"[J]ournalists could easily exploit their knowledge for insider trading on (gambling 'markets'). I dearly hope that’s not been happening, and won’t happen, in this unnerving new arena, where reality, journalism, gambling and criminality intertwine."

@dangillmor I'm not a journalist, but I was warned almost two (TWO!) years ago about something that we post on my office website on a monthly basis and one of those "prediction markets".

TBH, I never heard of the term "prediction market" until maybe last summer. It was originally described to me as "a gambling website".
