Sports betting getting a little too old for you? Do you need motivation to ace that mind-numbing class? Then you may want to swing by Ultrinsic, a website that will let students set wagers on their grades.
It all starts with having users sign up and give Ultrinsic access to their class schedules and school records. The site then uses these factors as well as other information that it can dig up on the classes and the students in order to calculate a certain grade. The student then decides how much he or she is willing to bet on it.
Needless to say, this has already sparked a debate among adults. Should this be considered as gambling and therefore be banned from campus? Or is it perfectly legit since students are relying solely on their skills and are betting on themselves?
