Incorrect settlement date on cricket test series
This is the question:
http://www.hubdub.com/e/Market/Who_wi...
The best source for these international cricket matches is cricinfo.com
In this case, this was a two game series which was decided on Mar 3. The bbc reference cited in the settlement is to the first game, not the series (which South Africa did win). Therefore the cut-off date of Feb 24th should have been Mar 3 or Mar 2. This refers to wagers after Feb 24th which were voided retroactively at time of settlement. The point being that the series was not decided on Feb 24th, but more than a week later.
Here's the results

Inappropriate?Agreed. I didn't read the question properly :(
I'll correct it in the morning -
Inappropriate?Thanks. Most of my wagers were in time for the cutoff, but there was a fair amount of activity between the two matches.
As to "misreading" the question, I made the exact same error after the first match (and in fact in predicting on it). I had to do a little web research to discover it was a series of matches, each over several days. This connects up with another discussion on-going here about clarifying questions with news links. In this case cricinfo.com might have been a better source, but most of all some explanation in the background text would have made things clearer. It would really help if people actually used this area to clarify their questions.
I’m thankful

Inappropriate?In this case clarification wouldn't have helped - i'm a cricket fan and know the difference between a test and a series quite well. It's really more a case of I-shouldn't-be-allowed-near-the-settle-button. But yes, credible sources which are covering what's intended, and a little background would be nice.
Interesting link btw - I'd never have thought to look at a espn site for cricket, but then I like my cricket coverage biased towards England so I always go straight for the BBC
I’m happy
