(I have >1100 predictions registered on PB.com and >=240 judged so far; I can’t say I’ve noticed any especial domain-related correlations.)
Note that there are some large classes of predictions which by nature will strongly cluster and won’t show up until a fair bit in the future. For example there are various AI related predictions going about 100 years out. You’ve placed bets on 12 of them by my count. They strongly correlate with each other (for example general AI by 2018 and general AI by 2030). For that sort of issue it is very hard to notice domain related correlation when almost nothing in the domain has reached its judgement date yet. There are other issues with this sort of thing as well, such as a variety of the long-term computational complexity predictions (I’m ignoring here the Dick Lipton short-term statements which everyone seems to think are just extremely optimistic.). Have there been enough different domains that have had a lot of questions that one could notice domain specific predictions?

All that is true—and why it was the last and least of my points, and in parentheses even.
