720, ahh... 7-20- World Extreme Day! That is the day to celebrate the extreme accomplishment of humanity.
Therefore, got a feeling there may be some earthquaking going on as well.

thnx mork for creating this question.
I read about this and thought about a market here, but could not figure out how to construct.
you certainly have made a decent question. kudos and all the baggage that goes with it.

you mean like a pig's tail?
"Twirly"

how can one tell how much was wagered on by others in this question? just curious... any help greatly appreciated.
great one mork! lol... if you don't use it somebody has got to and it may be me. very visually descriptive of my hubdub personah...ha...ha...

uh oh... this one is ripe for a suspension if one of the players listed is tied with "Other MLB Player"
oh, darn, let's just hope it don't happen, or Eeyore will kick in and moan " it'll never work"

lol! great comment bayoubear! thinking that in me 'ead when I first read the Q and searched in settlement details to see if there was a limit on how many times allowed to buy and sell this market while active.
I also like that word predictino, even if it was not intended. slip o' the keys kudos fer sure then!

great comment LL! yup, hubdub does have the meth effect. gamblin' fool that I be.
makes me feel like a kid agin playing here.
I've been here on this planut just a tad before J.F.K. was killed.
we still are in the runnin' for a spot on 110. landing friday. the odds of that are pret much

I love this one. the structure, format, & fact that it closes well before market close.
perfect question. yee haa!

this is an interesting question, go jers!, er ah cognos.
but, all your predictions have to be made public or this question unquestionably has to be void.
the only real way to gage your climb to H$10K
I wanna put the dough on "before 420", but it just don't seem a lick a fair to others
not knowing where you be rubbing your crystal ball.

this has turned into a real fun question because of the limit to these 4 teams. the 10 spot is close tonight if STL loses to MIL and KC or BAL win, it's a horse race at 9 a piece. doesnt look good though,
TOR 9 BAL 3 bottom of 8th. KC 6 SEA 11 top ' the 9th.
this is the hubdub effect to me, most attention I've given to following MLB in my life.
in the future, perhaps clarify issue on settlement time or a 2 or more option if the win=X happens on the same game day.

thnx for askin' LadyLara. yup, I musta bet after you- my odds were 3.29% - H$2308 for a $76 wager.
for more potential grins, today put in a bid of H$33 at 1.65% for a $1998 return. woo hoo!
it could happen...:)

I was suprised this settled as 3.39 and above as per the laws of hubdubland and settlement details. coulda shoulda woulda outcomes been written a little tighter.
ah, but the fact remains - bayoubear creates incredible questions indeed.

the even crazier thing about those coupon auctions on ebay is alot of them are sold and closed.
there are these bundles of coupons people sell all the time, I was amazed at this phenom.

Oops, I may be misunderstood again. I did not mean to sound mean, and no way want you to think accusations of gaming are afoot. it was just that, well...I meant to get a point across that the bicycle "vandelism" should not settle this question. your creation was right on with odds and everything else. regretts my writing is misconstrued. glad to see this market still open. hopefully it will settle proper.
and kudos to all users above for the comments,input to make it a clean, concise question.

dan, there is no reference to any spitzer question. words mean things and the word spitzered stands alone.
look it up in the hubdub dictionary. your definition of terrorism would mean that every week there is an act or 2 or more of terrorism on U.S. soil. so why should this market ever have been in play? it should be flagged, not wagered on because it is a gamed question, so honest upright "users" of hubdub are not tempted to cheat by wagering on questions like this. acts of terrorism as per your definition happen all the time in the U.S.
shame on anyone who wagers on this market and did not flag it. the starting odds were waaay off. the "yes" should have started at 95% as per your definition. hubdub needs clean concise clarity.

I have no H dough in this, just happened by. when reading the title I knew this could be a powder keg o' trouble just waiting to get SPITZERED here. problem is there is no clear
definition of "suffer another terrorist attack", at first glance I figured this means civilian casualty and or destruction above certain dollar amount. this market is too vague for hd community to settle. reading the requests to settle makes me think this Q will either get void so that more clear details can be spelled out in the refined version. in all honesty, until it is clarified by mork what the sprit of the question is. only the spirit of the question does not count in hubdubland.
we need it clear, concise, non-contentious and inarguable. or we wither and fail. miserably.

this denial by him is precious; "has denied any Nazi connotations to the affair." wha? shameful to deny.
though he has a point regarding personal privacy, when one is in the position he was ( yea, he will canned) in, ya gotta be prepared to get fired or step down for your actions in private life. just ask former Guv. Spitzer.

