  4. Calling intrade better then the rest after a few elections is like calling a trading strategy better then the rest after a few big wins.

    You act like the next election is in 30 days.

    Show me intrades postive expectancy statistics based on predictions that involve a timeframe longer than three years and you might have a case.

    Insider trading you better stick to the insider trading because you have no appreciation for probabilities.

  5. Hey ,if you are that strongly against them you can bet 33 to make 66.you can talk all the shit on here that you want but I think you are smart enough not to take that bet

  6. If I said it was pure speculation then do you think I would take either side of the bet?
