There is much rejoicing in the NJ Horseplayer camp tonight on the heels of a maiden-breaking first-place finish in the twilight NHC Preliminary Feeder tournament on HorseTourneys.com Wednesday.

Beating the 75-player field puts me in an upcoming $195 play-in tournament (players can either pay this entry fee in full, or finish in the top 10% of such $20-entry fee "feeders"), where at least three NHC Tour members will have a shot at a berth in National Handicapping Championship XIV in Vegas.

Prizes aren't a panacea. They won't replace corporate R&D labs or universities. Some problems -- a cure for cancer -- are just too big. Some require too much upfront investment. Some scientists are reluctant to admit defeat and surrender a problem.

Moreover, the secrecy on which businesses insist to protect intellectual-property rights has its downsides: "People are in a black hole," says Harvard's Mr. Lakhani. "They don't know anything beside whether they won or lost." Losers' knowledge isn't widely shared.

But prizes work in ways that conventional R&D doesn't, and finding ways to spur innovation is crucial to improving how well we -- and our children and grandchildren -- live.
