Stock markets for natural disasters, movies and other crazy games

[Artik2]

Do some of you people play prediction games here? I started a few weeks ago with Hollywood stock exchange and now I play some others too, it's quite funny.

Here are the sites I know:

- HSX you play with movie names or actor names, the stocks rise or fall depending on the box office Welcome to the Hollywood Stock Exchange - The Entertainment Prediction Market

- Sportdaq, you play with sport teams, sport people. Specially interesting for people from UK, it's done by the BBC BBC - Sportdaq - Homepage

- Trendio, here you can play with almost everything, politicians, diseases, places, celebrities, etc...
The movements of the stocks are more interesting than sportdaq or hsx because they are not depending on how much people trade them but directly on how often they appear in media. (updated
every 2 hours). http://www.trendio.com

They also have a wikipedia entry here Trendio.com - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Do you know other ones?

Sorry for my bad english, I'm from poland =)

Hehe same here Silenus, also, Artik, I'm not really into such games, maybe someone else is

I'm usually the type of person who doesn't give a damn about hollywood stars and celebrities, or royal families. Reading up and predicting about them is considered a waste of time.

Most spambots don't reply back. This one must be one of those super smart one who talks like an average person and uses smilies .

Shhh it's my cover..

I'm not interested in star too, but we always see them on news... so why we can't use that (not requested) info for something more useful?
In fact... Saddam's dead was a great boost for me =)

I was also thinking that this was a spambot doing the advertising, it turns out to be a person who is into gambling.
