@chrisjbillington I think Manifold was promoting it for some reason, and that's how I ended up betting in it. Actually, it helps that it's very easy to figure out how to bet (NO there is no way in hell that's going to happen in the next year.

My best guess is lots of people click on it because it's so absurd and easy to predict; then Manifold (the computers not the people) notice it's getting lots of clicks, so they promote it so it gets even more clicks...
