Hubdub Results 8

« H E Predictive Markets :: email
posted Tuesday, 19 May 2009

My previous cumulative results for Hubdub predictive markets was 20-10-3(correct-wrong-draw).  Here are some more predictive market results from Hubdub.com for bets that I have participated in.

  • Will construction spending recover by summer 2008
    • Correct
  • Who will be the next President of the U.S.? (McCain vs. Obama)
    • Correct
  • Super Bowl XLIII - Arizona Cardinals vs Pittsburgh Steelers - Who will win?
    • Correct (Hub Dub was around to slightly above 60% for Steelers for the entire time leading up to the game)
  • Will the MESSENGER probe discover evidence of water on Mercury?
    • Wrong (there was water discovered in the atmosphere of Mercury)
  • Will Congress approve Obama's stimulus bill before Feb. 16?
    • Correct
  • Who will be the #1 pick in the 2009 NFL draft?
    • Correct (this had many choices but the correct choice was overwhelmingly favored over all the other choices throughout the period the question was open with an absolute level close to 50% until it went up even higher right before the draft)

 

New cumulative total is 25-11-3 (correct-wrong-draw).
