OMFG.
I was looking for a site like this.
In fact, I made a thread about it about a month or two ago asking people if they knew of anything...
(no one responded).


Thanks!

I love that there is real money on the line. It seems like they have some rather high profile people submitting bets as well. It is also cool that you can vote on the different bets. But like most long term voting schemes, I wish you could see the votes grow over time. You know? Wouldn't it be cool if for some of the long term bets you gradually saw the votes shift from one perspective to another as we get closer or further away from the future that either side was predicting?
