Betting Exchange - TradeSports - Trading Exchange.

IMPORTANT: Tradesports will be ceasing operations on Friday November 28th 2008.

It is with regret that the owners of TradeSports.com have decided to cease operations on Friday November 28th 2008.

It is expected that you will be anxious about your account balance. Please be assured that all customer balances are fully funded and will be returned to you with all possible haste and in accordance with the details below. Should you wish to have your funds sent by FedEx we are happy to do so. Likewise should you wish to receive your funds by bank transfer we will effect your instruction accordingly.
That's too bad.

From what I can tell, Intrade is still making markets: Intrade Prediction Markets

I had hoped the prediction markets would really take off and get more prevalent, but the opposite seems to have happened. I think the anti-online gambling legislation may have seriously hurt Tradesport's markets. It became much harder to fund accounts. You basically had to do an international bank wire or send a check overseas. Thanks US Congress, for protecting us from ourselves.

Bummer.
