Which number will be least chosen before the suspend date?

Background: I had the question the other way around but it was too easy to game, this way around might be different.

Editor's clarification: I understand the question creator's intention is to settle on the option that has the lowest percentage on the suspension date. That is the way it will be settled.

Settlement details:As reported by a major mainstream news source.

0 (Who wants zero?)

what shall be evaluated to settle this question?

1) total number of bets on a number, eg, which number has the least number of predictions
2) number of distinct users betting on a number, eg. which number has the least number of users predicting
3) amount of HD$, eg. which number has the least amount of HD$ on it

The answer with the smallest percentage seems to be the intended option to settle on.

This is going to be a squeaker. It will probably be a cash-out fest in the hours leading up to suspension as the numbers race to the bottom.

Do one of these with a closing in a week so we don't have to wait four months.

Good on ya for not giving up - I don't see how this one could be gamed easily, there's too many options to manipulate to get to the answer you want, so nice work corbally.

But I agree with tgallag, it should suspend a lot earlier to make it more exciting!!

Whoa! $12765 wagered and we are still at 10% across bd (save for twitchy 2 at 12%). Let's see- how to make them all up but mine? :)

Ed states : "I understand the question creator's intention is to settle on the option that has the lowest percentage on the suspension date. That is the way it will be settled".

Will that include decimal places? If not, the chance of two or more numbers sharing the tag of 'lowest' seems pretty high...

I'll have to check to decimal places. Gives that element of uncertainty don't you think? :-)

It would be great to have the ability to a short position. http://bit.ly/Ryp1n

Charlesf prompted me to change the question around, thanks Charlesf I would never have thought of it. Its probably the most unusual question on hubdub?
posted 12 weeks ago
Unusual and totally unnewsworthy. Lucky for you people it's not in Destry's category. He'd have voided it.

No news but fun. Makes more sense to me than voting on sports!

Did he void your Amateur Porn site question lol?

Man this question is addictive; I'm sure there's a way to milk this question for 0.5% moves in odds, but it involves sitting here hitting refresh every 30 seconds...
