If… Then: The Idiom of Data Exchange
Yes, but the betting will be on the judgments made by the Thirdness team, which will always be parallel or "adjacent" to actual events. I don't see a way of making it work with betting on events, beyond ones with formalized closure, like elections, games, verdicts, exchange rates, etc., which is both very limiting and not very illuminating. Think of it in terms of betting on people playing video games or, maybe on the decision to made by a jury, but in this case a "virtual" jury constructing its own "cases" so as to make things difficult for itself. This would, I think, indeed produce robust databases and everything else you're pointing to. The Thirdness team would write up the reasons for its decisions but bettors could be incentivized to do so as well.

How far back do you want to go?
---
I already have a pdf going up to sometime in 2012--can I attach it here?
---
Do you have a site for me to upload to?
---
OK, I uploaded that pdf. Can you tell me if it's actually in there? And, then, do the files have to be uploaded one at a time, or is there are a way to do it in bulk?
---
with whom do I share it?
---
Can I share it with you--here?

Did you get it?
---
It seems only the pdf came through, not the folder.

Let's try this:
