Maybe the CFTC? I don't think it's the SEC or FTC.

Anyway, that's the same thing that's let the Iowa electronic market operate for many years.

Essentially they are doing this under a thin guise of research.

He asked why they have the waiver. They are allowed to operate because they limit it at $850 per bet and $4,500 total, sorry you find that sad.

This requirement of artificially low bets means that it's not a good representation of what people with money are actually betting on.

Ah, yes, people with money betting on politics - those are the opinions I'm really missing out on.

"Statistics" and "physics" being different things is not pedantry. Sorry that pointing this out got you upset, but it's not exactly a minor distinction.

Physics is a statistical model at its most fundamental level.

My bud Ranjit had to wear an American flag to work every day to avoid accusations of terrorism.

*phew* I was wondering if we could tell if a brown person was one of the good ones, but I never realized Muslims/terrorists couldn't wear flag pins!
