Rohan,
Ouch man :-( ... I am sooooo sorry you are not dong so great this week. Man, that strike really set me back, hahaha, and not only that, it made me rusty for like the last 2 weeks man, I sooo lost my rhythm. I am still down after 2 grueling weeks of attempting to recover, it's like I'm running in place, hahaha :-P
Man, sorry I missed you at #2 for so long, I knew you were in Top 5 for sure, but didn't see #2 till today, well, now technically yesterday :-D
Man, just look at the bright side, you could still lose $521,336 and STILL be even with me, hahahahahaha, so yeah, I have a really large hill to climb :-D ... But I am up $5k from my low a few weeks back, so that's nice.
Good to have ya around and I've always loved your questions, bet on many of them too :-D

Just wanted to pop in and say Hey and Nice job on the #2 spot overall rankings! :-D ..... Isn't it amazing, we both have the same number of hours in our days, and have both been on HubDub as long (technically me 1 day longer) and yet, you are worth a whopping 30.3 TIMES as much as I am :-P

i completed that challenge and i bet on 0-50.anyway dont care about fancy fonts much.looks like satyaki has loyal followers(lucidstates).he seems quite popular here.which books are u carrying tom?
Mork and Destry have pledged to NOT play this game any further until a satisfactory conclusion is made concerning Satyaki's cheating ... PLEASE follow this link and ask ALL of your (friends) to use this link to send hubdub's admins an email of protest over this unethical situation!
http://www.hubdub.com/public/contact
^ There's an email form on that page ^
Please do not be mean, or cruel, or obscene, or anything like that, but please make it clear that this situation MUST be resolved and resolved ASAP!
A sample letter may be as simple as this (please send whatever you feel, this is just an outline):
To HubDub Administrators: In Protest of the "Satyaki" problem.
I (username) proclaim at this moment, that I will not wager another Hdollar nor create any further questions on Hubdub, until this matter is settled.
I believe that it is my right as a member of this site, to expect the highest level of integrity on the part of hubdubs administrators and that even though it is still in beta form, this does not make right the decision on your parts to allow cheaters to prosper at the expense of the rest of the hubdub community.
I believe that cheating is wrong and any known cheating must be disciplined as soon as it becomes known and not allowed to fester. This lack of ethical conduct on the part of the cheater in question is not being dealt with ethically by hubdub, therefore, I am renouncing my support of hubdub.com entirely, until a fair conclusion to this matter has been decided and acted upon up to and possibly including the removal of (Satyaki) from membership.
It is my concrete belief that the legitimacy and reputation of this entire game is at stake and I will no longer participate in a game that is "fixed" against the ethical and rules following players, and placed in the favor of unethical and rule breaking members.
I declare to you admins, that you have treated ALL legitimate hubdubbers in an unethical manner, you have disrespected those who love and support the game and have potentially fed a "gaming" environment that actually encourages cheating against the upright in this hubdub community.
Until this issue is resolved in an agreeable manner, you have lost (username) as a loyal member of this site and I will no longer sing the praises of hubdub.com to anyone, nor invite anyone I know to join, until this matter is resolved.
Sincerely,
(username)

I do not know if that is a good letter, but I do encourage ALL members to send "A" letter to hubdub immediately, or else we are just spinning our wheels and I desperately do NOT want to lose this awesome site, especially do to a punk like (Satyaki)!!! If this was any other social networking site, he'd have been banned by now!
And then go to this link and post a protest as well and HELP the HubDub Community regain it's integrity!

First: We'll see if they manage to really start over the quarterly leaderboard
Second: Yes, I know you're looking forward to it, but do you really believe you will be able to beat crudsy? B)=
Note: It is absolute gain, not relative gain on that leaderboard.
Anyway, I'll wait a few days until the leaderboard is getting reset.

What's the point in your leaderboard question? Why do you think it isn't likely crusdy is still on top than?
Yes I do realize that. But 1) it takes hd$ to make hd$ and crudsy has lots of it and 2) people are used to him being in the lead so I think a lot of other people will bet on him. (Thus I get to make some easy hd$). No criticism on your odds.
well I'm not from the US, obviously.

