Intrade.....I find myself buying and selling/shorting shares all day on whether Obama will be re-elected.....Or whether or not Bashar al-Assad will still be in power in Syria on Dec 31st......Or whether or not The Expendables 2 will gross over 35 million on its opening weekend.....

right now I am heavy invested in whether the Arctic sea ice extent for Sep 2012 to be less than 4.3 million square kilometres.....

it's just too fun.....It's better than the craps table at times LOL

My advice -- buy Obama after the GOP convention, at a good price, and vise versa. There is usually a temporary convention bump, only to quickly fade away. This does not apply after a bad convention, like GOP 92.

Where else can this wager be made? Bovada or 5dimes? Is it available in Vegas? What is the current price? I was going to make that bet too
