Super Bowl XLII in-play questions
To date we have been following a policy of suspending sporting event questions before the sporting event begins.
For Superbowl XLII however, we will be letting some Super Bowl questions go
in-play. This means that they will be open for predictions during the game.
Here are the questions that will remain open during the game
Who will win Superbowl XLII?

Who will be leading at half-time in Superbowl XLII?

Inappropriate?Well....that was a great game
We would be interested to hear how you felt the in play questions worked....good idea or not?

Inappropriate?I am admitting that I made in play bets... things that at the time I had no chance in losing. That's what i've been thinking about and I think it should be allowed but after the event starts you just can only win a percent that you would normally. Like after the event starts lower the winnings by like 60-70% something like that.. so even if you are quick to go on and place a sure bet you may only win some low ammount like 30 dubdollars. Ya know... you get stuff for your effort but it's not equal to the person who bet the day before. I do think you should be able to cash out ANYTIME you want. I did that and only cut a loss by 8

Inappropriate?I thought it was awesome. It was really interesting that the Patriot's price held up even when they were behind. And in the 4th quarter when they started to get momentum it really shot up. I'm hoping to do a blog post which mapping the events of the game to the price.
(If you are checking the price chart, note there is a bug in it, in that it is currently reporting in GMT - we're fixing that now)
I’m happy

Inappropriate?That was really fun. Many thanks and congratulations to Donal for an excellent job done. You not only suspended predictions in good time, but you also settled them very swiftly. The only extremely minor quibble I had was that the MVP question was suspended with 1 second left in the game, but minutes before the announcement.
Was I the only person to have fairly major connection/update slowdowns with the HubDub site during the game (especially during the last 10 minutes)? If not, then that might be a factor to consider for future in-play events (can you say Beijing Olympics :-) ?).
The idea from drdavin that in-play is unfair to early predictors might suggest having in-play markets kept separate from regular questions (ie you could have both at once, with IN-PLAY questions clearly labelled as such). After all, in-play needs to be monitored for suspension when the end time is not known in advance. So these should maybe only be creatable by the Editor or their monitoring delegates, thereby restricting the number of these to occur.
I was going crazy there in the second half, picking and discarding MVP options, who would win, and whether or not the last two minutes would contain the winning play. It was a blast. Like playing a video game.
(I would have loved to be able to filter out the non-game open questions during the game though.)
I’m ecstatic. I doubled my net worth on that game.
