My Predictions

At the end of March, which will be ranked higher: Google or Yahoo! (New and Improved!!)

Settled as Yahoo

http://siteanalytics.compete.com/yahoo.com+google.com/?metric=uv

Background:

The same question for the month of February drew H$260,860 of bets, and the end was close.Yahoo dropped by 2.1%, Google gained 0.1% ,it was settled as Yahoo! and I lost loads of money. What will be the rank at the end of March?

On comments from the voided question http://www.hubdub.com/e/Market/At_the_end_of_March_which_will_be_ranked_higher_Google_or_Yahoo_3793/view
Really nice market but the starting values are out. Yahoo is ahead in every month in the past 12 months. Estimate should be at least 80% Yahoo, 20% Google and no draw option.


Settlement details: As reported by http://siteanalytics.compete.com/yahoo.com+google.com/?metric=uv

I feel obligated to wager 1000 everytime yahoo gets to 40%. Worked last month lets hope it works again.

So I got 16k in this market which is 38k. Feels like I might be overexposed on this question.
