Hi -- I wanted you to know about a change in the Suspend Time for a question you made predictions on -- in case you want to make any change to your predictions, etc.

Please see the comment in:

Hi :) Sorry, I only just saw your shout...I am incredibly unorganized.
& thanks! I'm almost certain there will be an 'October Surprise', but I guess it's another one of those elusive 'know it when you see it' thangs.
Cheers

I really like your fifth grader question and am looking forward to hearing the outcome. Unfortunately, it is pretaped, which is against hubdub rules. I am still sore that we had to eliminate the Deal or No Deal questions for the same reason, even though it is for the common good to avoid pretaped shows...The outcomes are definitely fun to bet on, but there are teasers out there and I reluctantly accept that there can be leaks...but these are fun shows to bet on.

Jenni is trying to figure out an exception for your question. That would be great if it could be done, but then we would have to look for an exception for EVERY pretaped show event outcome question...I would like to see the return of the Deal or No Deal questions but realize and accept the possible problems involved...

I remember a Time magazine article many years ago that chimed: Britannia rules the waves BUT Britannia also WAIVES THE RULES...

I think the spread will work better regular season. Preseason is a coin flip. Good luck.

Oh yeah you can count on that. I am anticipating a great year for LT and the chargers, and...you heard it hear first...Chargers vs Cowboys in this years superbowl :)

Hey MrP-
Everything is cool, your observant noticing I usually post em a few days ahead of time. I was actually waiting to see if anyone else wanted to post some. I hope these questions aren't too much of a hassle. It takes me less than 5 minutes to request the settlements on all of them each day- hopefully settling them is as easy for you.
Recently, however, you have already settled most of them by the time I log on at night and I haven't had to put in the settlement request. Thanks for that.

Thanks for the shout and letting me know you like the challenges. I wouldnt want people to feel bombarded with challenges, so I dont send out challenges for every question (or to everyone on my list either). Also, I wouldnt be offended by anyone not accepting them. Additionally, I wouldnt want you to compromise your position by accepting the ones you should steer clear of.
As far as the o/u football ones, I think I will continue to create them. They have already gotten alot of action and I am anticipating more with the start of the regular season.
Thanks again, GOOD LUCK

Are you a UF fan?

@ mrperfkt,

Regarding my old market:

http://www.hubdub.com/m7005/Of_the_35_competing_national_teams_within_the_North_Central_American__Caribbean_Continental_Zone_trying_to_get_to_the_2010_World_Cup_in_South_Africa_that_have_red_white_and_blue_prominentaly_in_their_flags_how_many_will_make_it_to_the_qualifying_round

Honestly, there are many people on this site that are much more conversant of the mechanics of the World Cup than I am, but I THINK, if I'm reading the website properly at:

http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/preliminaries/nccamerica/standings/index.html

That this original field of 35 countries has been narrowed to a field of 12 now. I believe there is an additional round of matches before that will determine the participating teams competing at the 2010 World Cup Tournament in Africa.

I was trying to forecast, from this original batch of 35 countries, how many would actually play IN the tournament, in Africa, and how many of THOSE teams would have red, white and blue in their flags.

Thus far it looks like this:

1. Cuba – yes
2. Guatemala – no
3. Trinidad & Tobago – yes
4. USA – yes
5. Canada – no
6. Honduras – no
7. Jamaica – no
8. Mexico – no
9. Costa Rica – yes
10. El Salvador – no
11. Haiti – yes
12. Suriname – no

That would be 5 of the remaining 12 have red, white and blue. Admittedly, I may have completely misunderstood the logic and protocols for this event, if I have, I apologize. I hope this explains what my intent was. Feel free to probe further if this remains unclear.

Guess it’s obvious that these types of markets helped to usher in the 90 and then 100 character market size threshold, eh? lol

If you need me to paste this in the comments part of my market, I can do that, I didn't only because it seemed long and cumbersome.

Fantastic news! Thrilled to see the A next to your name, very well deserved.

Great to see you are now an admin!

Hey there. Look forward to chatting more. I am just across the state in Port Charlotte.

Honestly, I thought we were already friends -- I was really surprised to find you weren't on my list. I appreciate your questions and comments as well!

Congratulations on your wedding. Tri and I are about to hit lucky number 6 -- marriage is pretty fantastic.

I'm very happy for both of you. Great idea to share the fun and joys of Hubdub!! Not everyone is that lucky...

Heartiest Congratulations on a Great Event! We have a new family on hubdub. I noticed mrsprfct a couple of places and wondered if she was related to you...Great Going and Best Wishes to both of you!!

Thanks, and that's was the value of the existing wagers on my open markets this morning, I have another $1.3M HD that have already settled.

I liked your question and was sorry to see that it was voided. I sympathize with your thinking and what appears to be superusers trying to control questions. And we are still only in the "suspend" phase...

lol

now thát avatar made me laugh!

Wow!! Another great avatar...where do you find them??!!

Ice, ice, baby.

= )

Marriage? Won't be see you for a while.

Thanks for investigating on the GTA4 Q. I feared it would never be settled ...
Hope you made a good gain :)

Noles Fan? Hurricanes fan here. We could have some fun.

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...!"

HI Friend! Very neat avatar!! You and mork come up with the best...

HEY, NO FAIR....you've got a gif!!!! I dig it!

oh cool avatar, btw.

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?

how much did you make on DJI questions today?!

Hey there. Long time no see. Looks like you are building that wealth again. I have wagered on alot of your questions. Keep up the good work.
