Comment on Anyone knows the reasoning behind HubDub suspending all their Republican VP prediction markets? by Chris F. Masse (1)

I did not take offense. I understand you have a different point of view. - My view is that you are treating traders like schoolboys and I don’t like that. - I also don’t like that it is impossible to sell only a part of what was bought. A seller is compelled to sell anything he has. You should allow partial shorting. - HubDub risks alienating the hard-core traders. NewsFutures is more satisfying, with regard ...

“those users who were able to stay up and watch the news would have had an unfair advantage.” - Complete B.S. - The HubDub traders should be treated as adults, not like kids. - I want know to erase all the good things I wrote about HubDub, after I have read that. Completely insane.

The prediction markets should be settled just after the official announcement. I don’t see the reason to stop trading before that.

InTrade-TradeSports CEO John Delaney (a.k.a. “The Sponge”) has siphoned the best concepts premiered by HubDub, and, in particular, has copied WORD FOR WORD some of the HubDub webpages. Example: The 3 selling points of the InTrade .NET login/registration webpage are similar to those of HubDub. - HubDub: - InTrade.

Don’t forget to tell LinkedIn to show the groups you belong to on your profile —that’s the damn purpose (to get the web visitors to navigate from one profile to another from within the prediction market community).

JOE BIDEN ON RUDY GIULIANI: “There’s only three things he mentions in a sentence —a noun, a verb, and 9/11. There’s nothing else! There’s nothing else! And I mean this sincerely. He’s genuinely not qualified to be president.” (1)

Barack Obama + Joe Biden — THE PREDICTION MARKETS NAILED IT… triple alas (for my reputation as a world-wide prediction market pundit, and for the debate on the different quality of the various primary indicators out there). (1)

“Friend — I have some important news that I want to make official. I’ve chosen Joe Biden to be my running mate.” Some blogger says his wife is fantastic. New York Times portrait of Joe Biden. UPDATE: Barack Obama’s speech + Joe Biden’s speech - I think it is the worst pick ever. What a blunder. Joe Biden (a D.C. insider) is unpopular and gaffe prone. Plus, that choice shows that Barack Obama is insecure ...

Comment on While InTrade CEO John Delaney is deceiving the journalists to sell his wares, Tom Snee of the Iowa Electronic Markets is telling them the truth: BEWARE THE VP-CANDIDATE PREDICTION MARKETS, THEY JUST AGGREGATE RUMORS. by Chris F. Masse (1)

The prediction markets are not worse than other mechanism… But I don’t want any mechanism to aggregate rumors. That’s the point.

By how much will Porsche’s profit be higher than its turnover? Interesting new prediction market at HubDub. - What I have just realized is that the most sociable of the HubDub traders (like the one who created the question above) can drive many of their “friends” to their newly created prediction market(s). I used to think that only a blogger would do that —I was wrong. HubDub has a performing social networking system that works ...
