Betting on the news

NewsFutures is a virtual stock-trading site, where the stocks are predictions. For example, if you think "John-Paul II remains Pope until 2003" sounds likely then you can invest your virtual dollars in it. If it sounds familiar you may already have seen the long-running and less pretty Foresight Exchange which does exactly the same thing.
