The Ticker, a stock market game sponsored by Gannett and powered by Huunu, correctly chose Johnny Manziel days before the announcement.  On Sunday, December 2, we placed questions to predict the top five candidates and an ‘other’ category to capture any dark horse candidates. Trading for Manziel almost immediately starting pushing his probability of winning upwards and never looked back.

By Tuesday, he was well over 70% likely to win according to our market.  With precision and speed, our market was able to produce accurate results.

For the second year running, not only did we accurately choose Johnny Manziel but we ranked the positions.  We brought the proven science of our prediction market algorithm to this online community and got it right.
