"Vested interest" can include all sorts of things: money, reputation, glory, play money, prestige, etc.

And there are all sorts of markets that use real money to trade predictions. They're called futures markets.

Futures markets deal with financial instruments, not predictions about stuff like when an iPhone nano will come out.
