Excellent job hitting $10M in a month bud! Unless you had a lot of experience and a plan, that gain in a month is out of this world! (cont)

Posted by: Willroast on Aug 03, 00:39 in response to Filmstardust's post Thanks to Roto and Willroast, excellent tips! Question,...

As far as leagues go, there's no sure fire way to know which ones are active socially but there is one series that is great for people of all port sizes. Search "port" in the league page and look for the $10M-$30M port league. While that league is actually not too active post-wise, several of the future leagues may be. The league admin runs leagues for all port sizes and the port size specifiactions ensure that, at the very least, you will have like-sized ports to compete against.My YTD port is in the 10-30 league this month and I'll answer any questions I can for you bud.

As your port size gets higher, I think opportunities for other leagues will present themselves. There are many leagues geared toward specific port sizes. The problem is that many people randomly start those and then abandon them but they'll still be on the list. As your port grows though, you'll start to thin out the dead leagues since the players will have more time invested and therefor keep them going. You should be able to find decent $25M, $50M, $100M leagues and certainly decent ones at $250 and beyond.

Someone please comment on stocks, this is Friday. If this was xmas my little port is a horrow story. GUT CK.   JPS13 on Aug 02, 12:36

I second this. For the first time in a while, I went to bed and woke up in the red. I could really use a OW tutorial if anybody's offering? {nm}   Willroast on Aug 02, 13:59

Buy low, sell high, short high, cover low. {nm}   DTravel on Aug 02, 13:59

Nice.While I love the Cliff's Notes, I think I need a bit more. So far, my only experience in OW is a massive loss in WOLV2. Now I'm scerred {nm}   Willroast on Aug 02, 14:02

Most people (including me) lost money on that one. Too much group-think by predictors with no one thinking under 60 was even possible.   RogerMore on Aug 02, 14:24

Thanks for the sage advice RogerMore. I will take it to heart when I get the courage to step back into the OW guantlet! {nm}   Willroast on Aug 02, 15:11

Also, I forgot to mention in my post below, but your HSX blog has been invaluable to me when it comes to understanding the game. Thank you. {nm}   Willroast on Aug 02, 15:38

Just guessing that the reference is not to Rick Horrow. ROTO Thoughts inside.   RotoHockeyYTD2013 on Aug 02, 14:15

Starting out and buying opening soon worked for a while, but my 1mil win is now bleeding fast. ;more {nm}   JPS13 on Aug 02, 14:59

Great advice Roto. I've employed much of the same strat on my fledgling YTD (lots of my adivice, cont)   Willroast on Aug 02, 15:09

Several players offer your in depth synopsis (Roto) and Thank You all! Printed for study. Thks   JPS13 on Aug 02, 15:21

Thanks to Roto and Willroast, excellent tips! Question, i'm just a month in the game, and i guess i'll be getting to the $10M on monday,   Filmstardust on Aug 02, 20:57

Thanks again, Willroast! I will join the port league as soon as i can, monday hopefully! (cont)   Filmstardust on Aug 03, 09:13

I love it when new people "get it". Thhis game is great. Funny you say not knowing "shorting" (cont)   CrockettsMafia on Aug 03, 10:08

Absolutely! That's why this game is so great, it's fake money, but if you like movies, and box office, in my case you'll end up learning    Filmstardust on Aug 03, 10:18

I think you can join the 10-30 port now at 9.5+ so let me know in the league if you have any questions. I'll keep an eye out bud! {nm}   CrockettsMafia on Aug 03, 10:29

I just did! :) {nm}   Filmstardust on Aug 04, 08:46
