the blog layout) will be updated, in the near future. The new version is said to have many options, which we will take advantage of.
- Once all those technicalities are finessed, I will go back to drafting ideas about the “Prediction Market Institute” —it won’t be that, actually. I have had some mutant ideas. Some others had their own clever thoughts. Mixing up all that will lead us to develop ideas completely different from those originally floated.
