I don't know enough about the American system to pose one properly.

Michael-
Are you watching the US Open? I saw some of your predictions on Woods. He is off to a terrible start with double-bogey and bogey on first 2 holes and showing signs of pain in his knee.
Good thing is, its still early and he is only 2 shots back. He was 5 shots back with 6 holes to play in round 3 and finished in the lead so there is still hope.
I thought he wouldn't give up the lead once he got it on the 18th hole in round 3. Now that he has early in round 4 sure makes things interesting.
Hope your bets, and Tiger comes through for you.

You had me up until...laissez-faire... to me that more closely aligns with a primarily Libertarian slant than the manifestations/tendancies of EITHER the Republican or Democratic parties. I WISH goverment would leave us alone to our own devices more, but sadly I see both parties competiting with each other to see how much of our lives can be micromanaged by Big Bovt in the form of eroding liberties and increasing tax burdens.

Sorry again man, I we both coulda won :-/

C'mon Michael, be real.
A. If she had conceded Fri. or Sat. the question still would have been No
2. In the speech today she said" today, as I suspend my campaign", and the scroll at the bottom said "Sen. Hillary Clinton suspending campaign and endorsing Obama".
How much proof do you need? Adios.

Hey Michael, Thanks for the challenge...I'll look forward to betting on it when it's ready to go...
Meanwhile DESTRY RIDES AGAIN! (Famous early western movie and GREAT broadway musical). Andy Griffith did the musical on broadway. I saw it with Tom Postum (tv celeb) and Yvonne De Carlo (the munsters). Famous line from DESTRY the musical: "When God put in your brains with a teaspoon, sum'buddy 'shore joggled His hand!"

What a neat avatar! Great black humor...!
There was a cool film noir in the 1960s with an all-star cast (for the time) called THE LOVED ONES. It was billed as SOMETHING TO OFFEND EVERYONE...If you haven't seen this film, a few specialist collector video shops still have this available on VHS to rent.
Anyway, your dark horse avatar deserves THE HUBDUB PEOPLE'S CHOICE AWARD!

the all time leaders will have to have at least $H200k to knock him off the top twenty. 'but', 'if', some of jers wagers pan out, he'll have over a $H1m before summers out.

just a loss of 1.8K
i could compensate the loss on the first DIJA by winning on the second ...
not very satisfying though.
better luck next week maybe :)

One thing that has helped me, is to not have TOO many predictions at one time, neither have too few. ... I try to keep it around 6 - 12 questions bet on at a time with multiple entry points, more then that and I lose total track of my predictions and end up in the dump, also, if I have less then say 5 questions I'm betting on, then my swings seem to be WAY too huge and that doesn't work well either.
I dunno if that helps, but there ya go :-D
One final tip, if you are getting frustrated with your picks, then get rid of them ALL, just sit back for a day or two, read posts, create questions, etc, and then jump back in. That helped me a while back, I got stuck at around $15k and just wasn't much fun, so I back off, had like only my BEST 3 picks still going, held allot of cash for a day or two, and now I don't have enough money to bet on my picks :-D .... Just don't get frustrated and bet it ALL on red, if you know what I mean.

TOCM,
Hahahaha, you said stupid an awful lot just now, hahahahahaha :-D But alas I disagree with your stupid assessment (pun intended, hehe) asI have bet realllllly stupid 3 times and now am paying for it, like for every GREAT bet I've made this past week, I've had 2 go sideways on me and am getting NOwhere fast! ... If this were a race on a treadmill, then I'd be doing GREAT physically but terrible spatially, running my virtual butt off and getting absolutely no further ahead then the other treadmiller walking at a leisurely pace. But, since it is not a running in step contest, I am doing awful :-P
Hey, we should start a club, for all the addicted HubDubbers who play their hearts out but never make it to the big leagues, yano, like Rudy :-P
Better yet, scratch that idea ;-)

Thank you ever so much for the nice words Michael. It means allot to me. I do not intend to be a nuisance, I am just passionate when it comes to fraud, injustice, greed, integrity, etc. I enjoy this site too much to just sit back and let certain unethical parties just have their way with it! ... I believe that the admins desire for our input, especially in circumstances like these, because they also want a good successful site that millions can one day enjoy, and though the growing pains are evident and the admins are struggling in some areas, I do totally believe that they understand our frustrations and they are frustrated by these events too. So again, I think they want us to keep this sort of input coming to them, when problems occur, otherwise, they know full well that if we the users bail on the site, then this is just another dotcom taking up blank pages in cyberspace, and they do not want that.
Thanks man and btw, you've added another $300 bucks to your lead over me since we last talked, hahahaha, you turkey!

Mike, I was lamenting to friends on April 1st about not getting any decent April fool's jokes, while at the same time very seriously plunging $300 on Larry Flynt publishing nude photos of female Fox news reports unless Fox stopped trashing Democrat candidates..
