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)

“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 ...

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).

Arbitrage between play-money and real-money markets (1)

by Jed Christiansen (0) on

Midas Oracle .ORG (6) 1 month, 2 weeks ago permalink

I’ve been running a niche prediction market site for research over the last three summers. Recently, some of these play-money markets overlapped with real-money markets currently on-going on Betfair. In my post over at Mercury’s Blog, I discuss how I’ve used play-money market wisdom to take advantage of some poor market-makers on the real-money Betfair markets. Specifically, the favourite on one particular play-money market has a probability to win of ~80% (which I think is ...
