YOU SHOULD READ: My list of LinkedIn connections is 2.6 times longer than John Delaney&#8217-s one. I have 101- he has only 38. Pfff&#8230- He is so behind. He&#8217-ll never catch up.

Do join the &#8220-Prediction Markets&#8221- group at LinkedIn.

Jed Christiansen will never be a cheerleader for the prediction market industry as long as he holds those wrong views about betting on sports.

InTrade-TradeSports CEO John Delaney and HubDub CEO Nigel Eccles might be seen as &#8220-prediction market gurus&#8221-, at least by some &#8212-I doubt very strongly that many industry people will add Jed in the list, after they have read the conformist bullshit that he sent to the CFTC.

We are still waiting Jed&#8217-s reaction on Sean Park&#8217-s comment. Cat got your tongue, Jed? At other times, we couldn&#8217-t stop you.

Predict Olympic medal counts on YooPick.

We&#8217-ve just added a new feature to Yoopick especially for Frenchmen Chris and Emile and citizens of nineteen other countries to place their swagor* on how many medals their country will win.

We&#8217-ve argued that the Yoopick interface is useful for predicting almost any kind of number, and since medal count is indeed a number, we thought we&#8217-d give it a try.

Besides, Lance told us it would be a good idea.

Sign up, play, enjoy, and don’t forget to tell us what you think!

Thanks,

You know what I thought when I first saw that picture (little Fogarty planted next to Master Of Credit Alan Greenspan)?… I thought, well, its about time that the prediction market industry does the product endorsement by celebrity marketing thing. BetFair premiered that with John McCririck.

What Dean LeBaron should do to have a more usable website. + Who is Dean LeBaron and why does Midas Oracle get to publish about him?

– He should adopt WordPress as his web publishing platform-

– He should use YouTube to web-host his talk videos.

PS: Question to the Midas Oracle readers about Dean LeBaron. Something important has been left out (intentionally) of Dean LeBaron&#8217-s bio. Can you sense what it is? Something that has to do with what we are blogging about on Midas Oracle, day in, day out. Guess what it is. I won&#8217-t talk about it &#8212-don&#8217-t ask. Just a private mind puzzle for your amusement, after you&#8217-ve come back from the beach with the children.

Look at the inconsistency between the two faces. Mat Fogarty is jubilant like if he had just stolen a big client from Inkling. Alan Greenspan, on the other hand, has a constipated look that conveys that he is fed up with all those conference co-speakers asking him out for a photo op.
