The Prediction Market Industry Association is pitiful.
No update since October 22, 2007. Miserable.
Questions about the e-mailing list of the Prediction Market Industry Association
If, allegedly, the ownership of this e-mailing list was passed to the PMIA, why is it that John Maloney (a commercial conference organizer who does not belong to the prediction market industry) is still its “moderator“? And why is it … Continue reading

Science comes to the rescue of the “leading academics” suffering lapses of memory —those who, on Monday, signed on to be on the board of the Prediction Market Industry Association, which is supposed to lobby for the legalization of InTrade’s real-money prediction markets in the United States of America —and, on the next Tuesday, signed Bob’s puritan and sterile petition.

Pssttt… Did I tell you that I like InTrade CEO John Delaney’s comment to the CFTC about “event markets” (prediction markets)? I can’t remember whether I did tell you that already. (I do suffer memory lapses, sometimes. I know it’s a common affliction, because I see that Robin Hanson and Justin Wolfers, just before they signed Bob’s puritan and sterile petition, completely forgot that they were on the board of the Prediction Market Industry Association, which is supposed to lobby for the legalization of InTrade’s real-money prediction markets in the United States of America. A lapse in memory, probably.)

The fact that the Prediction Market Industry Association didn’t submit a comment to the CFTC on “event markets” (prediction markets)…
… is the ultimate proof that it is a fake organization —as Deep Throat told us last month. PMIA = a marketing vehicle for some of its founders. -
