Good for you,and just think maybe the "other money" was from soros or europe!!!
The tradesports market is small-money liquidity, and a player like soros wouldn't bother with it. The sharp decline in bush contracts was due to the horrible negative publicity from the exit polls.
I wish I had pre-funded a tradesports account...they don't make it easy to get more than $250 in via credit card the first day, but there were terrible inefficiencies in their political contracts market which a person could have exploited.
