Whomp, do ALL markets close during match time or just for the teams that play ? Because I think that other results can influence some teams' prices. Since it is a zero-sum game. I assumed that no business at all would be done between 3pm and 12 pm.

What does everyone else think? I'm ok with people trading other markets but I can see your point. Thoughts?

BCLG100 · 14-06-2006, 19:39

Im not bothered as im not taking the game that seriously

I can enjoy a game where the rules aren't very strict, but at a good table with friends. I'm more picky on the Internet. It's because it's more difficult to communicate.

Time for a ruling...I've decided to disallow Romeo's trade till tonight's closing price. Now that every team has one game under their belt it will start to impact prices of the other teams significantly. If I don't hear from Romeo I will assume he still wants this trade.

I think that you should be able to trade for last nights matches until the next day's matches start. After that, it's the next daily update that you will have to use for prices.

Since the US prices are so low, why not rebuying them now ? It's not like you will make much more money by waiting for the US to reach zero. In the meantime, you lose good opportunities to make some pocket money... all the more as you have a lot of money to invest.

What I meant with my post is that since I don't see any usefull trades today I might as well stick to my US stock and pick up that small additional drop. Obviously I'm not gonna wait till US drops to zero, it will be too long a wait while better deals can be done.

But I do think tommorow has some interesting matches. So I'm gonna sell my US stock when the market opens again. Depending on midnight prices I'm gonna invest in a new market.

So Whomp: please sell my US position when the market opens again so I can enjoy a quick dive in my money

I still want that trade, so please execute it at the earliest possible conviance, preferably before England plays again.

I am concerned that the US team could do something rash, and I would really hate to see my Italian gains get hosed by a dumb lucky manuever.
