The thought that the bookie then posts a chart in the free section of his website . . . well, it's clearly un-American. I know this must be true, because when a free market economist, Robin Hanson, recommended the creation of a betting site for future terrorist acts, in order to better assess their likelihood, there was such a firestorm of criticism from Congress that the Defense Department dropped the idea the day after news of the suggestion hit the media. When a free market solution for a better system than the colored terrorism alert system used by the government, Congress saw red. That was in 2003. It seems even more un-American today.
Please know more about that stuff quoted above. That stuff is also labeled as Put Optoins or Futures. There is much more to this stuff than what may be easily seen on the surface.
You may get a better handle on what this stuff is if you read the following link:

I won't quote from that and I do not support that type of power abuse. That type of power abuse isn't merely theoretical. That type of stuff goes on today.
Here is an example:
