Title: Making a Killing: The Theory and Practice of Assassination Markets

Abstract:
Traditional prediction markets answer "Who" or "What", while
an assassination market is designed to answer "When" or "How
Many". This talk will describe the theory behind assassination
markets and a powerful mechanism for interacting with them. I'll
conclude by discussing the first few weeks of the Gates Hillman
Prediction Market, including some of the quirks we've seen so far.
