New category
Can I have a new sub-category under the sports category for ICL and IPL questions. There are almost 15 put up every week and that will double by 18th april.
I’m indifferent

Inappropriate?NFL(15); NCAAF(2); MLB(19); NBA(25); NCAAB(16) and NHL(14). If these can have their own separate categories for a few measly(in brackets) questions, why can't ICL and IPL have a separate category? There are about 90 matches of these, and 2 questions per match means 180 questions(which is more than the sum of the above categories). A separate category is needed for more clarity.
I’m a smiley face.

Inappropriate?Well I think it is because the majority of users have never heard of the IPL or ICL. The ICL is what a couple years old, has only a few teams, and the sports you are comparing it to have international appeal. Any sporting event could have tons of questions created about it, during the super bowl there were close to 100 hundred "prop" bets. Lets take baseball, a question could be created about who wins, who scores first, will "x" number of runs be scored, who will winning pitcher be, how many home runs will be hit, how many singles, double, and on and on. You look at the number of Major League Baseball games everyday and the site could be flooded with markets. I think the important thing is to create questions and see how the response to them is. How much was gambled, were there more than 1 or 2 people moving a market. I wish Hubdub could show the number of participants in a market, that would help the question creators, know which markets were popular and which weren't.
I have no problem with the ICL or IPL questions, I don't know enough about them to wager money on them, so I don't. But if they are created with fair starting odds, then I think there is a place for them. Hopefully as the tagging system is rolled out, we will be able to only see questions we are interested in, and that would help plowing through the hundreds of new questions.
I created a couple questions about the March Madness and wish I could get statistics on it so I could know whether to spend the time creating more or not.

Inappropriate?"I wish Hubdub could show the number of participants in a market, that would help the question creators, know which markets were popular and which weren't."
Someday-maybe I was gonna make a suggestion that in the question "box" -- maybe next to the graph, or somewhere in there, have a line of text saying "nnn Other users have made predictions in this market"
Ideally, the number of users ("nnn") would be linked, and clicking on the link would show those users that have chosen to make their predictions on that question public.
Ideally ;-) the text would also include the total H$ predicted on the market (which, as we know, is different from the "Total Activity") -- so the ideal text would be:
nnn other HD users have made predictions in this market, totaling H$nnn,nnn
