A comment on the idea "In Play markets" in Hubdub:

Ummm. Maybe I just thought about it 'too much'.
It seems like the wagering can continue allthough the 'event' has started, so to speak. So, it has the 'feel' of an in-play market.
But, as jenniandboys said, these markets also 'feel' like those that address 'seasons' as opposed to individual games.

Again, I'm not opposed to having these markets voided, for any reason.

I'd just like some clear guidance before I re-create them, if neccessary. – Jerry's Just Trolling, on June 22, 2008 21:02

I whole-heartedly agree!
However, I've asked for guidance, and I get nothing. Since the NBA in-plays were allowed to continue, I figured a decision regarding those types of markets had been made. I also assumed, that being the category editor for sports, donal would have a chance to approve or disapprove (void) any questions that did not fit with hubdub's philosophy. If he approved, then he will create the appropriate 'in-play' tagged image, I hope.

Please guide me to the instructions for setting up 'in-play' suspension dates. I will follow them to the letter.

However, I did clearly note in the market background when the question 'should be' suspended, in accordance with this user's intent.

If any of these questions need to be voided, so be it. Just make sure they are all voided. Thank you.

@scottay ...
"but we can't wait 3 years for delta and northwest to complete a merger. "
we don't have to. We only have to wait until June 1st, 2008. Then, if the merger has been completed, we have a 'yes'. if not, we have a 'no'.

Pretty simple, eh?

I think we would have to apply whatever outcome is decided to this market as well ...

I have no money on this market and I feel it should be settled when announce that the merger has taken place, contrary to skipper's position.
Lot's of mergers, takeovers, etc., are announced, but some don't get done.
So, the question is "will (they) merge", not "when will they announce", with all good intentions, etc.

So, when the pictures are flashing, and another stock ticker bites the dust, that's when they are merged. jmho

Jerry's Just Trolling replied on April 10, 2008 12:55 to the discussion "(Almost) duplicate markets" in Hubdub:

First off ...

Dupe markets are a problem, and shouldn't be allowed.

The question becomes, "how close do the markets questions/posslble outcomes have to be in order to be classified as duplicate?"

I think it depends on the subject matter.

In the samples Jenniandboys provided, I think that while the creators ask the 'question' somewhat differently, they are dupes. One is yes/no, the other spreads the options over 3 multiple choices.

I prefer the question where there are 3 choices in the case of the DOW, but for other markets the yes/no options are best.

It should be left up to the category admin to determine the best of breed question, and void the other(s).

Close duplicates have an adverse impact on the game, imho.

Thanks again.
However, I won't get any fun from the markets if my funds are tainted.
From what I've learned on this thread and others, simply resetting a users funds is somewhat problematic in that (for especially hubrich users), the market fluctuations would be severe.

btw: I'll have a lot of fun starting over.

kind of like most 'old men' dreams...

I'm looking forward to testing the site (in beta) as a new user, but a new user with some experience. I expect to have a blast.

at you later folks!

Thank you for last post.
I've reviewed the comments.

I DO remember experiencing something akin to pics4d's where there were markets that had been active for a time, and then, all of a sudden their percentages seemed like someone must have dumped a busload of $H into them. So, I wagered on those markets. I thought, at that time that I happened to get in at a good price. Now I see that while I thought I had gotten in at a very opportune time, I just happened to run into a bug. hmmm.

Well, what to do now?

First of all, I owe a bagful of apologies to Rohan.
I also owe Rohan a truckload of thanks for digging this up.

What I abhore and deny is the 'cheating label'.

So,

jersjusttrolling is entering full and complete retirement.
I'll let the admins know that I won't be playing or commenting or anything with that account any longer. I'll make appropriate comments within my profile. I will be turning off all email alerts for that account as well.

And then, I start up with another username. Yes, I'm admitting now so no one accuses me of operating under multiple ids.

I'll let you know my new username once I'm ready.

Oh really.

You are so wrong!

HD thing ...
I have yet to let go of any of my OBAMA's Out by 4/30 positions. Why do you think my net worth is dropping so fast. I'm on strike and not propping up that market. So, what drugs are you on ?

Why don't you speak truth?
You still haven't answered a very simple question that I posted awhile ago. If I DO have any funds that were because of a bug, then I will simply start over with a new username, and have jersjusttrolling blocked or deleted or whatever.

But I need proof! I need proof!
Why don't you answer my simple question?
" What bug are you referring to, and how did I use it? "

Jerry's Just Trolling replied on April 08, 2008 03:10 to the discussion "Proposed new procedure for dealing with gaming" in Hubdub:

1. I never admitted anything, so quit trying to put someone else's foot in my mouth. I know nothing about a bug.

2. The "Howard Dean" suggestion was brought up by Destry, and I explicity replied that HD was not the person. By the way, I'm so upside-down in that market that your suggestion of cheating is ridiculous. I've lost over $H75k in net worth in that market alone. So, I ask you very clearly, HOW am I cheating?

3. Rohan, when Satyaki finally 'fessed up', all you could say in reponse was "you are so stupid". That's because you we're defending him until that point, and then, all of a sudden, when you're called on it, you start slandering others. Review your own notes Rohan, take a look in the mirror, and then let me know if you need a shoulder, ok?

Now, what is this bug you are talking about, and how did I use it?
Please, I'm dying to know.

Jerry's Just Trolling replied on April 08, 2008 02:49 to the discussion "Proposed new procedure for dealing with gaming" in Hubdub:

whoa rohan, you are way out of line.
what bug are talking about?
I've not gamed any market. I've predicted the outcome the way I see it. The market you suggest must be the "will Obama drop out by April 30th" market. If I'm correct (market suspends 4/30), then I'll be vindicated. If not, then I prognosticated incorrectly. In the meantime, my networth has taken a big hit, and folks have come and gone, and taken their profits, at my expense.

So, what the heck are you blabbering about now?
