Think of it this way: Your predictions get scaled down, but the more the wealth now, the higher you rise on the all time leaderboard

Ok; so what the swiss bank account number?

how about this- you give me 1 % of the H$ I give you in real cash :-)

rohan replied on March 20, 2008 16:32 to the discussion "Leaderboard end-of-quarter changes" in Hubdub:

hey krujis,
Your predictions aren't getting sold. What it means that is that they are all scaled down. for example, a 500 dollar prediction becomes a 50 $ prediction at the same odds. If your wealth is 50K, everything proportionally reduces by 20/50*100=40% so, a $100 bet goes to a $400 bet and $10,000 in cash goes to $4000

I had suggested to Tom by email that we be scaled back to 1% upto 5000 and minimum 1000. Like this better however(Its obvious why...)
I can't be happier.. I have nearly $250,000 in cash and have no clue whatsoever what to do with it..(maybe jenniandboys would like some, along with some more for her 'little leaderboard's' members?)

I wonder what it will be..going back to putting $100 predictions, from $5000...lol..

I'll get back to you on the band names..I gotta think..

Thanks, got it..

satyaki is one of my best friends; I still, however, feel that his gaming was wrong. Lets forget about it now, and get on to the issue? should survivor qquestions survive?
I Vote NO. Infact, think of it this way: voting on the outcome of an episode of a show is hardly newsworthy(though I'm sure some sites report on it). Maybe a question on the final winner which suspends at least 10 days before the episode is fine

rohan replied on March 20, 2008 11:50 to the question "Sort and search your open predictions" in Hubdub:

Sortable predictions are working average. They look great, but they don't actually filter anything, even from the dropdown menu..Is it something with me, or is yours like that too?

Man do I hate roadies questions. I live in India, and I proposed in some thread that Roadies questions either be banned or have a suspend date atleast 5 days before the show

rohan replied on March 19, 2008 16:57 to the discussion "Market unsuspended (resumed) without notice." in Hubdub:

No cash on this, but its a valid point. Also, for some reason, I have stopped receiving emails when my questions are voided, and sometimes even for settled predictions

Hey all,
This may not be the right place to say it, but I'm too lazy to create a new topic. What I want to say is that there are WAYYYYYY too many Roadies questions, all of which have been gamed. The day before the episode, there is a sharp spike and it invariably turns out to be right. I think that all Roadies questions should either be banned or have a suspend date 5 days before the episode. Its only fair.

My opinion:

The Chinese govt isn't going to release high figures, and the tibetan govt isn't going to release low ones. the only solution I can see is let the bbc report. Keep the market open till 20th, if no figures have been released, suspend for 2 or 3 days. If still no figures have been relased, void.

I have H$ on this, a $100 on 3 diff options

rohan marked one of rightorwrong's replies in Hubdub as useful. rightorwrong replied to the problem "Incorrect settlement".

rohan reported a problem in Hubdub on March 17, 2008 13:42:

Incorrect settlement

This question:
http://www.hubdub.com/e/Market/Will_t...

has been incorrectly settled.

The "discount" rate cut announced Sunday applies only to the short-term loans that financial institutions get directly from the Federal Reserve. It doesn't apply to individual borrowers. Therefore, it doesn't apply as a "rate cut". Please reopen/resettle

rohan started following the question "Escalation: What color is this tie?" in Hubdub.

rohan replied on March 12, 2008 14:10 to the question "Escalation: What color is this tie?" in Hubdub:

I have $250 on blue/navy and $100 on red.
Purple is a general term used in English to describe a range of shades of color occurring between red and blue.

The tie is clearly purple, and purple is closer to blue, so settle as blue. Certainly not pink.

[Good links to see the tie]

rohan replied on March 10, 2008 18:22 to the problem "Is there a time zone issue?" in Hubdub:

hey chris, could you un-suspend this question?US markets close in over 2 and a half hours.

rohan shared an idea in Hubdub on February 27, 2008 13:43:

Automated questions

How about introducing some kind of automated system that allows questions for more than 1 or two days simultaneously [I'm talking specifically about the DOW and other stock markets, its a bit bugging to keep creating the same questions again and again and again...]
