Make Money on the Future

Why gamble on fantasy football when you can take bets on sports the same way you invest in the stock market?

Tradesports.com is like a stock exchange for sports.

The data is much more accurate than opinion polls because the traders will lose money if they have the wrong opinions.

The company is based off of Intrade.com where people take bets on global events.

Intrade predicted that George Bush would win 2004.

It also predicted 33 out or 34 Senate races (it failed in Alaska because barely anyone traded).

You can bet on who will win an Emmy, where a hurricane will hit, and even on the outcome of O.J. Simpsons Las Vegas Robbery Trial.

Loneliness

Transient Loneliness – Temporary.

Example: listening to a song that reminds you of a loved one.

Situational Loneliness – Example: A sudden loss or move to a new city.

Chronic Loneliness

Chronically lonely people do not achieve a desired level of intimacy with their friends. They are obsessed by the possibilities of negative outcomes of social interactions.

People who have higher levels of social skills, including friendliness, communication skills, appropriate nonverbal behavior, and appropriate responses to others, have more adequate social support systems and lower levels of loneliness.
