Hi.

Interesting post.

Since the FBI, CIA and NSA monitors this forum, here’s my offer.

I’ll do it for expenses only. Donate my winnings to the 2020 Trump campaign.

Anyone who can truly see the future is going to make a fortune in the market and not bother with any of this.

[David in Cal]

As a statistics expert, I know this is foolish. Just by luck, someone will do exceptionally well. But, that will mean nothing.

The real winners won’t “win the prize” and we will never see their names.

Democrats will progressively pull crazier ideas out of their a$$ to pander to any group except white males. Where do I collect?

[VanShuyten]

Sounds like fun and a good way to find out what the spooks are worried about.

Anybody else out there getting tired of our intel community constantly wasting money on creepy BS? They are way past detecting the Jap fleet headed for Pearl Harbor. Now they are merely an instrument of controlling the American people and suppressing any thought that opposes globalism.

Most of their secrecy is not protecting launch codes and names of spies. It is to hide their activities from the American people because they know they are doing things a large majority disapprove of.

We have become the USSR, with better consumer goods.

[Laslo Fripp]

So this competition is not open to the National Weather Service?

They are a non-prophet organization...

Related to this, I was reading something, I think in Forbes, about predictive markets for various events. You've probably heard about this for things like presidential elections. Like you win $1 if Trump wins the election, and in Sept 2016, that option was selling for 30 some cents.

Anyway, expanding beyond that, it is a way for people in the know, to put their money where their mouth is. It can be for all sorts of stuff, that will help people make good decisions in advertising and investing. And so decision makers can see what people in the know are willing to put their money on.

It can be things like will Verizon launch 5G service in Peoria, IL by 2020, will GM re-open a car plant in Ohio in 2019, to will the Tampa Rays move to Charlotte by 2021. It's a way for people in the know to tip their hands about business decisions.

"... $250k to those who can accurately forecast future events"

Absurd!

Anyone who can do this should be paid at least $1,000,000,000... Otherwise the person will do even better quietly using (over time) his own skill set for himself...

[I want the USA back]

I’ll give 1000 different “prophesies” and one of them will be close enough and I’ll win and everyone will think I can foresee the future.

[Leaning Right]

This is going to be easy. I should start spending that $250,000 now.

My method (please don't tell anyone): I'm going to ask Dick Morris for his predictions. Then I will predict the exact opposite.

[VanShuyten]

The rules say groups can apply.
I bet that A FR group could easily win this, and then JR would be able to cancel one fund drive.

Trump will win in ‘20.

Libs will try to steal every election from the local school board on up.

There will never be an end to the illegal caravans in our lifetime.

Demwits will never leave Trump alone.

Korea, China, Russia, Iran and the US will continue to test their missiles.

There will be at least one intentionally brought over Ebola case in the US this year.

Colleges will run out of green crayons.

There will be a climate change on June 21, Sept. 23 and Dec. 21.

[Grimmy]

I’m gonna have a pork chop, rice and steamed broccoli for dinner.

I win!
