Ganchrow, it might be a good idea for you guys to buy the website domain exmexchange.com I accidentally typed that in this morning, right now the address doesn't lead anywhere, but you guys may want to grab it before a domain squatter does.

Ganch:

Thanks again for the fun contest. I'm in third, and planning to overtake chaulky tomorrow night for the silver medal! I'm going to write a comprehensive post containing all of my suggestions and constructive criticisms (as requested) once the contest is over.

Two questions for now:

1) When do you plan to have this up and running for real money? By football season, I hope?

2) I sent an email (as instructed on the site) requesting "likely pricing structure and exchange membership," but have not received a response (unless I missed it somehow). When do you think this info will be available? Is it something you can post on this thread?

Keep up the great work!

BigFish

P.S.: Much more to come when the contest ends, but I think you should have a "pause button" for offers. In other words, sometimes I want to take down my offer, but only temporarily; I don't want to go through all of the steps to create another offer 4 minutes from now when I'm ready to put my offer back up again (or one very similar to it). The player should be able to simply hit the pause button to accomplish all of this. Matchbook had this, and it was fantastic. This is particularly invaluable for live betting purposes, which you've indicated would be offered (e.g., pause your offer when you go to take a piss, or grab something from the fridge, etc.).

I went all-in on UCONN and somehow only went from 5th to 4th. I'll take the money, though...

Which other posters cashed?

Big Fish,

Did you ever read the first post of the thread? Do you even have a RW account? =)

Posters must have a RebateWager account to win prizes. Open one here to be prize-eligible.

Lou:

Yes, I read the first post -- that's how I knew about the contest (although Ganch had been hinting about it during the course of the first smaller contest). By my post above, I was not suggesting that the prize money wasn't displayed somewhere -- I just wasn't sure what it was off the top of my head and wanted to quickly chime in that I had won second place. And yes, I have a RW account. I even wrote to Ganch to make sure I was good to go after creating the account. He confirmed that I was. See Post # 95 in the $1,000 beta contest thread.
