I just posted the following under the Preakness comments:
"I think we are trying to say -- in a nice way -- that if you want to do business in Japan (for example), you must be able to do business during Japanese hours. If you want to do business in the US, you must be able to keep your business up to date during American business hours.
Again, -- trying to say this nicely -- , can't you guys take turns burning the midnight oil in Scotland to keep your business settled and up to date?
Americans are very service oriented. We regard good service as an absolute requirement for corporate success. If we were trying to do business in Scotland, we would do the same for you...!"
yes, I did. I was certain to lose with 30 min to go. So I thought "what the heck" and put in another two cents.
In total I got 18K on that option, nothing on any other in the end.
3 min before close I just put an extra 10K on it: I gained a huge 80 H$ with that - hehe.
Hey mistahperfekto thanks for digging up the outcome to my fake bull testicle question - I did had a dig around, and couldn't find it online - appreciate your local sourcing. I mailed Destry, but for some reason he didn't respond! I'd be proud to live in a state with a senator nutty enough (sorry) to propose a ban on plastic testicles, which beats hands down fluffy dice in my opinion.
hehe, today was way better than yesterday (although i didn't have stakes at 5%, mine were at 30-40%, but i made around 15K with them alltogether).
btw: make your replies at my profile, i could miss them otherwise.
Had several questions going (close up or down; where will dow close; and point difference) and changed positions several times...overall, I'd guess I ended up up about H$20k :)
Most of that came with 1 or 2 questions though that I was able to wager on at around 5% or so. Was a pretty good day!
I've had plenty of really bad ones, so was nice to have a good day!
How did you do?
