Want to Test Your Powers of Political Prognostication?

[ShannonCT]

Intrade, the futures market for predicting various political, financial, and news events, has an area on their site where you can play the market with fake money (http://play.intrade.com/).

Who's up for a game?

If there is enough interest, I will open a thread in Forum Games where participants can compete to turn their $5000 of free fake money into more than anyone else, by attempting to predict the outcomes of various US election events over the next couple months. The game would start in the next few days and run a few days past Election Day.

The reward: quantifiable bragging rights over your less astute OT friends.

I think there's too much personal info they require that will wind up sending advertisements and other unwanted spam to my email. Otherwise it looks fun.

You can use fake info and an alternate email.
