I still can't understand this obsession everyone seems to have with InTrade.
“I still can’t understand this obsession everyone seems to have with InTrade.”
The “obsession” comes from the fact that folks put their money where their mouth is at InTrade. Anecdotes are fun to hear, and polls can vary from very accurate to totally worthless; but money talks.
Of course, InTrade can be manipulated, and even when it is not manipulated it reflect only the opinions of its participants.
