They both did it, as we all knew they would. Greg and Ardell both finished a full 101 posts in a 24 hour period, and then both surprised us with a 102nd post just under the wire. Greg’s 102nd was in his signature every-word-a-link-style, while Ardell’s last post was an inspirational change-the-world one. Thanks to everybody who participated in this betting market! With Greg the winner, his stock closes at $100 and its holders are cashed out accordingly. Ardell’s stock closes at $0. To add insult to injury, Greg himself was the winner of our betting pool, netting himself a cool $6,027. Ardell did not participate in the pool, unless her login name is test1, gqTsuK8w, walkable, or tyr. Ardell’s Seattle compatriot Eric demonstrated his loyalty by betting big on her…alas, capitalism puts little stock on loyalty and his results weren’t, ah, so good. Now that this is over, maybe you can let me get back to enjoying my Lake Tahoe vacation, which is the only reason I didn’t participate and whip Greg’s butt.

There don’t seem to be many contrarians in our betting market…it currently has Greg ahead of Ardell by 5 to 3, which reflects Greg’s current blog post lead of 70 to 30. Where are Ardell’s supporters? Let’s see some daring trading and motivate Ardell to pick up the pace. If she manages a spurt of energy and pulls ahead and wins…some folks will make good money, and others (Greg included) won’t. Does this count as insider trading? And where’s Ardell — doesn’t she have time to place a bet or two in between posts?

Update from Vegas: Early odds are on Greg
September 24th, 2006 · No Comments
It’s a Sunday, with few traders on the floor, and it’s a new market, so trading volume today was light. Current odds are on Greg at about 7 to 5. Experts predict significant trading volume on Monday, with fluctuating odds and great profit potential for those who call it right. Confused? See my earlier post.
