ABC News recently did a 20/20 story about a web site I track quite closely. The site is intrade.com, which is basically a futures market for current events. I do not have any money "invested" on this site, but the information is intriguing because it is a product of moves people are making with real money.
I just follow the site because I think it's interesting. I'm a current events and pop culture buff. So, I follow Intrade data to keep apprised of what is likely to happen in the future. I have been checking the site nearly daily for the last year, tracking the 2008 presidential election possibilities. I also recall using back in 2004 during the last election.
The American Idol futures have also been interesting to follow.
You can see the 20/20 story in the YouTube video.
