I am a member of TradeSports which has betting on things like this and there is simply not enough liquidity in these markets to make an assasination profitable enough.

While something could make several thousand dollars, all of their bets would be tracked and their identification known so there is simply no way a market like this would significantly increase the chance of something tragic happening.

The whole purpose of it is to PREDICT when something might be in the works as these terrorist idiots would probably try to make a few bucks in the process.

While the plethora of liberal idiots on this board would rejoice if something happened to George W. a market like this could be the difference between the USA being prepared as opposed to what happened in 9/11.
