2. I'm glad that site is receiving some attention here

Many markets on various topics.

I enjoy battling with the right wing commenters. There are quite a few liberal commenters also.

BTW, it is easy to wager and the amounts don't have to be high. You can literally wager less than a dollar if desired.

The way it works is you fund your account via checking account or credit card. But don't do it immediately upon joining. I almost made that mistake. Fortunately I waited and within a day or two I got a promo code saying they would match my first $25. So I got a free $25, and then funded a heck of a lot more.

Then check the available pricing and shares of something you are interested in. Some people there merely speculate on price and scalp/arbitrage, not really caring about the actual result as much as predicting public opinion and where the number will go.

I do some of that but mostly I'm treating it like sports betting...picking an undervalued market based on fundamentals and then locking in the price while waiting for the outcome.

Dr. Ford to testify at 44 cents was the best I've seen so far. Somehow the conservatives there thought she would be too scared to show up and drove the price way down.

3. It's peculiar to me his accomplice Judge said he would be willing to talk "confidentially."

It makes me think he's going to spill the beans.

4. He's the weak link and the wild card

Republicans have no idea what he would say or do. That's why they were so scared of his public testimony and happy that he was hiding out

5. The extra week sure gives some time to develop the accusations that are out there.
