Zero volume betting markets in everything

Chess games, on www.intrade.com, but who cares about that tournament? I'd rather see betting on next year's Topalov-Anand match.

I thank Craig Stroup, a loyal MR reader, for the pointer.

Or on how many times the venue will be moved? Or on whether one participant will pull out shortly before it is to begin?
