"Ultrinsic is a web-based platform for college students to wager on
their grades. Ultrinsic offers a selection of wagers that are
customized according to each student's current schedule and academic
history." Via Marginal Revolution:

good grades in graduate school, but my undergraduate GPA was poor
(2.9).
Update: Only available to undergraduates at NYU and U of Pennsylvania. Poop.
