The USA Today Sports eXchange is alot like gambling (except you're not playing with your own money). You basically buy stocks that a certain outcome will happen (ie Georgia over Auburn) and cash them in if you win. Each stock is worth $100 for a win and $0 for a loss. The price at which you buy the stock depends on the market. You can read more about it here: <a href='http://sports.usatoday.newsfutures.com/index.html' target='_blank'>http://sports.usatoday.newsfutures.com/index.html</a>
I really enjoy it, although it can get frustrating. I'm sure a lot of people lost money on the Texas/Texas Tech game today. It'll be a lot more fun now that college basketball is here. Nearly every big game (pro or college) is available. They also have other sports (America's Cup, Tennis, Golf, etc) as well as non-sports stuff. Check it out. It's addicting.

It's loads of fun. I went from about $6k on Thursday to $100k on Saturday evening by betting on college bball and football. I then dropped to about $20k by losing pro football games. How did the *&$%#@ Packers lose to the Vikings?!?!?
