Foresight Exchange
Foresight exchange is a
play money future prediction market. It's free to play.
The site gives you some play money,
and you buy shares in various predictions about the future. If
the
predition comes true, then you make money. If it doesn't, you
lose.
It's a real market - when news comes out about a claim the prices of
shares go up and down. It's pretty exciting. The
predictions are about all kinds of things - science, disasters,
terrorism, space flight, and politics of course.
The website is at ideosphere. There is also
a summary page
that lists the most popular and volatile claims. The site's been
around for about 10 years now and will probably continue.
I've been playing for about a year now. I made about 10% returns
in my first 6 months, but in the last few weeks I've lost most of that
due to bad betting on the presidential election... It looks like
I might go down with the ship.
