15. Ladbrokes: Snowden 2/1 and Pope 3/1 ------- BitCoin Predictious: Snowden favored

Mon Dec 9, 2013, 03:54 PM

Dec 2013

Normally I would look at intrade.com for accurate odds but it was shut down by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission this past year.

Other options are betting sites and a BitCoin-based intrade replacement.

Even though Snowden is heavily favored by Predictious, BitCoin is "techie" biased. Its predictions are likely to follow.
