Got an idea for a PM market?

« PredictMarkets on TV3 Sunrise Merry Christmas from PredictMarkets! »

PredictMarkets is all about you - the user - expressing your thoughts on a range of issues in a markets context. So we’re inviting you to submit your ideas for new markets that we can post on PM.

What are you interested in? What issues are out there at the moment? Or which future outcomes are just too tough to call?

If there’s an issue/event that has a future outcome, we can make a market for it! So let us know your ideas - we’ll consider (almost) anything. And if your market gets created, we’ll credit your PM account for your efforts too.

A monthly &/or weekly nzx50 may appeal to some

When will the AB's be knocked out of the next RWC; pool, quarters, semi, finals, 1st place? Perhaps pay at 100*won/played for each of the 20 teams, or just top 8 seeds.

Will McLaren hold the F1 Constructors championship in 2009?

That boating thing, America's cup, the local comp.

Oscar for Best movie?

Election results in other countries that are likely to be of interest to the original pols-nerd crowd.

Our next general election. Never too early, should see a lot of shifts over the years.

Road fatalities over the official Christmas period, easter next year, etc. Totally poor taste, but widely reported and commented on each year. Phrase it "down on last year?"

Commonwealth Games medals for NZ, and golds. $5 per gold, max $100?

NZ music awards for whatever seems most important.

Whatever international sporting tournaments get held here.

1st quarter growth next year, etc.

Those are some good ideas for markets.

LOL @ fatalities, that may be tough for them to do, even worded well, it still would not be very positive to bet on lives lost.