Twas' the night before New Quarter
And all through the house
Not a creature was stirring
Not even all those nice Scottish Lads and Lasses in a different timezone who sleep while all the really neat stuff happens on American tv, although they never seem to miss the superbowl or debates LIVE...
I hope that JOLLY OLD SAINT NEW QUARTER is good to you!
Season's Greetings and Best Wishes

forgot to include ... if the full list was used (which is what I thought it meant), the "winning prediction" would be "5" rather than "4".
OK -- I hear what you are saying -- even though the Times' publication date practice makes no sense to me :-|
I just saw the Settlement for the question (which I won - yea! ;-)
If you do another question like it, it might be good to reference "top 5" on the "Bestsellers list" -- as it appears the "Bestsellers list" has 15 books on it.
Time to head for Starbucks and read the Times ... well some of it! ;-)

Ummm ... I'm still confused ... I understand you wanted the question to go for a week (that makes obvious sense ;-)
I looked at the list before I made predictions on the market (as I said then, BTW, I love this question!) -- but I don't recall noticing or paying any attention to what "date was on the page ... back then when I looked. (I made my predictions on March 15th -- so it's been two weeks, or so now.)
I just don't understand why the Times currently shows an April 6th date for their Best Seller List (Hardcover/Fiction) ... it strikes me as, at best, a "prediction into the future" -- which is not my experience of the NYT. Said differently, I would have anticipated seeing a date in this Sunday's NYT of "March 30, 2008".
Apologies if I'm repeating my question(s) to you ;-) -- obviously there's something here I just *don't get* ! ;-)

Hey! -- I just took a look at the NYT Best Seller list (re: your question), and noted the current page is dated "April 6, 2008". Is this normal, to be publishing a list "in advance" -- by more than a week?

Question: "Will the next release of Apple's Mac OS X software be 10.5.3 or 10.6?"
It was announced today that Apple has sent out the pre-release test version to testers and is set to release the 10.5.3 in late April or in May.
I bet on this one already, but it is a sure thing, since Apple is testing it and about to release it :-D

The letter comes one day after Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid seemed to suggest Democratic leaders were in the process of working out a deal to ensure the party's nomination fight does not go all the way to the convention.
"Things are being done," Reid told the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

It's a friendly Italian slang expression, wishing someone Good Luck:
Of course, Buona Fortuna is Good Fortune. If I know that you have to do something really, REALLY difficult between now and the next time I see you or talk to you, I wish you:
IN BOCCA AL LUPO!
(Literally: "in the mouth of the wolf", meaning: between now and the next time I see you, you must go THROUGH the mouth of the wolf and back without getting hurt).
And the standard reply is:
CREPA! (meaning: DROP DEAD!)

I get a sense on some of these markets being spiked right before close- spiked to an immprobable outcome for no good reason...

Could you please stop proving your superiority in HTML by not testing any more HTML on my profile ??
rohan, could you please not post spoilers, even as shouts? I just discovered the result of the Malaysian F1GP, that I had recorded, but not yet watched, via a shout you left on kruijs' profile. I'm not having a hissy fit over this, and I am a rare American F1 fan (since 1984), so I will still enjoy watching qualifying and the race, but I won't enjoy it as much as I would without knowing the outcome.

unlike ICL , IPL will have quality batsmen so better chances. ( they will also have better quality bowlers....darn it ,why didn't I think of that before)
Rohan - did you ever get a response on those multiple users with the same name (just a number off)? I'm hoping they can put in a filter to look for stuff like that automatically...
rohan, Since the HD admins proposal was rife with issues, and my proposal had issues as well, I've started a new discussion about quarterly HD issues @ http://getsatisfaction.com/hubdub/topics/hubdub_quarterly_reset_issues. Please contribute your thoughts.

Rohan, I proposed a different quarter ending scheme on the GetSatisfaction thread. I'd love to have your input.
I AM excited about being reset.
I just want to know if there will be a difference computation between cash reserves and predictions in hand. What I'm concerned with is while $H are easily added to 'all-time $H', if the predictions are simply scaled back, those $H would not be added to the all-time leaderboard. If that is the case, then I'll start dumping my positions for cash, and I really don't want to do that.
I dig satyaki and his blogging. I know he has been heavily fined. He has "done the time". But, his 'tuts' acct is still out there (not being used), and until it's completely removed, he may continue to get 'shouted' at over this issue.

Re: nemesis: Yeah, it is an account I use for testing and demoing. I was using this account for demoing but then I kept forgeting to cancel the prediction so I thought it would be best to just use a separate account.

Set the suspend times to the start the matches. All the american sports questions (NBA, NFL, NCAAB) have suspend dates corresponding to the start of the match. Indian Premier League Cricket should be no different

Re: Web Mission - Very eagle eyed on the press release. Yep, we were well chuffed to be selected. It is should be a lot of fun.
Whoa! It is a matter of diversifying my portfolio, a basic market strategy.
In some cases it was simply a matter of sitting up all night, find places to stash some money. I can't stand having that much cash doing absolutely nothing. In some cases, I placed positions on long-shots, just to get the market listed in the top 3 for a given market segment. Still doing that actually.

Hi rohan, I got your message about the BSE market on Mar 20th sadly I voided before I got it. I have just created a new market with identical details just on Mar 24th, when the BSE is open. You can find it here http://www.hubdub.com/e/Market/BSE_Sensex_Open_up_or_down_Mar_24th_4505/view
