What do you mean he should post his birth certificate? He already has.

Fascinating contract. What about health issues? If he were to come down with some stress-related illness or aggressive cancer, would this contract pay out?

That is a certificate of live birth, a document stating that another document exists
All people want is a birth certificate, stating where his birth hospital was.

With all the birther stories breaking so fast, it would seem there could be some play on this contract. But not yet.
Intrade’s Contract: no change, no volume. Maybe a good time to put our money where our mouths are — and make money on it if we’re right.
