at the iowa electronic markets, you can bet on the futures of everything from influenza outbreaks to the 2008 presidential candidates.



lacking trust in the system, i neglected to invest during the 2006 election, but several of my colleagues in grad school made some cash on the congressional elections. IEM was just namedropped in this slate article too. it's a not-for-profit gambling system using real cash and bases all its prices on current demand - it's been far more accurate than pundits in predicting elections. also, you can make cash if you got your finger to the pulse. the best time to buy is early.

who's with me? now is the time to buy your mccain or edwards stock.

A competitor formerly known as TradeSports (now called "intrade" https://www.intrade.com/) allowed gamblers to bet on all kinds of hideous things, like the date by which the United States or Israel would launch an air strike on Iran.
