My Predictions

How many users will receive the $20 sign in bonus on Monday July 14, 2008

Settled as 400 to 499

486 to be exact. The site is actually hollow which means it sounds like there are more users than there are.

Background:

Hubdub gives players a $20 credit for signing into Hubdub each day. So this market is asking how many players will sign in on Monday July 14, 2008.
This market obviously will need to be settled by the tech guys at Hubdub. I have absolutely no idea how many, so the odds are being set randomly.


Settlement details: As reported by the tech team at Hubdub.

AWESOME question ... I got some math for you guys:
We now have 8,246 registered users, therefore, according to current top prediction "100-199" the majority of people are saying that a mere 1.2% - 2.4% of ALL users will log onto this site within the 24 hour period of July 14th. That to me is crazy. Only 1 to 2 out of every 100 users? I think this is wayyyyy low. But I could be dead wrong! I'm willing to bet, and will :-P That it's closer to 5%+ of users, which would translate into 412 users at a flat 5%. But if say Israel or the US attacks Iran, we'll get way over 600, or say Oil tops $150/barrel, or the stock market falls 300 points, or Britney Spears dies in a car accident, again, I think many more will come, but that is pure guess work, but mathematically speaking, I am confident 5% of users will sign on sometime within 24 hours of next Monday :-D
