People are actually buying shares as they would vote in opinion polls. VoteDaq is spin-off of Dubin's fantasy Internet sport site, Sportsdaq. Unlike most fantasy-sport leagues where game players buy or manage team, Sportsdaq allows users to buy or sell shares of sports teams. Votedaq is set up the same way. For Example, The U.S. Presidential market has a separate stock for the Republican nominee or the Democratic nominee.
Politic enthusiasts have two types of markets to play.
Before and during the event, stock prices move up and down while Votedaq players buy and sell shares in the market. The site just went live June 12th, so users can now log on to the site and buy stock in candidates or issues. A current issue game players can buy stock in is the Supreme Courts decision regarding partial birth abortion. Place your vote. Copyright 2001 INT Media Group, Incorporated All Rights Reserved.
