Re: How gamblers can make a better world
Hey, cool idea. Like a survival-of-the-fittest to find those people who are best at predicting our future (and what better motivator than money).
Imagine we had a website for futures gambling...
-It should be exclusive, kept under 50,000 people. And the details of wagers should not be available to the general public. This way, it doesn't have a significant impact on the outcome of events.
-How to decide who gets in? Firstly, it should be mid-stakes and higher. Dead money is not the priority here; discovering people who are skilled at prediction is. Secondly, for obvious reasons we don't want many policy-makers in the pool of players, so there has to be another filter to decide who gets in: The Futures Gambling website should be in league with major poker websites. The bulk of the Future Gamblers player pool should be consistent poker winners, to be chosen by the poker websites.
-The consistent Futures Gambler winners could become the most trusted advisors in the world (which, of course, could lead to some very dangerous situations down the road.... but that's another post)
