Don't be. It was a huge gamble. It could have just as easily dropped to 50 cents.

Did you hear about them giving all 21+ passengers free beer on St. Patrick's Day?
While the other airlines are busy charging you to bring a bag with you....
Isn't being able to choose your seat nice, though.

ok thanks. if someone elses can supply the stock-market equivalent to live betting, please chip in. wsex says it was founded by options traders. havent done any options or day trading myself. just wondering if any of you all who play the market find your trading easier and more profitable -- or vastly different and more difficult -- than live betting.
Jack I agee let,s hope for a nice steady week up.
New Bank plan seems to be getting good press..
That by itself could be worth 10%/12%. At least some of those so called smart guys think so.

live betting at wsex & day trading = VERY SIMILAR.....I cant speak to day trading, i dont do it but i know a bit about it....wsex live betting though, you're basically buying shares of a team to cover the spread, and the shares move up/down based on what happens in the game (you probably know this)....it can really make you nice money if a game goes against the team you like, then you can get in pretty cheap and hope for a comeback......or if you want to make 'easy money' you buy the team when theyre covering and hope they hold on....but it varies wildly based on a play, ie turnovers move the markets like crazy and there is a $5 margin b/w bid/sell so thats how they make their money...
not to hijack this, but id like to hear more about day-trading....(I assume thats what you're askin bout too, nelson)....sh*t is so volatile lately there is room for profits so far as i can see, but very risky and need capital....plus at least with stocks they dont move quite as violently as it does in wsex when a game-changing play happens..
thanks for the response, nysportsfan. let me lay out where i'm coming from in next post. PLEASE step up and comment those in the know. jack if we're afield just say the word and will create new thread.
yes, good description. somehow i missed out on live betting until a few months ago. in most ways it is more attractive than regular betting. the problem is only two shops (wsex and matchbook) offer it routinely. and only for a couple games a night, apart from weekends or tournaments. i want something that offers live action as much like wsex's interactive trading as possible and i dont know where this would be except the stock market or currency trading or some such. you say day trading, that's the info im seeking.
it might be. part of it is that i dont know what i'm asking, which is why i'm asking, lol. i just want MORE of what wsex offers. i am going to try matchbook but havent got going yet in part because they seem to offer exactly the same games wsex does - 2 tv games a day.
do you believe day trading is less or more risky than wx-interactives? to me live betting seems less risky than dead (before-game or HT) betting because you can always lock out at a partial loss if things aren't going your way, whereas with many dead bets, you might know your money is gone a minute into the game and there's not a damn thing you can do. it seems to me that live betting is vastly superior to dead betting. its easier and both more fun.
i want to hear from some of you day traders - how does it compare to live sports betting? always been intrigued by what ive read about day trading back when that was the big thing, mid-nineties. seems like most reports said the majority lost money. is that the case?
