Congrats to InTrade and NewsFutures, which predicted a victory for Al Gore, in a weak way, though.
The Bet2Give real-money betting exchange could facilitate the sponsoring of socially valuable prediction markets by foundations and think tanks.
Could Emile Servan-Schreiber push his Bet2Give concept a bit further?
I’m thinking of something, having in mind the LongBets experiment. Bet2Give lets traders select the charity of their choice. Good. But can’t we go further than that? Why not letting some people (like Robin Hanson and his gullible fanboys like Chris Hibbert ) create [...]