Great headline, 'searcher!
I hope the hubdub powers that be do not settle these until all the quakes are in. that screenshot idea is wrong.
the market clearly states: how many quakes on this given day? not some frozen shot of time.
we wait 48 hrs, as will be clearly spelled out from now on. nobody allowed to request settlement until 2 full days after the date of market in question. This question must not be settled until after 10 April.

edogg, great comment on the market playing with our wagers here! it has been so close till the end.
and the "will it end up today?" crazy down to the wire!

cute question here, certainly brought back memories of that time.
since all outcomes were not available(they don't sing)
I suggest creating a new one and this prob. has to be void for that reason.

Good Question, Orlin! thanx for creating.
The only way this market is 50/50 starting odds is if the question is asking will the spacecraft launch exactly as scheduled for 8 April, 2008. Launch time: 11:16 GMT (7:16 a.m. EDT)
Launch site: Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakhstan
if it launches 1 minute before or later, this question has to be settled "no" or the starting odds should be
more appropriate to the likely outcome.
what if it closes at exactly 105.? have to be a void. not likely but this is hubdubland...
good question by the way, lucid! love the 4:20 suspend time. it's always 4:20 somewhere...

and I thought I was alone on this... it has become obvious that the ICL markets were skewed, but nothing was being done. took the wind outta my hubdub sails. would be fun to challenge folks ability to predict outcomes
on events that are established reasonably and with an educated beginning odd spread. In all fairness and upstanding sportsman-like honest competition. Imagine a site where that could happen!
Certainly will not happen here the way things are going...

Good call jenniandboys! I recall the count for 28 march to be 10 now it is 11.
we should still suspend wagering at current time, but settle after all the quakes are in.
I am open to any reasonable time period. perhaps a day or 2 would do it.

compelling question here. I believe it is open for players to wager, but for the first 12 hours, no players can cash in & is off limits for wagering by the creator during that time to minimize "gaming"

yes, this has expanded my view as well.
this is not a pithy post, but won't shy from that spanking.
watch for more earthquake markets as i have the approval from the ingenious creators.
hope to establish reasonable researched odds.

now, it has been advised that I look into my addiction here in hubdubland, thanks.
I conclude I gotta layoff for a few because I found a word missing on this page that we all frequent.

in the upper right box "how does this work?" can ya find what word is missing?
must've been in the grips, the wagering spell, dazed and somehow caught it. why I was reading the instructions probably indicates how bad my addiction is.
made me realize I need to walk away from the pipe- 'er, the screen...sigh...shiver...
so, for now I spare you my blithering babble and hope to return someday with more pithy posts.

That is remarkable meanderingsearcher. was that the 26 Dec. 2004 Sumatra Quake? thanks to the exposure here,I will be looking for the big red one coming sometime in this life. that is, if I live out my estimated life-span. oops, I read my comment (#6) and realize it might sound like I enjoy earthquakes. which is as far from the facts, the truth as possible. I am in awe, awe struck. ever since Oct. 1989 while living in Walnut Creek, Ca. being in that quake changed the course of my life immensely. Seeing first hand the freeway that collapsed in Oakland. burned in my brain for the rest of my life.
could have used a better word to describe my interest and captivation. I have a few HD on this outcome being
16-20 so here's to hopin' few if any more will erupt above M5.
now next week, we'll see what the odds are at :-)

yea, there I was, trying to make a quick quid on this and it has to up and get itself void for all the
right reasons. Well researched, inarguable, concise conclusion.
suppose I'll try to make a Maggie elsewhere.

oh wait, dum dum me, gotta get that second pot o' java in. only 95 will result in that outcome. I say let it ride and see if it lands on 95. how about a market just for that outcome for fun...
addendumdumdum: if the final quake count is 86-99 OR 101-105,
will both of those predictions win because of that pesky 95?

I regret being so crappy crabby yesterday, please accept my chagrin for this behavior. woke up to 10 degrees f.
and the maple sap buckets were frozen, no excuse, just wont happen again.(right now it's icy windy snowing and 33f., heat wave!)

thanks for the suggestion to check out the bulletins, I learned alot about what those are knowing absolute zero before you tipped me in that direction.
remember what happens when the number 9 gets involved. a real scene stealer, like gravity...

nice call newswrangler, good market idea rohan. eventually we will get a clean one. thanks for putting in the time to create
does this market include alaska? if so, then it has to be void. rohan, love your questions, love your comments, but if this does include alaska, well the starting percentage should be:
more than 55= 55% at least.
more than 55= 55% at least.
heyy_joe, I am curious how was this question worded originally by you. it probably was more compelling.
could you be so kind as to post your original question and how it was worded? the editors seem to take
improper liberty with questions for their own personal entertainment and not to actually edit for clarity.
one of mine got butchered in the backround for no reason. was rather chagrined.

thanks Andrew, remember this while in your position of power:
Common sense is not very common.
there is a plethora of predictions allowed here with settled outcomes that have
nothing in common with
sense.

