also, the contest is a fascinating look into the minds of traders. i was surprised by the vast range of delist predicts for potter.

Posted by: islander (a.k.a del_USA_islander) on Aug 08, 19:02 in response to second gary's post It seems to me that this contest is well conceived, and...

and just through 4 entries for this contest, they are all over the place (glee from 14 to 48!)

not showing math as dmac states shouldnt really lead to manipulation, would it? not with the guesses so far across the spectrum. but of course i am not seeing it from an official position.

the only suggestion i would make, and hope lobo doesnt hate me for this!, but there were probably too many posts about the potter contest (initial post, repost, recap, unofficial result, official result, etc.). limit the number of posts and the frequency of the contests (once per hsx season??) would help keep the board primarily at its main purpose.

for those interested, New Contest. Details and Rules listed inside....(submissions for the contest are now open, post away) lobogotti Aug 08, 17:32

Are you using our traders to do research? I think this contest should be AFTER the adjust. {nm} Antibody Aug 08, 18:00

i highly doubt that he is, but you have to admit that doing it before the adjust makes it much more difficult. {nm} LuCiFeR Aug 08, 18:03

whatever you want. I assure you I'm not using traders for research. I was merely trying to come up with a creative contest that rewarded lobogotti Aug 08, 18:03

if you're gonna turn this into a regular thing, I {nm} Antibody Aug 08, 18:10

sfek. I'd have to think about it. It getting around guessing without showing math. Might be better having it on your site. {nm} Antibody Aug 08, 18:11

no problem. delete the contest and I'll just skip it. I was going to do a monthly contest, but I'm not going to do it on my website lobogotti Aug 08, 18:16

It seems to me that this contest is well conceived, and that the OW adjust limits its value as research... second gary Aug 08, 18:42

Instead of the limit being "once a month" or "once a season," it could be "only when there are four or more wide releases on one wknd." {nm} second gary Aug 08, 20:42

Someone will inevitalby use this contest to justify not showing math when they post adjust and/or delist predictions in the future.. {nm} Antibody Aug 08, 22:36

okay, understood. will you please delete the post so there is no lingering doubt about the contest being played? lobogotti Aug 08, 22:54

AGREED! {nm} GLAMMGUY Aug 08, 20:50

was wrong with the contest. Its not doing anything against policy and it is getting lots of participation. I find it rather interesting, and {nm} MasterofPinball1983 Aug 08, 19:26

it is interesting to see how others think/guess how something would do. {nm} MasterofPinball1983 Aug 08, 19:27

it has the pontential to move Stock prices, epecially if an overwhelming majority is predicting higher/lower than the current price. {nm} Antibody Aug 08, 22:48

To give others (non-Deltas) a chance, I will refrain from participation in this contest. DTXbro Aug 08, 19:22

so, are we still on, or did Antibody spoil the fun? {nm} MasterofPinball1983 Aug 08, 19:32

said he had think about it...guess he's still thinking about it {nm} tealfan Aug 08, 22:08

The contest may continue provided traders put the predicted numbers INSIDE the Additional Message, rather than the Quick Reply. {nm} Antibody Aug 08, 22:56

that's fair. do you mind if we scrap this one and I'll repost with that rule intact tomorrow? {nm} lobogotti Aug 08, 23:02

Yes, thanks for understanding. I do appreciate what you're trying to do. {nm} Antibody Aug 08, 23:10
