in agreement to allowing two types of play. allowing for the market players to follow the percentages and the news-hounds to follow their interests could result in doubling the active players as they would form their own micro communities. the problem would be that the "recent comments" would get confusing as the two communities try to comunicate.

perhaps there should an indicator added to our avatatrs, profiles, etc to show out correct prediction percentage. i don't play to compete with someone who has unlimited time to sit and watch for easy money in the markets, i play to see how many i get right. i cash out only when i need more cash to bet on something of interest to me. i started out posting questions of personal interest and then slowed on the postings and lo and behold other users, with similar interests picked up the ball and started posting their own versions on the same topics. as i noticed that there would be so much wagering on some of the questions before the 12 hour threshhold that my own questions were not worth my wagering on if i were to only play for $H i started playing with the suspend times. just to see how many people were wagering without interest in the question. quite a few i would say as i watch the persnickity ones get all irate because they didn't take the time to read the settlement details. there will have to be a rule amendment to as to suspend time vs closing dates so that those that aren't interested in the $H don't get bored and game the gamers........or an option on the posting a question page to have the editors check the times before the question is posted. this is because any new players to the sport are probably not going to interested in reading 50 pages of rules prior to posting questions

perhaps there should be some sort of indicators on our profiles and leaderboard scores to show correct predictions. not all users are interested in just the movement of the market. short of scrolling through their own settled question list, there is no way of tracking their hit/miss ratio

unless everyones hubdud dollars are rest DON'T bet on anything that the top predictors have as public information , it could be misinformation

oh yeah if there is nothing you know or are interested in , then post your own questions

bet on what you know, enjoy the witty comments, don't worry what anybody thinks and/or has to say, everyone plays for a different reason so be true to yourself and to your own personal satisfaction

But really, predict on things you know about.

this question is going to be lactated to death. A question like "Will the waitresses from HOOTERS be on Deal or No Deal" would swing either way as people may/may not be offended by the word HOOTERS. As it was a charity event where HOOTERS donated $100 to Breast Cancer Research for every chicken wing that was eaten I figure anyone who complained about the word HOOTERS would have been a boob. I think this is one for tabliod section,as the questions can be more irrevent and if tactful, amusing

well since we have a forum opened, the next buzzsaw that we hubdubber's may encounter will have to do with relegion. i want to post a question on harvard limiting their rec. facilities to accomodate 6 muslim women. i beleive that this is reverse discrimination. any ideas how to post a question that will not cause rioting in the middle east and some muslim cleric declaring death sentences on everyone associated with hubdub?
