UPDATE: Correction. Even though the Oscars 2009 is now a past event (it is midnight time, Pacific Time), InTrade has the prediction markets listed in their live section. Bizarre. They are still open. I wonder whether that means that InTrade is in such a dire situation that they cannot afford anymore to have Irish employees working at night in Ireland.

Same thing for BetFair. Where are the expired charts, Mike Robb?

-

If I had an easy and quick access to the expired charts of InTrade, BetFair, NewsFutures and HubDub, I could establish and publish a comparison between Nate Silver and the prediction markets.

Once again, this proves that our prediction exchanges are run by incompetents who can’t spell “usability”.

See Wikipedia on the Oscars 2009.

The BetFair marketing department is staffed by arrogant incompetents who are incapable of establishing a working relationship with prediction market bloggers like me.

There is nothing more important for our industry than the uprising of new blogs that would hot-link to the charts of prediction markets. The BetFair marketing team hasn’t computed that yet, in spite of all efforts made in their direction.

Of all the prediction market firms I talk with, BetFair is the most impermeable to the prediction market approach: their degree of arrogance is inversely proportional to their level of competency.
