Your time is not worth $500 in FP if you have all day to sit in front of your computer and make bets with fake money and then expect a red carpet thrown in front of you for having no life. You are unbelievable

I did not make this contest up and you little weak minded ignorant punk don't tell me what my precious time is or is not worth. They are the ones that included the prize to get attention. Since you are so sure let's see you start up anything with no prize and we will see how many people join. The ignorance and arrogance that has made its way unto SBR since you dick sucking point phucks have come around is past annoying.

The fact that its free and everyone voluntary signed up to participate doesnt mean they are owed shit its free to join and its FAKE MONEY!! they are wagering so if they lost 50 bucks on a hedge so what! Its not real money!! Are you guys really that strapped for cash?

You are one ignorant wanna-be bigshot. Everytime something like this happens you get the wanna-be big shot computers that all of a sudden become Donald Trumph. When a add is posted in the newspaper for a new clinical trial to test a drug for some condition it is of course stated that it is voluntary but it is also stated that you will be compensated with something rather it is a stipend or the new drug. They don't just expect for you to give them your time and truthful assessment for nothing. SBR has become infested with you little ignorant phucks.

Lol I never in one of my post have I ever said im a big shot I guess literacy isnt one of your strong points. You are trying to compare a clinical test to a free gambling beta test and im the ignorant ****!? Sbr has become infested free loading with little pricks like you that think they are owed shit for their 2 cents.

Sure buddy go cry about how you turned 10k in fake money into a profit for more fake money. And how its nor fair and how valuable your time is and why you deserve a $500 freeplay because you have no life

**Dark Horse** · 03-09-11, 10:55 PM

Ganch, about the exchange down the road. Are you going to be the decision maker when unusual or unexpected situations arise? Don't mean to pry, but it would make a difference if you had an ownership share, as opposed to being hired to put it all together.

**ThaddeusB** · 03-09-11, 11:02 PM

Site's back up & running with a few of tomorrow's lines posted. Not sure if they "count" or not, but they are there.

**Ganchrow** · 03-09-11, 11:18 PM

Yep, they count ... I'l be adjusting balances as described in a moment.

I'd also appreciate it you could check out the Simple History Viewer at http://www.xmexchange.com/static/html/history.html.

Assuming it proves bug free, I'll be adding it to the site shortly.

It seems to work OK. Although, I started the date at 12,9xx and it say my profit form yesterday was 30xx, so there is a ~100 point discrepancy. The overall profit lines up, though, so it is probably a $100 win that wasn't actually graded by the start of the day despite happening yesterday or something like that.

What is the meaning of the numbers in ()?

On an unrelated note, did you get my feedback email?

Wow I can't believe how many people care so much about a free contest. The contest is not even a speck on the wall compared to how important a highly liquid, well run exchange would be for US players.

I am a little concerned with what I heard about buying seats like at the NYSE. Why would you want to limit participants? Why wouldn't you want everyone to be able to participate? The point of a membership fee is to limit the number of members. How does that help you? Or is that instead of commissions on every wager, just a flat rate for an unlimited number of trades?

**THEGREAT30** · 03-10-11, 02:00 AM

good job getting site back up now get those SEC options in there

**Jaug** · 03-10-11, 02:05 AM

Currently giving great value on USC -3, get on it while it lasts.

Yeah, the total initially omitted the first value. It doesn;t any more.

[quote=ThaddeusB;9143690]What is the meaning of the numbers in ()? Final scores. Score for team listed in that cell comes first.

Unfortunately I did not,

**VegasInsider** · 03-10-11, 02:58 AM

WTF?!? I logged into the site and my account showed just over 23K, which was correct. I clicked on a couple of games and my account was showed 10K. I don't get what's going on with this site.

My wins we're big on Rhode Island and Oklahoma State.

**horja1** · 03-10-11, 03:03 AM

someone did reset the acounts afterall ...

OK here's what I think we'll do. I believe that this represents the most fair option.

All players with current bankrolls (after I grade all of today;s wagers) of $10k or more will be allowed to continue with those bankrolls.

All players with bankrolls under $10k will have their bankrolls reset to $10,000.

Fair?

Ganchrow ... did something change?

**THEGREAT30** · 03-10-11, 03:14 AM

Yes as VegasInsider and Horja have already stated looks like all accounts were setback to $10,000. I had 16,800 plus and my balance is now in the negative 4,000+ because I put over 12,000 on Pitt. Is this a mistake caused by communication between Blackie and Ganch or another glitch?

same here ... I had $32,000 in pending offers on 3 games and a negative $22,000 balance, but after I cancel all offers my balance went back to $10,000 ...

**horja1** · 03-10-11, 03:20 AM

hmmm ... my balance is back again at $33,000 ...

**Ganchrow** · 03-10-11, 03:25 AM

All accounts look correct to me ....

**horja1** · 03-10-11, 03:32 AM

for 5 minutes all acounts had a $10,000 balance, even the table from the login page had only $10,000 acounts ... if you didn't do it than you should check for a posible problem ...

Hmm ... odd. I'll have to check the log files on that.

Seems awfully serendipitous that this appeared to occur at about the same as the intended balance resets.

Question though .. was this just a display issue? Was there anything to suggest that for any period of time your balance really WAS $10k -- or might it just have been erroneously displaying the number between Ajax requests?

I logged in and had the following balance (aprox):

Total: $10,000
Avail: - $23,523.51
Open: $33,523.51

After I canceled all open offers my balance went to:

Total: $10,000
Avail: $10,000
Open: $0

It did not cross my mind to try to make an offer bigger than $10,000 afterwards to see if it's just a display problem.

**horja1** · 03-10-11, 04:23 AM

it seems there is another problem now ... I am logged in, but the top of the page still displays the login fields (user field + pass field) and I can not see the balance, but I can see my offers and I can make and cancel my offers.

Also the link displays my username and pass:

http://www.xmexchange.com/?json=1&username=*****&password=*****

Is that ok?

**horja1** · 03-10-11, 04:47 AM

just made 2 new offers but the balance did not update ("open balance" still the same as before making the offers)

**Fishhead** · 03-10-11, 06:54 AM

No balances, pending, available showing on top.............................

**horja1** · 03-10-11, 07:04 AM

**HotStreak** · 03-10-11, 08:22 AM

My biggest problem wasn't a technical issue. It was Georgetown.

Market makers will have the opportunity to buy seats and take an equity stake in the company. they will be able to trade for a flat yearly fee. Day traders will have the option to lease seats on a monthly basis for unlimited trading or pay per trade. The idea of selling seats is to get members involved and reward them in the event that the exchange can be sold or IPOD at a future date. If you werevable to buy a seat at Betfair 10 years ago with stock you would have gotten a great return on your investment.
