It's as long as 10 days, now -- the gap between a bet's closing and the settlement of the S-proceeds. A growing number of closed bets remain unprocessed, and many bet closing times are so far in the future -- two or three quarters away -- that gratification is not longer so instantaneous. (SXSWi bets may juice things up a bit.)

The prediction is that at least one bet will remain unsettled 11 days after it "closed."

Hi Jack, regarding the OOXML prediction, the way it was written stated, "The Standard will not make a judgment until an official announcement by the ISO," which, from what I can tell, could be as late as March 29th. We can't judge that prediction prematurely, or we'll get burned by the community (even if the prediction seems like a foregone conclusion, and the original closing date expired). More fresh predictions will be up shortly.
