@ rdeggau: Congratulations on your big win. About a week ago I had a slight lead, then you end up with triple my gain. Great finish. Hope we can all do it again.

bought zvassil cheaply ;-)

Bad day in tennis for rdeggau... None of the outsider bets went through and he/she lost grip of the mug.

   05/28/2011 05:52bgrigore

Volatile it is. Rdeggau seemed to have lost control at some point about a week ago but is back strong now. I have made quite a few wrong bets the last days and though I will fight until the end my chances are only marginal as far as I can see. I must say however that given your weight what you do both you and charlesf is very impressive.

   05/25/2011 17:04zvassil

Both me and charlesf carry too much weight to be in the favourites category.
I think rdeggau and you (bgrigore) have excellent chances, but it is a really volatile market.

   05/24/2011 01:43bgrigore

zvassil and charlesf are strong favorites at this moment but this market was/is a crazy one even the graphics cannot keep the pace with changes so I am betting some on little people like gencha, ken1 and me

   05/24/2011 00:38kenneth1

ken1 is coming up fast.. I know I bet on him... :)

   05/23/2011 21:17kruijs

very close:
charlesf @ 385.9%
zvassil @ 384.2%
rdeggau @ 349.9%
gencha @ 313.8%
kenneth1 @ 305.3%
... only a few days left

   05/20/2011 19:45kruijs

in the lead: rdeggau
Change: 513.9%

Love it!! Okay I'll start looking for "Other" again. Not veggie market....I'll try flower market next.

   05/20/2011 05:23charlesf

No, that was me, I just happen to like tomatoes. And that's the story I am sticking with.

   05/19/2011 21:18cici

Ohhhh! Is "other" that guy with the long beard I saw behind the tomato cart in the veggie market?????

   05/19/2011 21:17kruijs

"other" normally means "anyone (or anything) else, not mentioned in the options above"
"none of these" means that none of the options actually occur - regardless whatever else happens.

so, in this case "Other" will settle if anyone not mentioned in the options wins the contest.
"None of these" on "Who will be the next world leader to resign?" ( Who will be the next world leader to resign? ) settles if none of the explicitly mentioned options apply; it does not settle on "none of these" if someone else resigns.

   05/19/2011 20:16kenneth1

cici, one needs to be careful, as "other" in some markets doesnt mean none of the above.. kruijs is careful to point this out,
but it is an easy mistake to make.. Perhaps, you made this one... It is like Bill Clinton said, " it depends on what the meaning of is is."

   05/18/2011 19:07kenneth1

HI Pitched.... I caused one of the fluctuations by betting on myself , because of my vanity...
I am near you!!

   05/18/2011 08:12cici

even "other" is losing me money!

   05/18/2011 02:39PitchedOutsideLeg

What a great market, so many fluctuations

   05/18/2011 01:30cici

I'm doing very well, down 50%

   05/17/2011 11:56kenneth1

You're getting there bernardo..

   05/17/2011 07:13bgrigore

not going to try it much just liked the odds of me

   05/16/2011 17:17bernardo

I'm jealous of the percentage of this "Other" guy.

   05/16/2011 15:58kenneth1

Thanks Theory, Just give $ to kruijs, and he will turn them into coffee mugs, which you will win back and then
own lots of KtK mugs....Now, if you can sell them on the open market, then we can fund KtK at a profit...
Or we could simply get some advertisers, etc..

   05/16/2011 01:40Theory

Where do we send our campaign contributions Ken lol

   05/15/2011 22:34kenneth1

By the way folks, I decided to do some self-advertising, the recent increase putting me ahead of gencha (sorry), was pure vanity.
I just wanted to put in a spike next to my name, didn't mean to leap ahead of you in this horse race.. I am sure it will be short-lived, as I go up and down like cici.. Next, i will ask you all for funds for a run against Obama for the democratic nomination!! (sorry no $K)..

   05/15/2011 22:30kenneth1

Cici, I empathize (sp?) , but if you just regard it as a "learning experience", then even when you blow your hard earned $K , you
are ahead as you have learned from it...Neils Bohr once said "an expert is simply one who has made all the mistakes".. (paraphrasing)

   05/15/2011 21:08cici

not me! I go ahead, then backwards!
