If not I smell opportunity for Arabic-literate Wikipedians.

I received 25 queries last month. I wonder how many of such a query did the #1 received. Maybe two times that number. That would be 50. How many "prediction markets" queries do you need for you to say that it will "make the cut". How much time are we from there? Sorry to be to such a tough debater. I'm just a curious guy. (A sin, probably.) Hi Mike and the readers,

I’m #4 at Google for the “prediction markets” search query.

I received 25 queries last month. I wonder how many of such a query did the #1 received. Maybe two times that number. That would be 50.

How many “prediction markets” queries do you need for you to say that it will “make the cut”.

How much time are we from there?

Sorry to be to such a tough debater. I’m just a curious guy. (A sin, probably.)

Adding quotes obtains the same result, but mysteriously without related news articles. For your information I received 1,172 queries from www.google.com (and several hundred from other google domains) with no (or at least fewer than five) queries for "prediction market[s]" but 40 for "prediction" alone.

I also tried out the "prediction markets" phrase. Do you think it's because Google Trends does not take phrases (as opposed to single keywords)? For your infomation, in April, I received 1,252 queries from Google.com and only 25 of these were for the phrase "prediction markets" (and 8 for "prediction market"). Ciao bello! “Prediction market doesn’t make the cut, though I predict it will soon.”
