The idea is fun (so it doesn't come from Prescott )

Three remarks from a karma expert:

* 1 *
could the computer calculate/actualize the odds?
In your Hillary example, I might think she'll win,
but bet against in hopes of a *2 reward rather than a 0.5

* 2 *
in the example, people having bet 100ks would share 50ks
0.5k per bet. How do you round it up?

* 3 *
Why require to bet all of one's total daily allotment?
Let people bet according to the amount of certainty they feel
(and according to their daily allotment, which may vary over time )
