It has a rather complex answer, however, that I want to address. I'll be posting a longer response here later today (I just got back from a week's vacation and am trying to catch up). Back in a bit!</p> Tue, 16 Dec 2008 11:39:13 -0800 Eric Hill113600 comment 8613 at http://www.thestandard.com http://www.thestandard.com/blog/tis-prediction-market/octobers-prediction-market-top-percentage-gainer#comment-8584 <p><!--paging_filter-->@TIS, sorry for posting this comment here but there are no other available means aside from a feedback email.</p> <p>I can't help but seeing decreased activity at this site, both on commentaries to news/articles as well as prediction market. According to Compete.com, the unique visitors has dropped by a whopping 50% (from Jul '08 to Nov '08). On the other hand, Predictify.com, after being in the doldrum from March '08 to Sept '08, rocketed to almost 4x monthly unique visitor by Nov '08 (surpassing TIS). What's the deal?</p> Mon, 15 Dec 2008 10:01:27 -0800 David Kuan comment 8584 at http://www.thestandard.com http://www.thestandard.com/blog/tis-prediction-market/octobers-prediction-market-top-percentage-gainer#comment-8394 <p><!--paging_filter-->Congratulations! I am not surprised to not make the list and I am glad to see increased activities by others. Hopefully, I made the November list.</p> Thu, 04 Dec 2008 18:33:20 -0800 David Kuan comment 8394 at http://www.thestandard.com http://www.thestandard.com/blog/tis-prediction-market/octobers-prediction-market-top-percentage-gainer <!--paging_filter--><p>October's prize winner for having the top % gain month/month is <a href="/people/tom-h">Tom Holowka</a> with a healthy 201% monthly gain (off of one massive bet).  Some of the leaderboard regulars have crept into the mix again, too, which is nice to see.  Below is a breakdown of the top ten performers for the month.  </p> <p> <table style="border: 1px solid #999999"> <thead> <tr> <th>name</th> <th>start</th> <th>end</th> <th>% change</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr class="odd"> <td><a href="/people/tom-h" title="View user profile.">Tom H</a></td> <td>S$196,517.86</td> <td>S$592,373.34</td> <td>201.43%</td> </tr> <tr class="even"> <td><a href="/people/denis-lafont" title="View user profile.">Denis Lafont-Tr...</a></td> <td>S$99,102.06</td> <td>S$221,579.36</td> <td>121.58%</td> </tr> <tr class="odd"> <td><a href="/people/stephane-cheikh" title="View user profile.">Stephane Cheikh</a></td> <td>S$83,389.44</td> <td>S$184,735.66</td> <td>84.74%</td> </tr> <tr class="even"> <td><a href="/people/lenny-t" title="View user profile.">Lenny T</a></td> <td>S$77,524.58</td> <td>S$159,931.75</td> <td>59.93%</td> </tr> <tr class="odd"> <td><a href="/people/brian-connelly" title="View user profile.">Brian Connelly</a></td> <td>S$52,648.80</td> <td>S$159,896.84</td> <td>59.90%</td> </tr> <tr class="even"> <td><a href="/people/chris-allison" title="View user profile.">Chris Allison</a></td> <td>S$57,811.67</td> <td>S$159,087.43</td> <td>59.09%</td> </tr> <tr class="odd"> <td><a href="/people/rick-onyshko" title="View user profile.">Rick Onyshko</a></td> <td>S$52,786.57</td> <td>S$153,006.80</td> <td>53.01%</td> </tr> <tr class="even"> <td><a href="/people/betsy-schiffman902627" title="View user profile.">betsy schiffman</a></td> <td>S$205,414.97</td> <td>S$307,755.47</td> <td>49.82%</td> </tr> <tr class="odd"> <td><a href="/people/lev-danilov" title="View user profile.">Lev Danilov</a></td> <td>S$302,893.56</td> <td>S$438,564.99</td> <td>44.79%</td> </tr> <tr class="even"> <td><a href="/people/marc-chiang" title="View user profile.">Marc Chiang</a></td> <td>S$803,441.17</td> <td>S$1,131,642.39</td> <td> <p>40.85% </p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </p> <p>Congrats Tom!  Check back soon for the November totals.
