I stand corrected, it seems the Literature nobel prize is very hard to guess
correctly, they did find out last year's prize early but it was because of a
leak.

"Betting on Modiano to win the Nobel surged in the last week, raising
questions about a possible leak. David Williams of bookmaker Ladbrokes said
Modiano's odds had shortened from 100-1 a few months ago to 10-1 before the
announcement."

Edit: I still think a "Startup Stock Exchange" could be fun, maybe based on
CrunchBase or something :)

I used to mess around on exchangel.co, but mainly I'm interested in placing
long bets which just require some patience rather than trading in the
artificial market. I think there's another one out there too that does start
up trading.
