		I am a US resident and it seems that I cannot use my US accounts to legally pay for Intrade. I am wondering, considering the rise of prediction markets, is it possible for US residents to participate in these markets legally?

are legal for United States residents, and offer a pretty good spread at the moment for making some quick money on the election results.
