Anyone used www.intrade.com before?
It's a kind of betting site that works like a stock market. Pretty interesting. I'm thinking of speculating in some McCain contracts.

I've been quoting numbers from intrade on the politics side for months. For the presidential election there's also the "Iowa Electronic Market" run by U of Iowa.

If McCain were to win you could make loads of money on that contract, but the thing is, he ain't gonna win. The upside on the Obama contract is obviously much smaller.

Very interesting.
Gonna have to take some time to review this site.
