Intrade is definitely illegal in the U.S. You can't make direct bank transfers or use U.S. credit/debit cards to fund your accounts.

I actually spoke with a guy at intrade asking about filing it on your taxes and he was very clear, saying ''That is your choice what you do with that''.

Just invest it in Swiss Jew Gold or something.

Those two things do not make it illegal. First of all, Intrade submitted a comment to the CFTC asking for it to make a ruling, the CFTC did not respond. It's in a legal gray area. The prohibition on credit cards from the US is because Intrade cannot solicit US customers. However, there is no penalty in the law for clients, only "operators."

Secondly, if you do not file this on your taxes then you could be convicted of tax evasion.

You can't use US credit cards?

No, for two reasons. First, as a result of a law passed by Congress in 2006, Intrade cannot solicit in the US. Secondly, according to the same law no financial institution (e.g., credit card issuer) is allowed to knowingly transfer funds for the purpose of online gambling. Technically, this does not apply to Intrade, because they are a futures market, not a gambling site. The outcomes of the contracts traded there (like stock market futures, political futures) primary depend on skill (the skills of political consultants, the skills of stock traders) not chance. Hence it is not really "gambling." However, they have chosen to remove themselves from the situation to avoid any ambiguity.

It is not illegal however to use Intrade provided you can fund your account. Only online sports betting is illegal by federal law, online futures contract trading or even betting on non-sports games of chance are not illegal. Under state law, it depends on the laws of your particular state. Maryland has no prohibition of online futures trading or online gambling.

I would report any winnings on Intrade as capital gains from unregulated futures trading. It may be tempting to not report it. However, if you do not report it and are audited by the IRS, what will you say then? You could be convicted of tax evasion.

unless you are raking in the dough it's going to be a huge waste of resources for the IRS to bring you to trial over your Intrade account.

These betters clearly do not understand the politics of Herman Cain. His supporters are the most anti-Romney, anti-Huntsman (especially since he worked in Obama's administration)

Exactly what I was thinking.

No one believes denial of VP interest this early.  Once they actually refuse to be vetted, then it's time to actually believe them.

So we'll wait then. Interesting that Jon Kyl (who openly expressed interest) and Paul Ryan (who's left the door slightly ajar) aren't being traded though.

Is this the probability of how you'll vote or the probability of who will win? Because I'm happy if this forum's generic republican prefers Paul to bachmann, perry and santorum.