9 possible outcomes should have 4 below and 4 above with one in the previous close range.
look at what 12,400 and above odds were to start. bad sloppy sad dismal and uncouth.

I predict the response to this slopy lame settlemenrt will be:
sorry but we have no provision for undoing a settled outcome
even if it was settled wrong, cheers.

rohan I have a quote from the voided earthquake link above:
'I also don't have any provision to settle a market with two winning outcomes."
so why did this market settle? we need answers!
getting real dissapointing here. investers in any future of hubdub are gonna flee like rats from a sinking ship.

this has to be void, remember the earthquake market and how that was settled:
http://www.hubdub.com/e/Market/World_Wide_how_many_40_or_greater_earthquakes_will_there_be_on_Mar_22_2008_4561
number 9... number 9... number 9
please void this as well.

why does this market close an hour after the index opens?

I know sdchargers that it wasnt you, its that since 8 March the consensus was to suspend all these questions at or before tipoff, cointoss, or "batter up!" http://www.hubdub.com/e/Market/Who_will_win_the_UNC_vs_Duke_mens_basketball_game_on_March_8th_3518
But, last night a dandy Q was suspended 1 hour before start while another as you noticed was open till
way after game over.

This one suspends 15 minutes after tip off. don't give me that junk about not being on DST here,
I got burned because of that false believe by editors.
please change this one to correct suspension of 1:45 PDT

Thanks for at least trying with the resource you have. appreciate the detailed 'splenation why you can't settle it. camicius, wil you create more of these, or can I if you not the time? I need your permission please
tip off time set for 11:40 PDT which hubdub is DST(Y2K)compliant now.
mrperfkt, you have it set to suspend at
Suspend date: Today 3pm PST (8 hours), did you do this or is this the hubdub rub? you commented setting it for noon... the editors here are dropping the ball on a number of these. makes the site sloppy.

Playing Basketball at Iron Mountain High School, Tom Izzo missed a free throw that cost his team a big game. And since that moment, he’s shot 100 free throws every day.

realize i am an imbecile for that first comment. "to" means up to and including.
exciting to me counting these quakes. would love to see more of these of all stripes and parameters.

nice sluething rohan, no wonder you know Moore's law. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moore%27s_Law
I'll wager you know the more obscure Mooers' law http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mooers%27_Law
so what is the verdict here? has someone coded the crack?
those users sure seem suspicious, thanks to rohan. it reeks of uncouth ethics to me.

I vote to keep it open an hopin' that Michigan can develop a democratic contest to the effect that theonecalledmichael suggests. Folks up here can get creative when it comes to us being counted.
Then, this gets settled "yes"
hooray cha-ching!

If 9 Quakes M4.0 or greater today happen, I hope both 7-9 (blue bar) and 9-12(yellow bar) win!

nice edit donal. couple of letters too many, though. in the title, please remove the n from "then"
and change the word "and" after Denver to "as"

Nice visual on the graph sideways.
Looks like 2 human profiles facing each other.
I am of the impression one the goals is to try and make distinctive compelling picto-graphs.
This one here is a keeper.
Cultural rorschach perhaps.

a series of tubes the internet is. love the intertoob innertube reference duckie.
sweet mysteries revealed how Craig Newmark and his crew have made this portaltube so popular.
below is a cut from an interview found in a tube:
Bankrate: Since there are no ads, where does the income derive from?
Craig Newmark: We charge job posters in the San Francisco area for job postings.
Bankrate: Only in San Francisco?
Craig Newmark: Correct. We're considering charging recruiters and employers in New York, maybe Los Angeles, but that's it. About two, three years ago, we asked the Craig's List community what it was appropriate to charge for, and they told us to charge for job postings and apartment postings, and that's about it.

perhaps even a "Dr. Smithed" after big losses - oh, the pain the pain.
and maybe it could be called "Cartmaned" instead of "pics4ded"
-screw you guys, i'm going home.
because I do hope pics, you stay. if only for my $H gain and your insight.

well things are certainly being dragged to the next level.
thanks for all the highlights to advanced hubdub interactions and factions.
fistinction et al, love 'em. somehow gotta fit "LUUCY" in there. aww, Ricki.

I agree it is vague. in what context does he use the "R" word? gonna get contentious here without some clarify.
glad to read your back. was sad to read about the ruckus n such. I've been real tempted to leave here, but as you eloquently state:
...i have not enough of a life and the drugs are too good here."
that be my curse aswell.
the freshly minted term: "spitzer" a settlement has got to make it into permenant hubdub vernacular.
nice phrase meanderingsearcher
