    Each "Saddam Capture December 2003" contract had a payout of $10 if he were to be captured or killed by Dec. 31. It was down as low as 30 cents but went up 3,000% when he got captured.

    An investor gets $10 if the event occurs as specified.

    50 cents: Bin Laden captured by Dec. 31

    $6.82: Bush reelected

    $3.40: Martha Stewart guilty

    $2.70: Kobe Bryant guilty

    $1.20: U.S. homeland alert orange Dec. 31

    20 cents: Arafat in exile by Dec. 31
