We just wanted to announce the launch of Smarkets.com.
Unfortunately, this will be a short post. Since I am currently residing in the United States (and they have markets in sports) I am not allowed to have an account with Smarkets. I will defer to a video they have posted (although even this is truncated), and if anyone out there has tried using them I would love to get in touch. Suffice it to say that their manual odd-setting feature seems very interesting, as well as their open source API. As always, we are curious about its effect on forecasting, prediction accuracy and liquidity.
Watch the (half?) video here.
