'Eight Men Out is a 1988 American period sports drama film based on Eliot Asinof's 1963 book Eight Men Out: The Black Sox and the 1919 World Series. It was written and directed by John Sayles. The film is a dramatization of Major League #Baseball's Black Sox Scandal in which eight members of the Chicago White Sox conspired with #gamblers to lose the 1919 World Series. Most of the movie was filmed at Bush Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana.'

"The logic behind prediction markets is unlike a poll or a pundit. Instead, the bettor has to publicly put money on the line about their expectations and will lose hard cash for being wrong. This should incentivize accuracy, but only if one assumes the money on the line reflects genuine belief rather than privileged access.

Evidence that it may reward privileged access to information is accumulating."
