From helping out in the ticket office I have learnt that American Football is like Rugby League but tediously slow. I suppose this is only statistics so I could just guess from their relevant history.
No Rugby League for a couple of months after the World Cup but I have exams next week so maybe I should concentrate on them.

I see your still supporting the unbeatable Villa when they travel to the minnows.

Well thats the 100k barrier crossed. Unfortunately that means at 1k per game (which is all I can put on without wrecking the odds)and only 50 games ata weekend means I need to find someting to put my money in so it's hidden and not annoying me.

I know but I had 40-50% tied up in it and was praying to get it back so I could put some bets on this Saturday's games. At least I haven't lost it before the Champions League as if it wasn't for Tottenham (and the usual from Doncaster) I would of had a pretty mediocre weekend.
Getting a bit peeved with Doncaster, last year's top scorer has been left on bench most of the season. So he get's played (good), gets a penalty (good) and then hits it at the goalkeeper before casually heading the rebound into the keepers arms. I think I may become an Aston Villa fan just so I can in money betting against them as well.

The following question needs amending, sorry

Could you do me two favours
- can the following question suspend date be changed to Sun 1st March at 18:00 GMT as time and venue (Elland Road) confirmed. I would hit the flag for review but it won't let me.
- can the following be settled as it is holding on to half my hubdubs.

Yep, worked out the comma thing by the third question.
Villa did not f you royally, that would have been you predicting Villa to win away at the Premiership leaders. Now at 2% it might have been worth a punt but seriously

The leaderboards look good but I would say that as I am in the top ten for both. I would say I like the fact it's based on percentage rather than value as it always seemed annoying that the main leaderboards are done the other way. I would now be lying because your system has newbie Snem above me and I'm gutted.

As for messing with the algorithms, is this why I only have a 0.7% gain despite putting on 40% in the last 7 days. Off to lose some more monry on Doncaster, maybe they will draw this time.

I don't think its just me shaming bids upon Aston Villa. As for below you on the quarterly gains I am 300% up on you but you will soon if I keep putting money on Doncaster ( I just keep thinking they have to win sometime).

woo

I am now only 12 hubdub short of http://www.hubdub.com/users/tomg. New challenge please?

Doncaster is a mistake I promised myself I wouldn't repeat but just did. I liked our manager's comments that having a player sent off helped them to do what they had set out to do, which seemed to be beating us.
I now am awaiting the pay out on the Championship games so I can reinvest my winnings.

Oy you get your championship questions sorted. I have hubdubs waiting to be lost

You better start putting pictures on your markets, 'cause I'm not doing that again!

Weekly % gain jamest (you) +47.9%

Even with more weeks like this it will be a year or twobefore I catch up.

The reason Wakefield are at 1% when you put money on them was because they were already out. Are you banking on Hull being thrown out?

Chris, didn't mean to challenge you on the Ronaldo one, but do you know if a decision has been made on whether it is who owns him at the beginning of the season or where he actually 'plays'

Chris,

Is something wrong with the home page, can't drill down on most recent, most active, comments, etc.

Cheers for the TIME Prediction

Is it April Fools Day in Brazil? That photo looks Shopped to me, and there's no news item to prove it really happened. I still put money on it though.

Thanks for the compliment, and promoting my question about the Brazilian priest.

Beating you by 0.1%. It is a sliver but marks the first step to global world domination!

Thanks for the help Chris!

If you can, please check your contact forms

The NUT may go on strike, but I'm not and nor is my school!

Hey that didn't last long. Did you find a fault in the algorithm? I'm still no 3 on World though. Do I drop back down to 3775 when Robert Mugabe gives up and I win my H$263?

I believe he's been offered political asylum in Tuvualu, if he brings his own wellies.

Oh, I bet on Mugabe going. Think I might leave that one on for a few more days.

Did you write the module especially for me? Thanks!

LOL. It's surprising, you being user number 1 and the founder of the site, and yet joining after him.

This isn't a problem, but take a look at this: http://www.hubdub.com/e/User/_207/view

Chris; This question :

no matter which browser I open it with, nothing below the options shows. I can't view the settlement details, and satyaki cant see them either. Could you do something?

Juhu! I'm allowed to call HubDubber #1 my friend :)

I want to be able to pimp my profile. I'm thinking white on black. I'm thinking crazy backgrounds. I'm thinking hilarious youtube video featuring a puppy

New design is good. I like the Friends Leaderboard: at last I get to be top, if only in politics and with you as my only friend.
